“But maybe by backing off and taking breaks, students are able to replenish their resources.”

Feeling drained leads to lower levels of satisfaction with life and higher rates of burnout, depression and ill-health. And while playing multiple roles can be stimulating, interesting and lead to sense of accomplishment and achievement, McCarthy said there are real risks we need to be aware of.

“People need to assess which strategies they’re using to cope with their problems and make sure they’re making time for resource recovery,” she said.

“Too many roles can be detrimental unless we begin asking ourselves honest, pointed questions,” she added.

“This technique is traditionally seen as ‘running away from your problems’,” said McCarthy.

According to a new study, putting the cellphone aside before going to sleep can be good for one and all as texting before going to bed can affect sleep and moods.

Dr. Peter G. Polos of JFK Medical Center in Edison, N.J., and colleagues found that text messaging and other electronic communication media were associated with excessive movement during sleep, insomnia, and leg pain at night in students ages 8 to 22.

From in.news.yahoo.com:

The report linked “high rates of daytime cognitive or mood problems … including ADHD, anxiety, depression, learning difficulties,” with late-night usage of mobiles and other electronic media.

“Attempts at limiting use at bedtime appear to be reasonable,” ABC News quoted the researchers as saying.

They suggested that parents set appropriate times for text messaging and other technology use and take proactive steps like moving computers out of the bedroom.

The participants averaged 33.5 text messages or e-mails sent per night to an average of 3.7 people for a total of 3,404 text messages per person per month.

These occurred from 10 minutes to four hours after bedtime.

Dr. David D. Gutterman of the Medical College of Wisconsin in Milwaukee said physicians should ask questions about technology use when evaluating children for sleep issues.

The first step in treating any health, mental, or physical complication is talking to a qualified doctor or healthcare professional and depression is no exception. It is important for you to realize and remember that only a qualified medical practitioner can understand and help you overcome depression. The entire process revolves around talks, diagnosis, and discussions on available treatment options.

Always remember that antidepressants are not meant for depression unless otherwise recommended by a qualified medical practitioner and if you are self-prescribing them, you are doing no good to yourself. You are merely putting your precious life at risk. You need to understand that depression is not allowing you to think and act like a normal one and you must make every possible effort to think and act normal. You may be asked and ready to change your lifestyle to get out of depression. This may include exercising and eating a healthy diet. You must spend quality time with yourself and every one who makes you feel happy and special. You may even talk to a counselor or communicate via chat or email.

Last but not the least do make it a point to remember that depression is an illness that must be treated at the earliest so that you can understand the importance of life. Your life is not only precious to you but to your near and dear ones and you have no right to waste or struggle with it when everything to amend it is in your own hands.

Life is nothing but a see-saw. It would not be wrong to say that you might be down one bad day but you will surely go up another day. However, if you go down and do not inspire yourself to go up, the destiny will keep you down and vice-versa. After all, it is well said that God helps those who help themselves.

If you came across a failure, you must be happy that God wants you to do things in a different manner and in a better way.

Try taking lessons from your failures and do not consider them to be the end of all roads to your future happiness and prosperity. You will enjoy appreciating life beyond the normal stuff, only if take failure just as success. If you are young, the platform is even bigger for you and you must not do anything that puts you down in any way.

If you see across yourself, you would find that almost each one of us faces troubles. These troubles may not be visible to you in the first parlance but that does not mean that they do not exist at all. The difference is that while some exaggerate, others quietly learn lessons and move ahead in their lives. The point here is that success and happiness are attained by those who take failures in their stride and improve their way of working to be successful and not to those who think that all is lost and gone when something bad happens to them.

So if you want to really make a name for yourself, do not give much thought to the failures of life. Try to learn from them and improvise when things do not go as per your expectations so that you can stay a Winner in all aspects. Remember, no one is the born child of destiny; one needs to make efforts and give his best before expecting anything.
