Procastination...Depression and Disorders!! ;-)

I didn’t know that procrastination is related to depression and they are certain types of procrastinating people. I can find one or more friends in each category!! Well, we are the Procastinators!!

So now, how depression and procrastination are related?? It’s been said (in about.com, they say their articles are medical reviewed) that depression puts us through some physical and medical conditions/symptoms and we adopt procrastination as way to deal with this conditions. Hmmphh!! Well-said!! But, I thought (prior to reading the article) procrastination is a habit in some people. There is a category “habitual” procrastinator, which explains just the thing I thought. But is the habitual procrastinator also a victim(!) of depression?

Let’s see, I am not done with the article yet.

The four types of procrastination styles can also overlap in an individual. The categories as explained in the article from about.com:
“Self-Doubt - These people feel there are rigid standards about how thing ought to be done and they fear they will fail. They second-guess themselves and delay taking action.



 Discomfort Dodging - This person avoids activities that will cause them distress, discomfort or anxiety. Rather ironically, the act of dodging the activity doesn't make it go away so tensions mount because of this avoidance.
Guilt-Driven - The person feels guilt over tasks undone, but rather than correct the original lack of action continues to procrastinate in order to not face up to the guilt feelings.
Habitual - The person has procrastinated so many times, it becomes an ingrained response. The person no longer thinks about why they do it, they feel it's just a part of themselves. It becomes an automatic response to say, "This is too hard", "I'm too tired", or to laugh it off as a character flaw.”

There are many remedies, well, the procrastinators are also aware of it. But I don’t think they are interested in the solutions. Even if they are, they will procrastinate in doing the simple task of just clicking on a web link. But I just want to relay just one advice: that is “KISS”, which means Keep It Simple, Stupid!

Sorry I won’t be quoting any more from the article, if you want to read it, go find it yourself!! I know, you won’t, ‘cause if you are reading this, then you must be in my circle of people and then must be a procrastinator too. So chances are you won’t be reading the article in the “near or far” future.

Talking about depression, depression is not just being sad. It’s way more than that and can affect physically. So, I was studying depression in the web. Depression can be also divided into many types like: Major depression- lack of interest in everything, Atypical depression- outside world events control their moods, Psychotic depression- people start to see and hear imaginary stuffs (negative), Dysthimia-they are depressed all life long and need medication, and Manic depression- which includes mood shifts of depression to mania and have extremely high rate of suicide.


The other day I was studying about personality disorders, and other disorders. There are: PTSD- Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (pheww..i remember the name), Anxiety disorder, Bi-polar disorder, Borderline disorder, Manic episodes and many more. “Reading the list”-alone could be really frustrating, they all sound same and you would have a hard time differing one from the other. Well, at least I did.
Bi-polar and Borderline are personality disorders, but their symptoms overlap with each other and also with depression, thus making it difficult to diagnose and treat the patient.

I guess now i should stop writing about depressions and stuff, it's really depressing.. ;-)
