It's not advisable to come here if you're depressed. It will only worsen your disease. Take it from me. I made stupid decisions since coming here because of depression. I've met people who have been seeing doctors for years here in sydney because of depression. Gabigabi umiiyak sila dahil sa depression. Not to discourage you but mahirap ang buhay abroad. Pls go see a doctor. Don't even think about going overseas with your condition.
