In a world that's very tough to live in, where 60% majorly cares about their own self, where they derieve plessure in bring someone down instead of trying to raise up. This is a world we find ourself in right now and this has led to the upraising of mental health issues also paving way to suicidal thougts and also suicide.
I knew mental health was a big thing when suicides became rampant in Nigeria. Don't get me wrong, I know it doesn't care about your race or nationality but I used to look at Nigerians as strong set of race that can withstand anything thrown at us but I guess this is a big issue because I also fell into depression sometime back that was when I realised what individuals go through secretely.
After some research and from personal experiences, I came up with this write up.
Suicide is act of taking one's lifeintentionally. As I said earlier, it happens in all societies and by all kinds of people.
All these listed above are some of the causes why people Youths in particular try to take their own life. When I was passing through a bit of depression back then, mine was mainly loss of hopes. I would sit in my room back then and start thinking it got worst when I had to shut down my business and that same time, I lost 180k to online scammers (was trying to sell bitcoin through binance). I was like where will I start from? What will I do? I couldn't talk to anyone because it felt shameful and all. I seriously don't how a friend of sensed it then she called me asking what was wrong so I told her.
One of the ways in dealing with mental issues is finding the right person to talk to. This can be the difficult part since the person would have a listening ear, non judgemental attitude, calm voice and a way to make everything seem okay. The bible also recorded some individuals that took their life so ypou can see that it's not something one should joke with. The great Elijah wanted to die and requested God to take his life, Saul died out of shame when he lost a battle and didn't want his enemies to take him as a prisoner, he took his own life.
Let's talk about some warning signs shown by people considering suicide.
Not every really gives out signs of suicidal thoughts, but please if they do, them them seriously.
Most importantly, let them know that God still loves you even if that suition doesn't seem like so.
If they are angry at Him, they should go on their knees and just cry if no words is coming to mind. Trust me, it works big time.
I guess that is all for now. If you might be going through depression and you probably need someone to talk to, I will be happy to talk to you and if you feel you need more help, I heard there are some terapists on instagram so feel free to check them out.
Till next time, I still remain trojan.
keep on buzzing.
