It's not a news any more that the world is experiencing hard time. Every country in the world is either battling with economy hardship, insecurity, war, sickness global warming and many more. The war in Ukraine as been on for over two years. kidnapping in Nigeria is on the increase, constant inflation on commodity cost is becoming worrisome. All this as affected mental health of many. This as lead to depression among young and old. The rate of drug abuse is in constant increase among youth and adult. people engage in drug abuse because of depression. Drug abuse can never give you solution to depression. It will only make things worst. The rate of suicide is constantly increasing, The rate of divorce is high , unemployment rate is going high. The rich are plugging into poverty.
Depression is real don't let anyone fool you, i have also experience depression. I almost committed suicide, no one was there to help me out. When i was about to commit suicide i remember my son. The love i have for him reflect in my heart. Deep inside me i asked myself a critical question. if i commit suicide who will take care of my son? The honest truth is that no one can take good care of my son the way i will do. In Europe and America there is child support. But in Nigeria you are absolutely responsible for your child upkeep. Things was very hard for me and my family . We dont have food to eat, business is bad. I can't even pay my utility bill. no one is willing to support me and my family. This critical question made me abort the mission of suicide.
I dont think anyone should commit suicide because there is something for you to live for. Last year i was financially down no body to support me and my son i was left lonely sad and unhappy during this period. I did learn great thing about overcoming hard time because it lead to depression.
The first thing i did was to choose to stay happy. I choose not to allow my present situation determine my happiness. Depression can only get hold of you of you allow your present or past situation take over you. Dont let your situation determine your mood. I constantly look at the future, having faith in God. I know all will be well. I am a work in progress depression can't hold me down.
All what depression does is to kill your dream, make you think less of yourself. You dont need to be myopia about your vision , idea and future. Life is full of challenges but the strong man and woman last.
I discovered that circle of friends can either give depression the fuel to drive or kill depression. I determine to choose my friend not my friend chosing me . This year i choice not to allow negative vibes, Depression is nothing but negative vibes. Its negative vibes you listen to that give room for depression.
Stay away from complain because its the mother of depression. There won't be depression without complain. You need to stay wise and stay ahead. Learn to stay away from toxic environment and relationship, anything that is toxic kills. Lastly don't let what people say to determine who you her. You are the best, you are number one. Pleas note that no one can motivate you expect you motivate yourself.
