DEPRESSION IS NOT A JOKE !!!

A problem shared is a problem halved…

A closed mouth is a closed destiny; which means never cease to share your worries with trusted ears, you never can tell where your solution would come from…

Depression is a big word and a very deadly sickness. I’d say it’s a deadly disease that kills faster than Virus, depression is not only a big word but also a very big problem, and could even lead to unimaginable results if care is not taken or if solutions are not provided on time, i have heard and witnessed a lot of cases and scenarios where depressed victims commit suicide as a result of no hope or solution to their problems…

Hmmmm, this is not a sigh of relief but rather a sigh of i have seen a lot of things depression has done to so many people out there, the craziest part is that even the ones we see smiling everyday at us whenever we pass by or have any encounter with out there might be suffering from depression inside, but because they don’t want the world to see it boldly written on their faces, they result to hiding it under false laughter and happiness…

When it comes to depression, i have never for once taken depressed victims for granted, especially when i know the victim both in and out and suddenly he or she starts acting like the world has crumbled or ended for them, i immediately rush up to them and force them to open up, at least sharing it with someone could lead to a possible result…

There is a saying that goes like this, a problem shared is a problem solved, if not totally solved, there is a big chance of finding an alternative solution to that problem or rather we take it to God in prayers…

Out of all of the problems and challenges i have faced in life, battling depression is the least of it all, this means i have never been an all time victim of depression but there was a time i battled with a slight depression for a while but with sharing my problems and talking to my parents and loved ones about it, solutions was provided after a while and it was accompanied with prayers, that was how I overcame my depression at that point in time…

We are all humans, problems and challenges that are beyond our power and strength are bound to occur, but with God and the right people in our life solution is bound to surface…

Without wasting too much on my introduction to the topic, let me quickly take you on a journey into the slight depression i faced some time back, take a chill pill and relax as i take you on this short journey;…

  MY BATTLE AGAINST DEPRESSION…

Yes, i have indeed battle with depression but mine wasn’t a severe depression, it was a slight depression because i am a strong believer of God and i am also very close to my families, whenever i am going through a lot i run to God and then to them and with time it gets solved…

Some time ago, i mean this was years back, i was just a young high school graduate with so many needs and wants, i had numerous needs at that time and didn’t have a stable job to settle everything I needed, at that time my friends whom i graduated high school with were all doing fine and great, they were dripping here and there, using big phones, the only thing i had was my phone to view their status to see how fine they are all living…

Shortly after i heard some of them even gained admission into tertiary institutions already and i on the other hand didn’t even enough for the examination not to talk more of paying my tuition fees…

Things started getting harder and harder each day as i kept on hearing news of my pairs gaining admission into tertiary institutions, the most depressing aspect is the fact that being one of the top 3 most brilliant students in my school didn’t mean anything in life after i graduated high school…

Slowly depression started settling in and i was thinking so deeply about it, sometimes i cry to God In secret, sometimes i am always long gone when on my phone, i just kept on thinking about lots of things, all these lasted until one day when i decided to share my depression with my family…

Talking to my mum was the best decision i made that year, she called me and sat me down, she explained the whole of life to me that i left her presence that feeling motivated and inspired of never give up…

I talked to my parent and then went to my God and also shared it with him, after then things started getting better, no admission yet but the expensive needs I couldn’t afford then are all things i can afford now and that too in a legal means…

In summary, i am much more better now, my mothers words and the words of God have beeb my pillar till now, and as a faithful Christian i have decided to hold on to my faith in God until the right moment…

In conclusion, I was able to overcome this depression because I opened up to people, my families and friends were there to pull my in my weakest moment, i learnt to never close my mouth whenever i am depressed again and also sharing my problems with other ears stand a chance of getting faster solutions…

Always share your worries and problems with that one person you know gat your back always, if you don’t have any, then talk to blood ties and also take it to God in prayer, everything is gonna work out well and fine at last…
