Let's kick out depression together

I read a touching suicide story just before midnight last night and i was moved to write this piece😔

People who commit suicide see it as a way of escape from all their troubles and frustration. Don't be moved by societal/peer pressure because you have to be your own happiness. Don't allow anyone put you under unnecessary pressure or anger you so much that you lose it. React and let it slide!

Most people who take pictures of a  luxurious life fake it. They take pictures in a friend's big office, big car, borrow a bag and clothes just to make you feel less of your self. Well, others don't actually fake it but they want to make you feel they have arrived while you still have a long list of struggles.
Such folks have no business being your friends on social media. Remove them if necessary and if what you see puts bad ideas into your head. Do anything to retain your peace while you remain focused and trust the ever faithful God for the benefits that comes with hard work.

Whatever you can not afford now, you will be able to afford very soon. So if you can't afford a car, make do with Uber/Taxify or d BRT. E still go chill! It will still take you to your destination. If you cannot afford a 3-course-meal/buffet, or an expensive restaurant, please visit Iya Basira and load your tummy in peace. You go still belleful! And some mama put make nice meals too you know? Not all of them are dirty, some are decent actually.
If you cannot afford to go to a University, choose Poly or College of education. All na still education!  It all depends on how you maximize the knowledge gotten mixed with your skills too. If you cannot afford a big apartment on the Island or one of the choicest area for now, abeg go manage one room selfcon in Ikorodu or cheap areas. You still get shelter over your head na!
If you are moved by d Benz' and luxury cars you see around and you have a "tuke tuke", please drive it in peace and be happy. Na still 4 legs and e go still carry u reach where u dey go! Everything happens with time. There will always be cars for you to buy when the time comes.

If you are still single, don't let the married ones or pressure from folks deter you from enjoying your single hood. After all, marriage is over rated✌🏽. My point about marriage being overrated is "our society has made marriage seem the most worthy achievement especially for the female folks". When you don't see marriage as a do or die affair, it doesn't bother you too much. Marriage is another world entirely and if you ain't prepared, it can be so overwhelming. So don't put pressure on yourself dearie, it's not worth it!

Never let what you see here and there wreck your thoughts and put you on the brink. Everybody you know might be balling now, please be patient because you would also ball when it's your time and it would fit you perfectly.

Depression is a virus in the air now a days  and its sad that some supposed loved ones of the victims of depression are insensitive to their needs. Depression comes as a result of pressure, stress, emotional issues, frustration and unpleasant situation that gets so overwhelming that it seems out of control. It is a state of mind producing serious, long-term lowering of enjoyment of life or inability to visualize a happy future. And it accumulates over time. When we learn to be contented with life and see a happy and fulfilling tomorrow, depression's effect will be kicked out completely.

If we as individuals also just learn to say " I love you " more often, look out for people who are going through difficult times, talk in love (with no intension to provoke the other) and lend a helping hand to someone in our little way, we will send this demon of depression that attacks bright and promising youths away.

Suicide is never an option my love! The life is not yours, its God's. If He wants you dead, He would have taken your breathe. When there's life there's hope💪🏾. Talk to someone, don't die in silence. If you can't find anyone, talk to me, I'll personally be so glad to help in anyway. Remember that a problem shared is a problem half solved.
Know that suicide doesn't take away the pain, it gives it to someone else.

Think about your loved ones when you feel like taking your life please. They will always live with that hurt if you do it and that will shattered their hearts.  Please speak out, please speak to someone!
Let's together kick out DEPRESSION!
