Depression rate is on a sharp rise following the decline in outdoor activities in this part of the world. People stay glued to their phones all day nowadays. So many young people you see out there are just buying time. Forget about the fake smiles, most of them are worn out psychologically.

Please learn to say hello and ask people around you how they are doing. Engage them in brief warm chats. Indeed, in the midst of multitude, many are actually lonely.

Please reach out to as many young as you can in your immediate environment. smiley

So true, and describes my present situation. Sometimes you badly need to talk with someone, who sees through you right to your soul but can't find one when you want. Depression is a bad thing , I pray never to consider suicide as an option, may my case not get to that stage.

Depression could take its toll on you if you didn't arrest it on time. Do you have people around you with whom you enjoy close warm chats and discussions? This could help a great deal.

That's the thing,I don't . Recently just came back from a two weeks trip because I needed change of environment\location and felt a bit better those period. But now bck to my old self again. Mostly by my fone,jus to relieve myself. I hv friends tho a handful but not all you can alway be able to talk to and not all Would have ur time. Talk about been alone and lonely cry
I want to invest time in reading books now,if I can train my mind on it and not have my thots wander away. I would love to read the book that was mentioned here too

Resorting to reading books alone could actually drive you farther away from reality and deepen your depression. Too much reading detaches one away from everyday life. You would become a solitary figure. As for me, I am an avid reader. This nearly drove me into serious loneliness and separated me from real life activities with family and friends. But after I while I started fighting it by engaging in outdoor activities. I enjoy a lot of games outdoors. In fact once I hear the sound of football when I get home in the evening, I immediately go locate the place and join them in the game. grin This is how I stay happy and connected to people in my environment.

Outdoor recreational activity is the most effective cure to depression and loneliness. You would erroneously think that being in a love relationship would solve it. No it wouldn't. You should also learn to visit people. Discuss and spend good time with them. smiley Once in a while I go swimming just to break away from everyday routine. It refreshes my body, soul and mind. wink

Hanging onto your phone all day can damage you emotionally. You may no longer be able to cope with, manage properly and enjoy face to face rapport. That's why some people are always impatient; they want to go home, they want to be left alone for no real reasons.

Love life is zero, in fact I won't go there for now, lol. The visiting aspect, I don't really have much people around me I can visit else I would feel better, also not all are on the same page as I am. If I can't read like you said, I can read my Bible sha abi?

Happy Sunday

Of course the Bible is the greatest Book of hope known to mankind. smiley I wake up and sleep with mine. wink

You could also take up a volunteer role in church if you've got the time. I am a church dude. wink Active participation in church running and administration is magical. It's undiluted antidepressant. smiley Very effective. It's one cheap source of lasting joy. In addition it teaches you friendliness and warmth, and even how to stoop low to people of little standing (class). Today I can relate to all classes of people, all thanks to youth fellowship and church management.

The friends that have remained in my life today, I met them in church. My best friends from school are gone with the wind. cheesy

Lastly, try to make a few jokes when with people. Smile too. People would naturally avoid you when your looks aren't warm enough. I changed this about myself over time. Growing up, nobody would dare come close unless you had something very important to tell me. grin But today, it's considerably different. Not perfect, but far better and more friendly. wink I could start a conversation with just anybody, male or female. No more dulling. Life is beautiful if you want it so.

Have a lovely week! smiley

Please, here's one more person begging you to hang on, we're not giving up on YOU..
I'm very sure that in your own way you're special, and the world needs you for something, heck! There might even be someone who looks up to you.
Please hang in there..
Plus, you can speak with someone who can get back in touch with reality and walk with you through this period..and you don't have to pay anything.
Please, just check this website and book a session:
http://jacknjillive.com/therapy/
I'll be glad to hear that you did and you've bounced back!
Cheers!

Depression is not a play, there is something that caused it, patients should always work on things that depress them. I learnt that major cause of depression is inability to balance spiritual visions and reality.

Depression has been in africa but we belief its a taboo hardly do we think of it. But now nija full for social media, oyibo things all photocopied

Thanks to GOD for lengthening your days! You've got something the world yearns for. Heaven couldn't let you go so early without impacting your generation to the fullest. Get involved in volunteer work. It heals one of depression. Church involvement especially does the magic.

Stay alive, you mean a lot to someone somewhere.

I'm use to depression when I'm broke or in an emotional situation or when my age mate achievement got to my mum of which I'm yet to make an impact.

Now, I'm even highly depressed due to past failed projects I never succeeded on.

I have think over it for 3 months now, suicide seems not to be the solution. I'm the one still providing for my mum, also being the first born. I'm yet to get a degree. The economy isn't helping in my situation.


I'm mostly depressed in the morning which is unbearable.

Please don't. Sometimes, I don't have the mental strenght over mine. I just cry like a new born baby. Loss of apetite is another worry. I just don't want to die for the sake of love ones. May God Almighty help us.

Same here with me,I hardly eat these days,I've lost weight and looks so malnourished, why should I keep eating in my parents house when I know what my mates are doing for good?

It will all be in the past as someone rightly said. Time heals but mine was just too painful. I've never thought I will be in such situation.
