Kobojunkie:
Only those with faulty mood regulation of the brain can boast of such.

Ok. Probably not never.

SeaTrade:
Do not dismiss/mock a struggle you know nothing about.
Even some top CEOs and captains of industries go through this ,I guess they are losers too.
Let me paint it to you clear,most times it is people with huge drive,aspirations,dreams and ambition that go through this because they fear what they envisage might not come to pass or something might go wrong at the end of the day,
It is people who are shallow and have so little to offer that aren't depressed at all because those little things you call fun is what they live for and can be gotten easily.
Be guided.

You don't cut off your nose to spite your face. According to you "It is people who are shallow and have so little to offer that aren't depressed at all because those little things you call fun is what they live for and can be gotten easily." That is one of the most absurd things I have read; it's big misinformation.

Gumption and grit have nothing in common with depression - it might have everything to do with greed, overconfidence, and failure, however.

Well,I have to agree with you,you hit the nail on the head.

If you're sad, depressed and lonely it's because you choose to wallow in your comfort zone waiting for pity party to come over and listen to your sad tales or researching on antidepressants to ease your pain.

Try sleeping for 8 hours
Walking in the Sun
Doing exercises to make you sweat (gym)
Eating steak i.e plenty of meat.
And bathing cold water.

If you're a man experiencing depression that's a cue your testosterone is utterly low but pills won't pick it up for you. Life suck from time to time and that's normal for a man, you would be in a Disney movie to expect life to be fair to you all your life.

Also, if you drink alcohol and smoke (cigarettes or marijuana) they'll be doing you more harm than good in fogging up your brain with unreal visions of what your life should be like while posing as short term solutions to the main problem.

Trash this pity party mentality in seeking for help from sadness, depression and loneliness you feel in the absence of enjoyment, financial abundance or rejection from a partner and toughen up your mind to withstand these situations while looking for solutions to your problems.

Remember, tough times don't last, only tough men do.

The bulk of the comments here are borne out of ignorance of how the human mind works.

Although the topic explicitly reads that the thread is for people going through depression, a lot of you have resulted to making unwarranted comments on a subject you know nothing about, just so you could feel good about your pathetic and mediocre lives.

You lunkheaded fools!

Depression is a mental illness. There are biological, chemical and psychological intricacies that play into its complexity. It's not a matter of being tough.

Are you tougher than Tyson Fury who fell into depression and almost committed suicide just after winning the Heavyweight boxing title? Are you more accomplished than Elvis Presley who drugged himself to death because he wanted to drawn the emotional pain that comes with fame?

You average bloks who have never smelled or possibly imagined the hemisphere of what a meaningful life tastes like feel you can spill hogwash over something you know nothing you know about.

If you weren't poverty stricken, you'd realise that money doesn't bring fulfilment.

If you weren't poorly educated, you'd realise that you can be surrounded with a lot of people and still feel lonely. Ask Justin Bieber.

Adolf Merckle was a billionaire who committed suicide in 2009 after the financial crackdown that plagued the world in 2008. He lost a bulk of his wealth and soon fell into depression and he refused to speak about it. If he had opened up to someone about his pain, he possibly would have still been alive today and contribute more to the world.

A lot of you have average dreams. Hence, you never get to experience catastrophic disappointments that leaves you shattered. That's why you're here mocking and spitting on a serious issue that has taken the lives of millions.

I created this thread so I and others who are trained in the subject could offer help to people who may be hurting.

Unfortunately, I fear that you dumbbells might have derailed the purpose.

Mayyvin:
This is a thread for people who are currently going through a rough patch and just wants to unburden, share their struggles and possibly get the encouragement to go on.

There's a refreshing feeling when you know you're not alone and there are people who can identify with your struggles. This is exactly what this thread is created for.

There's no benchmark for pain. Hence, making fun of people's problems or undermining their struggles is not allowed.

You're welcome to share whatever it is you're going through.

I really wish I could share what I'm going through here.. Just that some demonic nairalanders will make you more depressed with their silly comments.. Let's just believe and be hopeful that there's light at the end of the tunnel.. Shallom

I find that a lot of Nairaland members hate their lives. Many are just plain frustrated. Hence, a platform like Nairaland that offers anonymity to share your thoughts becomes an outlet for these unfortunate lots to expel their frustrations. Regardless, there are still sensible people here.

I wish you all the best Sanmel.

Yeah.. Thanks

Depression is real
I battled with it for 4 months till I opened up one night..
I am someone that doesn't cry no matter what happens...

I broke down that night screaming my lungs out at 2am midnight that I wanted to end everything...I was contemplating suicide,it was the toughest days of my life and I would just laugh whenever I am with family but deep down I was sad. Everything was working against me then.

Thank God I spoke up....

I am starting a fresh

I can never ever contemplate suicide after I was introduced to this asun and beer joint in my area

Ok....so I honestly do not understand depression or how people allow that to happen to them. How in the world would you sit and over think things to the point where you couldn't find your way back to happiness and free spirit? This life is simple. This life has no meaning all by itself except for the ones we give it. You either take what you are given or just give yourself what you want. Life, birth,happiness,death, wealth, health, etc are just parts of life we must live with...once we come to terms with that then fear will have no place in our lives. We all have life and death in common, so choose how you take it wisely....hian, please loosen up and live your life. Good luck people....just grab yourself some tons of happiness and laugh your hearts out

Seems like majority here think depression is only one major issue. Many types of depression abound. As long as you are a human, you have passed through depression multiple times.
We tend to downplay it exactly the way we downplay mental illness in Nigeria until we see someone mad on the street.

Religion also help downplay depression cos they always give the picture of all is OK to those who believe. Just believe and wish it away.

Symptom of depression are fatigue, insomnia and crankiness. We can add headache, body pains, abdominal pains and constipation. So many. Be the judge.


All Nigerian graduates pass through depression, Nigerian students in tertiary schools, job seekers, those sacked, what am I saying. For the fact that yu are sick and couldn't get access to quality health care adds depression to your sickness.

What about pineapple?

Life isn't the same for everybody. Emotions too aren't the same

If you're suicidal then you'd need to consider getting professional help. Please don't take your life, things will get better.
