Meet Nimi, battling suicide and depression but was bold enough ask for help. I thought I should publicize this because most people don't come out for help, thinking that they would be criticized or ostracized. Whats more?!, the love and encouragement she got from Nigerians have been amazing. It goes to show that we might have in one point in our lives or the other, subconsciously or not, been there or been close there.

Suicidal thoughts and depression has become common place in this day and age. More particularly in Nigeria where it has been the norm to always hide these feelings or risk alienation from friends and family and especially those thinking you're trying to contaminate their happiness. Attributive factors of depression and suicidal thought are relative, particularly because people deal with circumstances, pressures and expectations differently. So, if someone is suicidal or is depressed or both, don't turn your back on them but try to encourage them and who knows, you just might be saving a life. Nobody has it all together. Peace!

The responses from Nigerians were indeed heart warming and supportive. The way it should be

She think say na only her...
Being a Nigerian is enough reason to give you depression that'll last a lifetime.
