Helpful tips, but that can only help those who have hope

No body actually feels the pains u feel the exact way u feel it so they won't help u... Telling somebody u haven't eaten for more than 3 days may sound like an exaggeration before them, but they don't know u re dying silently... It takes the grace of God to survive depression

Everyday of my life I always have this thought as well, but its never an easy thing to do, life sometimes seems meaningless when no one wants to help u out even in the least manner

How true is this?

I heard there is a suicide Whatsapp group and there is an Admin instructing people on how to take their lives.

If this is true, then Nigeria is really a sh*thole

It’s actually a Facebook group
After working on your subconscious,you will see reasons to commit suicide grin

actually sniper is #400 in my location here.what would you recommend for ladies who are depressed? Alcohol too? undecided seems you didnt see the number 8 point
Depression is a result of impasse which the victim has no solution in their head of how to over often becomes this situation has no immediate solution or the healing process takes quite long. It is a kind of long term sadness, nothing will seem to take your mind out easily.
if can't afford a psychologist, this is what you can do.
1. You must hang around things and people that takes your attention, e. g discussions, playing games, watch the movies you like,
2. have a blackboard(someone that listen to all your complains without getting bored and do not advice you directly)

3. A reinforcer(a person whose job is to ensure you do normal task like eating, feeding, goto work and do things you find attractive).

4. Lastly, the person that would ensure you start tackling the situation realistically either by finding a job or learning how to forget people you have lost. he may need to refer you to a professional if need be.

This person can be one person and the activity you find attractive can be one or two. By weeks you would improve. I am a living witness.

If you are facing depression, instead of drinking Sniper, why not drink Heineken and feel all right?

Sniper is 700 naira, heineken is about 300 naira. Just buy two cans of Heineken.

I tire for Youngsters of these days.
My G you sabi. Currently taking one can of trophy. I do this when I tend to overthink.

Anyone passing through challenging times should always remember that there are better days ahead.Those on top today went through their wilderness journey but didn't give up cos there's always light at the end of the tunnel..Brothers and Sisters never give in to suicidal thoughts..it's just a deceit of the devil.

. Not easy my sister. Nobody will understand, but let us hang on and see how far our mental strength will carry us. Life is wicked and is not fair enough. The same society that claim they would have helped if they had known, are the same people that will stigmatize you when you tell them you problem, which will remotely lead to suicidal thoughts.

op whatever you wrote up there can't work.... lemme share this.. I was/am facing some personal issues /problems, no matter how hard I tried to find a solution,it was just not working .. I lost interest in things that I love, friends, football, my studies, action movies e. t. c. I just wanted to be left alone all the time and whenever I am alone, especially at night, just like a dream I would just find myself in a realm, deep and dark, lost in deep thoughts most times Admiring the dead, death be looking like an interesting solution to all problems... people will never agree to Have money to help you out but when you die, they will bring 20times what you need for your burial arrangement. LIFE.

perfectly said, I have sponsored myself through school to my final year without any genuine help from anyone. just my final year school fees 46,500 I could not raise not to talk of project, I have been running around, uncles aunties, nobody is willing to help out. if I die, they would raise and spend over 15times that amount for my burial .. last last they will do one.
