We all know that the economy is on RED alert but do you think that emotional trauma(things of the heart) relationships contribute to the high rise in suicide these days? Or it's just financially related cases

Death is the only way out

I'll go with poor upbringing.

This indomie generation were not taught anything about principles and responsibility. They were not taught about patience and endurance. All they know is self-satisfaction. Love for themselves and no one else. No belief in a higher purpose, little or no belief in Christianity as a cross-carrying journey, rather they see religion as a get-rich quick scheme or don't believe in it at all.

The current set of parents spoilt thier kids silly in a bid to make their kids enjoy what they didn't. They didn't teach them forbearance.

Now these kids that have no roots are exposed to the world through social media. They see success but don't see the struggle behind it. Even their phone cameras edit the truth of thier images, making them pretty when in reality they are covered in pimples. To them life is a mirage and they can't see a way forward so they end it not regarding the consequences to themselves or those around them.

People who commit suicide are mentally weak, life is too good to kill oneself

some say it's spiritual,

some say it's due to some pressure,

but I think it's due to lack of vision and drive.

people that commit suicide lack da vision to look ahead, and plan for da future.
they feel everything is just for da moment and datz y they decide to take their own lives.

heart break or not, no one should be blamed for da suicide another person committed.

I dey pity them sha, coz na hell fire straight

80% of the nigerian suicide cases I read in the news are relationship related

It's saddening that relationship has to be the leading. Hard times in Nigeria should have taught us to know all nah phase

Spiritual? Big NO!.

I agree with you on others but not totally. For someone who has survived depression severally(the last one was worst menh) it's never intentional, vision helps you to hope for more but at times it's hard to see that vision when depression hits you real good. It got to a time I was fighting suicidal thoughts, I got rid of any possible weapon. I have gotten to terms with what got me depressed months before depression set in. I realised I suppressed it because I needed to be strong to move on and out. That's why it's good to cry. Male female, it's good to cry. Talk to someone, the person might not have the solution but you have spoken out and heard yourself too.

They are not.... trust me on that

So much sense... I will still not totally agree on poor upbringing, though a lot of parents have left their responsibilities to the hand of strangers.

People need to understand that social media is fake, made believe. Nothing is real there.

About being selfish, self centre, I doubt o. One committed suicide because the girl had sex with threatened to release their sex video(To me, this is the act of what will the church/society think of me). Most of these people forget that they are human and the bible no promise a world free of trouble and tribulation but you will overcome all. And be rest assured that God will not allow you carry a cross bigger than you.

I feel pride is also another reason

Prognose:
I'll go with
poor upbringing.

Are you in support of it. Let's hear your opinion. Every opinion in this topic count

Maybe a bit off-topic here but being jobless brings massive depression. My depression heigthens every Sunday evening remembering there's nothing to do and no where to go on Monday. I feel like a complete bum.

Siblings have lost respect for me and so many bulshits ....its crazy. Here in the dark, blackness

I can relate, but you can not be jobless. You don't need to resume an office to have a career. Start freelance marketing, dropshipping, official errand running(I have a friend that helps a company, submit letters, collect cheques and pay them to the company account. And he collects 30k monthly, and he only needs to run these errands 4x a month. Imagine doing it for more than 1 company) all you need for most of these is smart phone and data.

My motto nowadays is I refuse to be pressured.

If your siblings are disrespecting you, it's because they have seen you too much, get friends you can stay over theirs for a week, return stay few weeks home and disappear again. Then another thing is learn to stay your lane and don't trespass theirs. Most times when my elder ones are pucking their nose in my wahala or always acting bossy those days, that's when we remember that they are not ashamed their mates are working and they are here acting all bossy at home.

Stay safe! It's just a phase

Lol. Family members and relatives are not always your friends. Don't expect much from them.

The kind of depression that leads to suicide is not what most of you are describing here. You are referring to sadness/disappointment.

Clinical depression is a mental health challenge. It is not something you can advise anyone to snap out of. It requires medication and professional counselling sessions.

Hope you now see why many of those who eventually commit suicide go ahead despite all the advice and tough love they’ve been receiving. It is not a simple phase that can be overcome by financial success or a beautiful new girlfriend. It is a persistent mental condition.

There is a group, active on twitter called Mentally Aware. Contact them if you think your depression is not just deep sadness.


And please stop saying suicidal people are mentally weak or they have poor upbringing. That cannot be any further from the truth.

One example is Robbin Williams, a rich and successful Hollywood actor. He committed suicide despite having all of the things most of you are praying to get. I also read about a top executive who committed suicide shortly after a trip in his private jet. His business was on the upward trajectory and he had loving family members (as stated in his suicide letter). They still don’t know when he became depressed cos it wasn’t evident at all, at least until they read his suicide note after his demise.

Medical help is the way forward for depression. Do not trivialise it by saying hurtful things to those suffering from it.

If you think you overcame it on your own without help from a psychiatrist or any knowledgeable person, then what you went through was most probably NOT depression. It was just a phase of sadness.

Thanks so much....and just in case there is a need somewhere for the official errand thing, would gladly pick that up

Well I think that's crazy, no family assistance and no connection in naija....hmmmmmm.

I agree with everything you've written but completely disagree where you wrote that what people here are feeling is just 'sadness/disappointment'. Is even being 'sad/disappointed' continuously for years a light thing?

I agree with you 50%.

Depression is not a new illness. It has been with man since the beginning of time. I'm not sure but I think its even hereditary. That notwithstanding there is something that is making this current generation incapable of handling stress to the point that they are willingly taking thier own lives.

I heard that 3 medical students attempted suicide last night following the release of their MBBS results. One succeeded , the other is being resuscitated and the third has not been found as we speak.


Something VERY wrong is happening.
