You're suffering from Chronic Depression. My advice: Read books of positive thinking ( Motivational Books) or Read the Bible if you're a Christian. Thank you!

U need God this time.

you sure can beat depression to the game cause you are the master of the and not depression.
you were defeated at some point but gave in to such defeat other than coming back strong. it's time get back into the game and come out victorious.
first forgive YOURSELF of whatever it is YOU think brought YOU down.
but still you have to share that thing.

Can you think of *anything* that could make you happy?

"Yesterday is not ours to recover, but tomorrow is ours to win or lose ". Before we know the kind of advice to dish out to you, we need to know the main cause of your depression.
But all in all, suicide is not an option. keep on fighting, bro. I believe someday, you will be victorious.

bro,just nothing.

bro,just nothing.

Edit: I've pm'ed you.
Please note: all I intend to do is point you in the right direction if I can. I may be able to do that, but please expect nothing more.

@OP Why have you been suffering unnecessary of depression at this present time, when medicine and therapy have been provided almost for free that guarantees 100% cure. What most persons don't know is that depression is a health issue that can be treated.
OP I understand clearly what you are going through, I had same 2018 after l lost my younger brother to cancer and in a space of 2 months I also lost a child. Life ended for me. I gave up completely on life, I never believed I will ever be happy again, I experience weakness of the body, sleepless, mine was so severe I could not sleep for close to a month. Sometimes I feel dizzy always sudden. I spent money meeting various specialists, tests were conducted and nothing was found to be wrong with me (I didn't know I was depressed).
God saved me when a friend of mine, a doctor in Alabama talked to me and he diagnosed me of depression. He immediately directed me to go to any psychiatric clinic close to me, at first I was reluctant, thinking of the stigmatization attached to those that visit psychiatric. I went and I was diagnosed of depression, a drug was prescribed, tests were conducted and within a week, I bounced back to life better than my previous self. In fact the therapy helped me a lot, now nothing in life can ever bring me down.
NB:
I would have prescribed the drugs, but it should be taken under the supervision of a doctor whom you are to visit periodically to assess your improvements, secondly they are regulated drugs sold with prescription.
I wrote this openly, because I want other persons also fighting depression to learn from it. It is treatable, with medicine and therapy. The day you make that bold step to visit a psychiatrist, is the day you start getting better, trust me.

@OP and other person's suffering from depression, contact me privately for further information and inquiry
Disclaimer: I request for no payment, no charges, no sale of e-books, everything is free.
I have been wanting to start a support group for depressed person's with the psychiatrist that treated me then, who is now my friend. Anybody interested in volunteering to help, take note selfless service, should contact me privately too

The interesting part is that with 5k you can start your treatment, depending on the location anyway. Bottom line is, it is not expensive, especially if you visit a govt owned institution and buy your drug from them, it is cheaper than getting it outside

Thank you brother..I will start as soon as possible..sincerely u have just saved a soul from suicide.God bless you

What you are dealing with is clinical depression. Like someone suggested earlier, you need to go see a psychiatrist and note there is nothing to be ashamed of about it. Medication would be prescribed, make sure there is high adherence. Then you need to sign up for a weekly talk therapy sessions with a counseling psychologist, one hour every week.

When treating mental health issues, the Biopsychosocial model of intervention is being advocated. The bio element involves the psychiatrist who diagnoses and prescribes medication then with the psycho element, the therapist helps you to be open and verbally communicate what you are experiencing and help you process it to achieve insight and restructuring and finally, the social component which involves your family, friends, colleagues etc because it makes no sense to be taking your medication, attending therapy sessions only to go back home to people whose actions are triggers to your condition, that is why you see persons who have been discharged from a rehabilitation center easily relapse when they find themselves in an environment that is an enabler of their drug of choice.

My insight is from my working in a psychiatric hospital, depression is manageable when clinically diagnosed and appropriate treatment plan followed.

Nice one Votewisely2019!
@ op Take his/her advise and am sure you will see remarkable improvement soon.

Votewisely2019, Can you create a support network to help people living with depression?
A whole lot of Nigerians are experiencing the same symptoms the Op is going through but are unable to diagnose it as depression, neither are they aware of the mode of treatment nor where to go for such treatment.
Without treatment their situations detoriate to the level where suicide becomes the only option they have.
The government are less concerned about the growing number of suicidal cases most often caused by untreated depression.
Individuals can join hands and build an accessible support system for those who are depressed and going through psychological trauma, because Our wellbeing lies in our hands not in any government.
