I think you should try and reach out and ask what's wrong. No harm done. Approach the matter delicately though

You have to ask him why he post that kind of message jokely at first, I know you would probably get your answers.. and the seocnd time you ask him make sure that he is relaxing and ask him eye ball to eye ball seriously and you will get your answers..

Pls call the attention of anyone who can talk to him if u can't do that, the young man is depressed.

Depression is the earliest,and it ain't a pleasant experience at all.

You are probably too young to handle this. You need to call the attention people who are old enough to reach out and help him. He is tacitly asking for help.

I have a tunnel visioned opinion. If you know his habits i.e drinking etc, boldly ask him out to a nice joint, fire him a few drinks with edibles, then talk to him. Trust me, if he's in that line, he'll listen to you and appreciate. Otherwise, I can't think of anything else, my wisdom is limited.

If the school has a Psychologist, a Counselor, or a Chaplain, you could involve that person and have them reach out to him. Or tell one or two kind, senior lecturers and have them take it up.

Many are going through a lot emotionally

Do well to call a friend, let them know you care.

Depression is real

Depression is real. Many are dying slowly especially under this monumental disaster we have as President. Try to reach out to him or talk to any of his close lecturer friends.

This your "Lectural" no really well ooo

Your lecturer?
Ok oooo

just buy action bitters and give to him to drink, and he'll be alright

U can reply his status with a
"Truly nothing is in this world"

This can give him a sense of belonging and comfortable.
From there you can kickoff the conversation and at the end if you are very good at psychological matters you can get him to spill the beans..

You can make him feel you are passing through alot to but you are not willing to give up. He will be conjure to say what's eating him

Remember how do you comfort someone if you haven't felt their pain

The "lectural" got me thinking what the future of Nigeria would be.

Lectural

Thought am but am ...

Like lecturer; like student.


That baba is depressed

Go to his office in private

Try and reach out to the "Lectural"

Please try and reach out to him...


Depression is very real and it's usually like longing for someone to hear you out but none could offer a listening ear.


You feel like you're drowning!


You make others happy and tends to smile the most but deep down in you you're just decaying with sadness.



It's a terrible experience.

Please try to get him talking to you who knows you can be the hand that will stop him from drowning

illicit:

ManOfCompetence:

Prechgold1180:

Ok would try hope this won’t affect me
What if gets angry
My result�

Book an appointment to see him.
Let him know your thought about him.
whether he agree or disagree, get his family/friend involve if you can.
Last resort is to involve the school hospital doctor. They know what to do.

If he's an authoritarian as you claim, then, it might be hard and unwise reaching out to him directly. Is there no other lecturer he's close to? .

There should be one or two lectures he's close to. Reach out to those folks, and tell let em' know your observations as regards your lecturer, they'd comfortably take it from there.

Jokingly?

Op, don't listen to this idiot.

Depression is not something to joke with.

If you know you have no experience helping people with mental health issues, involve someone who is.

Well you having your lecturer's number and been able to see his status proves that they is a little respect between u guys

Are you a male or a female... I for say make you mind your business, but you see an opportunity you want to take advantage of, so weight the cost and benefit of what you are getting into.
