I don't know how to react to this.
I used to be very depressive and at those periods, no one, nothing about this life seemed worth living. I had lost hope to be successful, all I saw was a continuous life of struggles.
I had a good job, i had people who loved me but I was just in a dark mental and emotional space.
I went from from having a very promising future to a bleak future, compounded by loss of a very lucrative job and the frustrations of Nigeria's labour market for a 2.2 graduate in his late 20s.
I would get so depressed and break up any relationship I was as I just needed to be alone. I even got myself in a double-dating situation and broke it off with both about the same time. Another time I slept with a stripper unprotected and put my self at sexual risks just because I didn't care anymore. I was living recklessly, drinking just to survive everyday of life.

Through it all, the only thought that kept me from commuting suicide was the thought of my mom. I hated the idea of her losing 1 of her only 2 children.
I decided I would try to stay alive for her. Every depressed person needs to know that their life matter to someone and their death would hurt someone so much. They shouldn't be thinking of themselves alone.

I eventually got myself in deeper mess and found myself dating a married woman. But in all these I was living in the fear of eventually dying one way or another. If the alcohol didn't give me kidney disease, the adultery would when I got caught or I would get some STD and my misery would end.
Honestly I was just so lost and being a danger to myself and others.
Yet on the surface you could never tell all these was going on. Only very few close colleagues knew something was wrong. Most people saw a good, gentle, guy on the surface.
That's why I don't ever judge anything or anyone on the surface. People are going through things behind the facade and fake social media lifestyle.

My life really started to take a shape when I decided to go and know Jesus late 2017. It was that simple.
2018 was my year of so much trials and victories.
I dropped drinking, dropped sex and masturbation,, dropped major habits that seemed impossible to stop.
Out of Love for God.
When you truly start knowing God, there's no way you won't fall love with Him.
You will willingly start sacrificing your former pleasures for more of His Love, Intimacy and Knowledge and in the name of what He's calling you into.

I really didn't go to church for miracles, I had given up and settled for my struggling life except maybe if he can help, why not. I just wanted to know who Jesus Christ is. I wanted to understand why some people believed in Him so much. I wanted to experience Him personally. And truly, I began to encounter Him and He humbled me.

So is depression real? Certainly yes.
Is suicide the answer? Certainly no.
Do I judge suicide victims? Who am I to judge anyone?
But is there a better option than suicide? Far better.
It's not only God that is the answer.
In my case, I resorted to drinking, others resort to drugs (prescriptions or abuse), some resort to rehab, some even resort to burying themselves in long hour jobs so they won't face their problems, etc.
But I can confirm categorically that Jesus is the best Solution.
May the Grace, Peace and Joy of the LORD locate and fill every depressed heart and give us all hope again in Jesus name.
Amen.
