May you never suffer what some of these people suffer because then you will understand that the struggle goes beyond finding a solution to external challenges. Do you think Robin Williams didn't overcome all the external challenges that came his way? Yet he faced a battle you will never understand if you don't suffer from the same or similar ailment. An ailment where you own body is fighting you every step of the way and not even in a way you can properly articulate to someone who is not suffering it.

I repeat, may you never suffer it.

Omorr, e no easy. I can remember when I battled chronic depression. I go a whole week with 2hrs sleep per day. Home alone, no one to talk to. I was an introvert then. Luckily, I met with my new squad, them tear eyes, get voltage. That was how I faced my fears, put fingers into elders eyes wey stress me, Dem dey fear me now.
This was 7years ago. I felt suicidal severally, was manipulated by MOGs, stopped going to church. I want to beat one elder as my new year resolution.
Omorr, don't keep quiet for anybody 📌💯, speak up. If Dem pressure you, pressure them 🙌👌.

He will definitely come back to face similar issues. Until he solves the problem. His soul wont evolve. He’ll keep coming back to this earth

maasoap:
What are you ranting about, Mr? Why are you so enraged, yet lacking sympathy? Which one really concern you in all these?
He left message for his family, how did that become your burden because I don't understand? Oga go and rest

dederocs:
If Africans love themselves and are communal, why so much political criminality, why so much embezzlement, why allow the poor workers suffer so much...stress of money can lead to self destructive acts. If we are good and care for one another, it will show in our nation, in equity and justice, welfare for the poor etc.

What I see is eye service and hypocrisy.

Babalegba:
You don't have a clue,do you. How old are you really. Depression affects the brain directly and therefore the thinking process.
Somebody could lose all his wealth and family and still plug on because the cogitation apparatus is still intact but a man with family support and wealth could be a goner because of depression. When this is understood then workable plans could be implemented to help the victim.

I once shared the same opinion, until I had the opportunity to live and work with people suffering from depression. Depression is not something you wish away, it is a brain disease and unfortunately if not handled properly will always lead to disastrous end.

Aside that, let me use your own logic - according to you "suicide is a selfish act..." So does guilting someone, who has taken stock of their own lives and come to the conclusion (I agree that it could be an erroneous conclusion) that there is nothing left for them. Isn't it selfish to force someone to live with such a mental agony for your own glorification? Let us not even go into the selfish act that surrounds the decision that brought the person into this world in the first place I would rather not tow the path of "selfishness" when describing the act of suicide, I would rather show more empathy for the victims and give hope to those in similar situation.

I would like to point out, that anyone suffering from depression or that have persistent suicidal thoughts, should seek professional help. It can be managed and you can once again live a fulfilled and pain free life.

It's d same reason I try to help most of my friends, even if u call me 100 times, I go stil try send u something, because I've been there

Fearlez:

May his soul rest in peace

LeeSmart:
This thing still dey baffle me oo, how person go just wakeup one morning and then decide to kpai his/her self? With the way dis life sweet so, he didn't even consider the emotional pain he'd be putting his friends and family members through. Rip anyways

Double0h7:
That’s the euphoria people experience once they have decided to end their lives. They’ve finally found a solution to the pain and suffering that they feel. Depression is… I feel so bad for his family and loved ones.

Keep believing everything you read online. Na una type dey keep Nairaland alive.

If NL dies, where else will we meet to insult each other in peace?

Twitter, abi na X, abi?

Tenrack:
correct guy. Which book be tha?

Hhh4444:
I laugh at those calling this guy weak for committing suicide. It takes so much courage to take ones own life.
Life is a game you can't win...the starting point and ending is same for everyone. We all start from birth and end with death. No matter what happens in between birth and death, it doesn't really make any difference.what is keeping many people alive is the lack of courage to exit themselves from this meaningless game called life. If we could renew life duration like we renew our drivers licence,I am sure many people would not want to renew theirs.

SixSeven:
I agree with your last lines. I see you have a good understanding of the topic. I have responded to some of your comments in other posts here. All the same, please seek professional help. However, remember that the world itself is complex and as I post, one person is being buried while another person is coming to this earth, we take turns.

One thing I have learned from my experience with this people too is that it's all in their head. The mind is the most powerful thing you have. Once it's messed up, you are messed up for life. God protect you and your loved ones from messed up minds. Amen.

Thank you.

SeriouslySense:
It could be due to a loss of valuing our existence.

For me when I feel down I always know the secret to feel better 100 percent . I play with the earth and animals.

I dont take anything seriously, I just go back to the Most simple under rated things.

Plus I think it has a spiritual aspect to it. The forces of hell want to destroy our souls, they whisper how we are not worth existing.

So we need to pray to God, to give us strength.

Phraences:
I am always praying for God to blow the trumpet quickly. I will take Jesus coming over a billion dollars. This life is a stress.

Biodun1929:
In the end, the friends will forget about him and move on...but he is free now...free from the depression and all he was going through. If you dont want to be here anymore why he here and be miserable? If you feel his death will affect people, there will always be something that will make people sad in this world. But sadness is not permanent.
