O GA o
Last year, I was so close to taking my life..
I think the thread is still here somewhere..
There is this particular nairalander in portharcourt that reached out to me.. Said he stocked his shop for December and everything got burnt or looted, I can't remember right now.. He promised he was gonna send me something to feed..
Like 2-4 people promised same.. It was those promises that I held on to even though it never came through but it delayed that suicide attempt..
When I look back today, I regret ever wanting to take my life looking at how bright and promising the future is...
I am happy I created that thread cos sincerely, I already tied a rope to the ceiling fan with a stool beneath it.
Something just told me"why don't you just tell nairalanders what you passing through?
Help came later from nairaland and places I least expected...
Depression kills when you let it overwhelm you..
LET'S ASSUME BEING DEPRESSED PEAKS AT 100%, WHEN YOU FEEL 1%, PLS TALK TO SOMEONE ASAP...

SEE AS FINE BOY JUST WASTE..

"The noise got too loud,but now the noise can go
down"...... whatever gives people the impression that life on the other side is better than life here?......how sure was he that the noise was going to actually go down?........if you are among those battling depression,death should absolutely not be one of your options because of the following reasons.....
(1) you have no idea what those on the other sides is passing through,they may be ready to offer anything just to have a piece of that life that you think is not worth living

(2)...the stigma of suicide will always hurt your family for the rest of their lives as the entire society sees it as an abomination.etc

"The noise got too loud, but now the noise can stop"

That statement was deep coming from him. To even think he battled depression for 7 years while carrying out his daily activities makes me believe depression got no particular symptom to get people's attention to you.

You can look and appear like the happiest person alive in the public, social media or gathering, whereas you are mentally struggling and battling a lot.

You can battle it for 10 years without even knowing you are battling depression because you'll have to nurture your system on how to cope and endure overthinking, unrest and no peace of mind. All these will be endured without speaking to anyone because you've gotten use to it and feel it's normal until it hits you to the point you can't endure anymore which normally leads to suicidal thoughts.

Please learn to speak up when you start loosing your sanity and peace of mind.

Sad.

Suicide is never the answer.

The other side is not quiet and peaceful for everyone. It's a continuation of this one, always remember this. Actions on this side translate to the other side in death.

*I know this by books and tales from peoples visions and experiences over time.

“The noise got too loud, but now the noise can stop"

Now that you have committed suicide. Little did you know the noise just started at the great beyond. Suicide is not an option. Stay away from suicide.

I battled depression for ten years. My mom would always tell me, “ anytime you feel like killing yourself, just know that it’s the devil talking to you “. She stood by me and encouraged me everyday.

Today I’m thankful. I have overcome through Christ Jesus.

Depression is a terrible mental illness where it is almost impossible to think outside the fog. But the most deceiving phrase of all time is *RIP"
Who told you it is greener at the other side? Who told you, you'll find peace?
So don't be in a hurry to commit suicide, the number of years you'll spend in the grave is greater than the one you will spend on Earth. In life there are plenty trials and test, just be calm and wait for the ease.

Once you start considering suicide or you're having suicidal thoughts, speak up. There's no shame in talking to a psychiatrist

May Allah safeguard us all

Be Kind. For Everyone You Meet Is Fighting A Battle You Know Nothing About.

I think I'm weird. For sometime now, I will just be on my own and my spirit will be disturbing to either reach out to a friend or at least pray for them.
I don't know why
That's was how I was on my own sometime last year. One spirit kept on disturbing me to reach out to some persons. I didn't know why? Sometimes I will pray for them othertimes I would be giving excusing saying "Why Me?"

That was how my heart kept disturbing me to reach out to one my friends. It's was so intense. I couldn't becos for no reason this guy stopped speaking to me. We've been friends since childhood.
Everyday, the spirit would be disturbing me to ateast pray for him or reach out but I couldn't becos he ignores me when I speak to him.
Until one evening I heard that he died the previous day. According to people, they said he kinda had some Mental issh.
My heart broke.

Some weeks later, it kept on disturbing me again. This time to reach out to someone on my Facebook friend list. We don't even speak. I kept on fighting the spirit saying "Why Me"?..."Why"

Then one day, i remembered what happened to my friend and so I just sent this person a text message to know how things were with him.
I wasn't even expecting a reply becos we have only chatted just once in life and it lasted just 2mins.

To my surprise...this person replied me saying he had a Mental Breakdown and is currently on Medications. I was so shocked.
He thank me for reaching out and even tried calling me via Facebook Call so we could chat more.

Where am I going with this story. Maybe I'm Weird. Maybe I'm Strange with a spirit that tells me things about those in my circle but as humans let's try to reach out to people once a while. I know we all are busy and all but just try. A simple text message of "How Far"? goes a long way in preventing suicide.

Some people just need people to talk to. Others just need friends. Some people are going through things in their head that you can NEVER imagine in this world. Let's learn to reach out to people or at least pray for those in our circle.
There are other experiences I have had but time won't permit me to narrate. In all, always remember.

Be Kind. For Everyone You Meet Is Fighting A Battle You know Nothing About.

Not true many of these people you mention above also commit suicide.
Many psychiatrists who treat the depressed also end up in psychiatric wards too.
