Please, I really did not used to believe in depression, cause I mean... Why will a human being just decide to be at the lowest of themselves, why will you just decide that you are just so tired of life and that the next and only alternative is to kill yourself, like?
Is this a joke? Are you playing a prank on me? Is life that hard? I really do not think so at all...
This used to be my mindset when I was way younger, and even until just recently.
Well, personally, I have been through a whole lot, imagine a man that is practically an adult and don't have a phone to even make calls, not to talk of do other things...
At that stage of my life, I didn't see anything positive or possible, nothing seemed to be working fine, life brought a harder copy of it self, I had no money to get nothing for myself, like I depend on anything I am being given, can you imagine.
The problem was not that I just didn't have anything, what I think the problem was as of then was that I was working quite hard, I mean very hard to make wave for myself and even my family and friends at large, but then, everything felt like the phrase THINGS FALL APART.
Depression is real and can even kill a person, when everything just dawn on you, you'll feel like what is going on exactly? Who and what did I offend? A whole lot of questions and analyzation will start going through your mind, and it's that thinking that brings depression.
On the other hand, I read depression to be something else, I feel like depression is a choice. Do not get me wrong.
Someone said something that got me and has been leading me through some tough times, he said, and I quote.
THERE IS NO RIGHT REASON FOR DOING ANYTHING WRONG.
So many times, I think about this, and when I have had some negative thoughts, I remember this sentence and I control my mind.
We all know That life is unscripted and that what ever we could be facing could also be tagged as a phase and it will pass, they say nothing lasts forever not even pain not even good times.
I have a friend that is currently in a phase of his life right now that seems like depression and it feels like hell to him. He told me this sometimes ago, it felt like everyone was leaving him, all his friends, including his girlfriend.
I know him quite well, he used to have money, spends quite rough but he also helps as much as he can, he is am airdrop person, and at this time of his life right now, he looks like he's broken, and now, all his airdrop guys are not even giving him face like he was never part of them.
When I knew this thing touched this my guy was when he explained this thing to me using WhatsApp voice note if I'm not wrong, it felt like I could feel his pain, and so I encouraged him and I could see he still wasn't happy, but he felt better than he was because at least someone cares or shoes attention.
He has not Healed yet, but u believe that he will very soon, life is a phase and your current phase will still pass away..
Let's make anyone that we can happy while we have the chance, I mean, this life is too short to be stupid, let's be happy always.
Let's do what is right when we can, and at the end, you will see and confirm that good really pays.
