It's another beautiful week with an awesome theme for discussion. It has always been an amazing moment on this side of the sphere. The subject for discussion is highly timely owing to the present predicament going on in my country called Nigeria. We are living in a time where the economy is crunchy which exposes the citizens to hardship. I have seen a lots of people complaining and going through critical challenges in life that makes one live in obscurity.
I see depression as a psychological condition or order which affects an individual if not properly managed could lead to death or suicide. Depression is a condition which denies one access to free life and makes one feel not acceptable. It could lead to high blood pressure, heart attack etc. Depression is like an oppression of the mind, heart of an individual. Depression can be caused by different kind of factors such as harsh economy, heart breaks or relationships breaks, marital infidelity, lost of a beloved one, hunger etc. These and many more could lead to depression.
When you can't impress definitely you will be depressed. When you're depressed you can't impress even yourself neither someone else. When you are depressed, your thoughts patterns are affected, you're vulnerable to negative things. A depressed person doesn't see anything positive about life and is demoralized. A depressed person can't do anything effectively and productively. A depressed person is not healthy psychologically and mentally as well. A depressed person can commit suicide easily and also give up easily on things.
A young lady many years ago had a bad relationship with her guy. The parents insisted with her not to move with the guy but she refused and claimed that she can't just do without him. In fact, she said is better she died than not marrying this guy. Time is said to be the revealer of everything. After a while, the relationship ended up in dreadlocks but the lady said is better she commit suicide and rest. Hmmm is this actually rest? Later the lady was so depressed and couldn't hold it rather she went and bought insecticide so that she can drink and die. The end of the story was that she couldn't die and people came around to save her. Today, she is married to someone and blessed with four children. Imagine she died that year, what would have happened to the children?
Everyone has the tendency to be anxious or worry about something. The main question is what do you when things didn't turn out the way you want? If you worry too much, it could lead to depression and when depressed, you can take the wrong decision which could be detrimental to you. A class mate of mine far then in the late 90s couldn't further his education again due to depression. He became so depressed that it turned him to mad man. They tried all efforts from the family but it proved abortive. Hmmm that was my first time of witnessing the effect of depression in such dimension.
Depression without impression. When depressed you can't impress. Depression is a killer of both young and old today especially in my dear country. I have heard of how many hung themselves. Even some religious leaders were victims of such. One of the way out is contentment and remain prayerful to your God because their certain hurdles in life that one must pass through.
