Because you had faith in religion. Have faith in God not religion. God is not in religion. Build a relationship with him. Christianity is not a religion but a person who has a relationship with God

change your environment. Try new things. Try learn a skill(ICT preferably). Find a primary school to go teach young kids for free.

Most importantly, visit the sick - visit orthopaedic hospital or graveyards- to see why you should be thankful to your creator. Always look at the positive side of everything. Quit blaming yourself or anyone else for whatever it's you're going through.

Those who give up define Weakness . I know you're not weak - don't give up. If you're a christian, quit attending prosperity churches. Stop looking at what people post on social media. They have their own issues too.

Don't give up!

1. Pray always.
2. Read the Bible especially Psalm 136, 51 and 91.
3. Find someone to talk to.
4. Don't think about what will bring you sadness.
5. Take a walk when you feel lonely or alone.
6. Try playing at keyboard or guitar if you have one.
7. Find a trusted person as a companion.
8. Never spend much time alone unless at cases of 1 and 2.

I don't know how this is going to help but I'm passing through the same thing now, rule number one is don't panic (fear) be calm at all times especially when that feeling of worthlessness comes, you'll over come it, stop thinking too much mostly about thinks that hurt your heart, be calm at all times, I read that you should eat well, go out in the sun ( let the sun scorch you and remind you that you are alive ), those pictures you see in your head though they're very compelling, just forget it, it is what it is just pictures, read your bible and try to focus on things you used to find funny or you used to love, when you make mistakes don't think much on it, when you read a whole article and all you remember is death, just forget it you'll be Alright, God is the healer, everything will be fine in time, distance yourself from things that gives you anxiety and try to do things that you used to fear like confronting people and looking them in the eye, desist from anger and anything that'd pinch the heart....you'll be fine dear, it's happening to me as I write this but don't worry you'll laugh soon, always be in company of friends, old ones or make new ones, just go with the flow of now.

Wait!

Send me a message let's talk. Most depression is financial and I can show you how to make money for free. You don't need to pay me and I won't charge you.


Modified: After what I read on the other thread about this whole suicide thing being a scam, I retract all my statements in trying to help.

After all, 50% of Nigerians are probably depressed since Buhari took over. Even Mr. Buhari is probably depressed.

Let us enjoy the next level in peace. All then best to anyone who is depressed — God will see us through. Amen!

Sorry bros, please identify the root cause and act against it. I was once in your shoe until I read "Attitude is everything " by Keith Harrell. You have to fight for you happiness. Look for friends that makes you laugh, watch & listen to comedy, exercise regularly, stop taken things personally and try and listen to Joel Osteen, you can find a whole lot of material on YouTube. Should you need someone to talk to you can fine a friend in me. This too shall pass

Brother,Being depressed is not an easy thing..Was depressed some time ago after I signed a shorty of about 8million naira for a lady(family friend).She Got d money from a micro finance bank and absconded to the US.The Micro finance bank sent a letter via a police officer to head of securities in my place of work but the luck I had then was that the guy happens to be a good friend that we hang out regularly.He quickly alerted me and informed me to call the police officer that brought the letter to my office.I had to strike a deal with the micofinace bank and was paying dem 250k every pa day of the month coupled with the fact that I was running a personal bank loan which was engolfing not less tha n 300k from me..When ever pay day was coming close I would be more depressed because I might not have enough money to take care of my family needs..I was so depressed and even sold my cars,but having my wonderful family and friends helped me get by..There was even a time that my mum had to pay my rent of about 1.2m and even paid my kids school fees..I always made sure I hung out with my good friends and share my problems with them.Am done paying the debt and am back on track.Please discuss your issues with close friends and Families..A problem shared is half solved.

Re: How To Fight Depression by EmpressT(f): 12:17am On Sep 27, 2019
I sincerely concur with Shelumiel. I was also a victim of depression since childhood until Febuary this year. Why? Because of low self-esteem and my inability to realize how great, brave, smart, wonderful and appealing I am. I used to be someone who sees my happiness in others forgetting I could be happy all by myself without faking it. It was so hard for me to get back on my feet. My dear, depression is real and it spreads wide like diabetes and the end of it is suicide. It took me deep counsel from my siblings, and taking my time and effort to meditate on God's word. I later noticed gradual improvement while reading the Bible and listening to tapes that feed your mind with good messages about who you are. I love listening to soul gospel and jazz music from my best ''Yanni''. These tools have motivate and re-mould me to become an exceptional being. I could care less about what people say or think of me because I will never again stoop myself low for someone who doesn't deserve me. I have mastered emotional challenges and fear of not loving myself and now I am an overcomer. I have known to love God with all my heart, I have known to love myself and see how valuable I am.
My friend, you got to let go of anything that will cause you hurt and pain. Learn to let go gradually. You should discuss your problems with someone you can trust and confide in. Learn to explore..... Go out for social gatherings that are of benefits. Avoid being alone all the time. Watch comic movies just to make you laugh. And there's nothing bad crying out your eyes when pouring your mind out with a trusted soul. Read intellectual books. Take charge of your emotions. When I feel down on occassions, I go to have fun with kids. I am always excited being around them. Learn to smile alot. And above all, read the Bible from the first to the end. There are alot of things to catch up from it if you are willing to free yourself from depression. Depression has no regard for anybody. You are the one to put a stop to it before it draws you to an early grave. Your life is too precious to be thinking about this deadly illness. Jesus Christ, the Judge of the ends of the earth loves you infinitely and He cares for you my dear friend. Give Him a chance to take permanent charge and control of the source of your thoughts. Please, visit a true man/woman of God or a therapist to assist you to be healed from within. I pray this helps.

Shelumiel:
You tried but gave up because you wanted to . Life is all about never giving up ; especially on things worth holding unto . So go back and pray to God in all sincerity to help you.

The truth is everyone is depressed both far and wide.... Na the willpower to stay alive and stand tall in the face of adversity that differs angry

Inside life, happiness can't be 100%. There will always be happy moments and sad moments. All we can do is hope and try as much as possible to ensure that the happy moment supercedes the sad moments.

Life's not so easy even for Mr. Eazi. You got to keep your head up and fight....
