tydi: Seasonal depression occurs during certain times of the year. Example, some people may feel depressed during the winter and rainy seasons. It is good to know what works for us when we are down. Over-eating is one of the symptoms of depression (especially in women), did you know? I think this is because food gives pleasure, and so, to increase dopamine levels in the brain, certain depressed persons eat more. |

blackpanthar: I do not have Facebook (and other social platforms). I have reasons for being off social platforms. I am just trying to help myself and others like me with what I have "in hand" (Nairaland, in this case). Nevertheless, thank you for the advice. I will wait for a few weeks. If the turn-out is low, or the group's purpose violated, I might consider dissolving the thread/community. |

I have not been officially diagnosed with depression, so I may not be "depressed". Nevertheless, I am sad (almost) all the time. Even when I laugh, darkness still lurks. I fear death. Not for myself, but for my loved ones. |

Good morning. This community is for persons (young and old) battling with depression of any form (mild, severe, seasonal, and so on). Talking about our fears, guilt, shame, and regrets could be helpful. Discussing suicide plans and/or joking about it could actually deter us from killing ourselves, as ironic as it sounds. Here, you can assume whatever alter ego/personality you want. This is a safe space. 1 Like |

Good afternoon. I am a final-year undergraduate student at a Nigerian university. I will graduate in about six months. I want to study Medicine and Surgery at KWASU afterwards. Can I apply as a Direct Entry student through JAMB this year, even though I do not have my degree yet? Is it possible to use the "Awaiting Results" option? Thank you. |

premiumtimesdly: Believe me, if the early feminists (Christine de Pisan, Mary Wollstonecraft, Emmeline Pankhurst, et cetera) did not campaign for the rights of women, the world would not be as developed as it is now. What do you have to say about important discoveries made by women like Marie Curie (radioactivity) and Alice Ball (treatment of leprosy)? The life-saving impact of these discoveries does not discriminate between man and woman, does it? Do you think these landmarks would have been possible if these women had adhered to their supposed roles? What about the many female world leaders that changed the world? Could they have done same trapped within the suffocating walls of their kitchen? No. The world is constantly evolving, and so are ideals and standards. Men are physically stronger than women; this fact was important many centuries ago, and even up to a few decades ago. For this reason, the male gender was perceived as the superior gender. They were able to till the ground better, perform more difficult tasks, and, as a result, earn more money than women. Society gave them "dominion". However, physical strength does not matter anymore. In this new era, power belongs to the mentally superior individual. Thankfully, through the efforts of the early feminists who advocated the education of women, the mental power of the woman now rivals that of the man. Like Lucifer, however, men cannot accept their fallen state. See, they cannot get over the fact that they are no longer gods. Men and women are equal, whether or not men accept it. Men need to evolve. |

leisuretym: How would you react if a woman posts on Nairaland or other social platforms that she "warned" her husband? You do not "warn" your partner, sir; you talk to your partner. They are your equal. 1 Like |

leisuretym: You do not "warn" your partner; you talk to them, if you want to address an issue. They are neither servants nor children to be "warned" or threatened. They are your equal. 1 Like |

How come no one realises that what her husband did was a form of manipulation? |

kelvinakproko: Religion is not a woman-friendly institution. The Bible (and other holy books) passed through the hands of chauvinistic misogynists. Some facts were altered, dare I say. |

premiumtimesdly: If you think a lot of women in "our modern world" advocate the equalism of both genders, you probably are living in a minuscule bubble inhabited mostly by feminists. In the real world, women embrace the status quo of oppression with a grin on their faces and a badge of honour on their chests. This is sad, really. |

It is depressing, how fervently the world celebrates mediocrity. 2 Likes |
