You need Cognitive behavioral therapy, you can do that on your own., it can reduce your panic attack.

Good exercise can also help.

Why i wouldn't recommend medication is this, you get dependent on it and also when you stop you get more severe panic attacks than before.

- I will advice you to face your fears.
- Eat lot of fruits and food that gives vitamin D, it will enhance your mood
- do lot of excercises, like jogging or just talking a walk, they boast the mood.

Staying indoors all day, makes you suicidal and depressed.

And lastly what most people don't talk about, masturbation, excessive masturbation reduces dopamine level in your brain, dopamine is a chemical that help in changes of your mood, most chronic masturbators experience, suicidal thought, heart palpitations, anxiety and panic attacks, sometimes shaky hands. If you are into it, reduces the number of time you engage in that act and you will see changes.

This is one of the reasons why I want to go into Mental Health Nursing. I pray I can get Scholarship to travel out and study it. This Nigeria sef. We will overcome.

Most people especially in this Nigeria think anything tagged "Mental Health" is attributed to mad people but that is where they are getting it all wrong.

A large percentage of Nigerians are battling Mental Health issues from as little as Depression but some don't know. There are different things that causes such Mental Heath issues.

What my sister needs now is what we call "TALK THERAPY". This will go a long way is bringing out the underlaying causes of her depression at this state. There are other therapies for such cases as well. There are even medications for mental health issues that after taking them will make you feel much better and help you relax.

In her case again, Isolation is a trigger. Complete Isolation from the outside world leads to more issues. She needs to get out more.

3) Do what makes you happy. Not what makes your Parents happy. Its your life not theirs.
What is that thing that right from childhood you enjoy doing. Focus more on it. Do it everyday. Yes...everyday. If you are studying a course you are not passionate about, that is also a trigger. If it means leaving the course, do it before it affects your mental health more and leads to suicide.
This are what we call STRESSORS. Things that trigger and affect your mental health. Delete all Stressors from your life. (Uninterested Course of study, Bad friends, Demanding Parents and all).
She said she loves writing, have she tried writing by creating a free blog on or writing on Nairaland Diaries. That's a good way to start.

4) Now there is what we call MUSIC THERAPY. What type of songs do you love listening to. Download them on your phone, get a good earpiece and plug it on. Let the music enter into your soul. Release yourself to the music and let it guide you into anything either to dance or just relax. Open your soul to the music. Do this daily. You will thank me later.

5) Now there what we call PHYSICAL THERAPY. Also known as Exercises. Exercises tends to release happy hormones. It releases your stiff body, makes you sweat and makes your feel good. If you can't exercise, try walking about each day for some hours. You will thank me later.

6) Next is PEER PRESSURE. Most people think peer pressure is when your friends come to pressurize you into doing what you don't want. NO..NOT ATALL. We put ourselves into peer pressure without knowing.
Forget about your friends that are successful, are doing better or seem to be doing better. Your destiny and theirs are totally different. Don't check their social media to track their progress. Dont track their progress in life to know if they have more money, better job, gotten married, already have kids, bought a house, bought a car etc.
Have in mind that gold must pass through fire to be Refined for use. Run your own race.

Also, don't look for love from people.
The mistake we make is we tend to bother about whether people like us from people that don't even love themselves. Believe me when I say so. Don't expect love from people that don't even love themselves becos they don't. Everybody is masking their true emotions.

7) Find your Hobbies and do them daily. From watching TV, playing sports, writing, playing instrument, working out etc.
Do them without thinking about what others think becos people's opinions don't count. It's your life and you are the lead character in this movie. Play it. Live it.

Last but not the least. PRAY. Talk to GOD daily. He will guide you and lead you. If you have the energy, read a chapter of the Bible daily. Start from book of John. Start slowly. Remember I said one chapter a day. With time, you will graduate to reading more on your own.

I hope my advice have been helpful. I wish you the very best. Above all, I wish you love and light.


P.S:
Anybody who knows of how I can get full scholarship to study Nursing (Mental Health Nursing) in any country abroad, please let me know. Thanks.

mariahAngel:


Who told you that no one cares? That is a lie!

If nobody cared, nobody would take time to read through your story (which is pretty long) and then comment.
My dear, God loves and cares so much about you. Believe that.
We care enough to read and try to see if there's any way we can help.
You are not alone.
Is there anything you want me to do for you?

GuyInTheMirror:
Hi Poster, I want to say I completely understand what you are dealing with.
As a 34 year old single guy in North America living alone , working from home and dealing with isolation, I have gone through the worst form of depression.
But if you are able to pick up something and channel your interest into it, it might help.
For example I decided to learn a new field AI and also invested heavily in music and the progress I am making in these areas has been the only thing holding my sanity together.
You have to get busy, put your energy, time, effort into something that you can patiently watch it grow.
That will bring some satisfaction and sense of fullfillment to you.
I wish you goodluck.

inftj:
Like you, I created a new handle to respond to you...

Pls, reach out if you ever want to chat. As someone who just came out on the other side of a 2-year mid-life crisis; I can assure you it helps to talk to some who understand some of where you are at.

The one thing I used to wish for was someone to talk to anonymously to just unburden. I can listen to you and share my own journey and tools i used if it helps.

Sending light and peace your way .....

Kingnelson9:

Opemiposii:

Opemiposii:
Dont ever think of commiting suicide o.. Cos if a person commit suicide dat person would meet her/himself in hell... Your problem is over in jesus name... Itz d devil work...

Kingnelson9:
don't you have friends? male or female...

falcon01:
I get where you are coming from, Without telling my story at a point in my life I was like you, I still got Anxiety and PTSD cause I've been through lot of Life threatening encounters was depressed AF Was completely Lost all I do was memes and games, only difference is now I have responsibilities Gitta lay the Bill's and whatnot. Well I had to get better As i grow older I had to pull my shit together cause of some reasons. What I did was accepted the reality That No body genuinely cares and Sadness is the Only True feeling you'd experience Because majority of people haven't experienced true happiness it's just a temporary feeling.
My advice is do whatever it is you are doing, finish your school, life is boring We know especially in Nigeria It's either that Or Nothing just endure and out up a smile cause sh*t only gets worse That's the truth.
