Good day everyone, I'm not so sure if this is the right section to post this but it seems dat this is the most visited section in niaraland and i beg fo this post not to be deleted.
I have noticed some strange pattern in my behavior and i think its depression but im hoping if there are any professionals here on nairaland to tell me if it is and if the answer is yes i will be happy if u can direct me to where l can get help.

All my life ive been kind of an introvert who delight in staying indoors but recently ive noticed that ive lost interest in being in contacts with anybody. Before i used to enjoy the presence of my family members but resently ive losy interest in meeting them. I prefere staying indoors for hours and when they ask the reason for my withdrawal i say nothing. While indoors i cry for what seems like hours and i end up falling asleep.


I have lost interest in my hoobies and developed interest in being alone.I dont know if its normal but i enjoy using blade or anything sharp to cut my self just for the sake of feeling the pain.



l hate being around people and always see them as a threat. l feel no one understand me and ive noticed some irregular eating habits.


lm not proud of this but i sit all day imagining things that can never happen and atimes i wonder what my death day would look like or how ill die. This has really affected my relationship with people bcuz instead of talking l keep imagining impossible shits.



Pls help me if u know where or how l can get help u could be saving a soul


PLS BE CONSIDERATE IN UR COMMENT IM A VERY SENSITIVE PERSON.THANKS

SORRY FOR THE LONG POST BUT THANKS FOR READING

"Sit Like a Child and Open Your Mind Freely".

I understand what you are going through bro.
1. You need something to keep your mind busy e.g get a job or join a new church.

2. Try and encourage yourself.

3. Listen to music. It helps.

4. Talk to a counsellor.

I have been there before, now it's a different story.
You will be fine in few days. Trust me

Hmmm

Issues like this varies with different pattern, I so much understand what you are going through but can't relate cause ive not experience such...one thing I want people commenting on issues like this is please negative response to this post does more harm to the poster..I will suggest u pray for her and move

I pray someone that can help and understand ur situation response to you faster

No one can help you out of this but you, your self because once you realise what your problem is,is half solve.

1 call your parents and share how your feelings with them
2 dont stay alone unless you are to rest
3mix with people around you and engage in sports.

Listen to cool music alot,get a gf n try weed(eat it) it is anti-depressant,look 4 a job most important.

Weed kwa, l thought that causes insanity

You have too much time in your hands to waste doing nothing that’s why you can afford to be depressed. Be like you don’t have any money-pressing issues.

Sit down and while away your precious youth locking yourself indoors while your mates are busy chasing money and building their future. Mugu

It's depression, triggered by mind loneliness.
I've been there.
Let's talk.

My friend, don't say that again.
I have a business running Mondays through Fridays, and sometimes also on Saturdays, for you to know I'm hardly ever less busy.

If you don't have a solution to people's problems, don't make it worse.

Don't try weed bro!
You'd be engaging in an addiction that may end up damaging your health.

It does, there has been lots of reported cases.

Don't follow that advice, it will cause more harm than good.

If you really are as busy as you claim (with this your alternate moniker) then it’s safe to say you’re just looking for undue attention because I don’t see how someone who’s fully busy through the week and making money would lock himself up and start using blade to cut himself. You’re obviously just looking for attention and hope you have gotten the desired attention

Try to masturbate anytime u are alone u will feel alright shey u the find what to focus on focus on self service

Mermaid123:

definitely if u abuse it,,too much of everything is bad by it is an anti-depressant.

Yes. You are right. What you wrote here are classical symptoms of depression.

It's good you're speaking out.

You need help.

You can send me a mail

Don't keep to yourself.

One, you are young. You should be full of life.

Why are you hiding from the world ?

No matter how bad your situation is, part of the solution lies in meeting people, talking to new people, and being active.

Stop sleeping and start creating something. Learn a language, learn a skill, learn a trade, just do something.

yes let's them think so because depression is an Evil thought and it needs to be sent out

In your eyes now, you're a detective.
I said I know what the OP is going through despite being a busy person.
I am not the OP.

Kayberg thanks for defending me Stpete really doesnt understand and i dont wish for him to exprience this at all

You need God in your life.

You need to make an appointment immediately with a professional mental health therapist or counselor. Seems something is eating away at you and you have fallen into depression as a result. You will benefit from talking to someone about it asap.

This is terrible advice!

Meeting people does not solve problems particularly of the mental kind. When a person's mind breaks, it is because of inner turmoil. No outsider that is not a professional can help in that kind or situation.

You need to visit a therapist. There might be something you are battling with on the inside and you might need the help of a psychologist to talk about thereby releasing yourself from the burden. It is good you visit one.
You are loved and you will be fine sweetheart.

Start doing the opposite. Go out, make friends, visit religious houses, etc.

As for Stpete, some people at times need a little hit and bit of reality. Just ignore him.

You will get out of it.
