most times you have no other choice but to be depressed
Its funny how most people say they are numb to the pain but deep inside they know its all a bluff, their smiles are fake and most times you can clearly see through it...
A takes a pro to know that most depressed people are faking it.. most smiles are fake and you'd see through it if your close enough to them.....
There are lots of people who make millions but they are broken inside, they have been fighting with anxiety and depression for a long time that they no longer know who they are anymore.....
A whole lot of them are filled with suicidal thoughts because they feel taking their own life is the only way to end the pain.....
Suicide Shouldn't Be An Option
Taking your own life is one of the worst and painful sin to commit, your only cause more pain to the people you left behind....
Such act might even make a normal person ( friend/family ) feel depress because its gonna impact a huge damage in their life....
*I even got more depressed when I hear a friend of mine died, he was a kind and funny... So sad he had to leave too soon 😔😔..*
Is It Ok To Be Depressed??
For some reason most people have no other option but to be depressed due to some certain life experience or due to some daily challenges they have encountered....
For example: There is this friend of mine who has been living In fear ever since she found out the truth about her self....
I know y'all must be wondering what I meant by that, when She became a teen she realized she is a sickle cell and that seems to be the beginning of the end....
She began to live in a world of fear and depression, a lot of people tried and gave it their all but it seems like talking to her won't be able to fix how she feels....
She is going through pains and she seems to be living everyday as her last, I know not all sickle cell are luck to survive and fight past their illness....
Well most people made fun of her and it did affect her mental health, each day she keeps praying in tears and pain, asking God to spare her life because she her life is on the line.....
**I know what it's like to not now what its like to be in such situation, I feel pity for her and I don't blame her for been depressed because I know she just can't help it....**
*Sometimes its ok to be depressed but don't rely on drugs or anything silly to make you feel better, in the end we are all gonna die but it shouldn't be in a painful or horrific way so live everyday as your last and don't take your life for granted....*
Most Times You Can't Help It
Yea most times you can't help it and 99% of anyone who were to be in your shoes would definitely feel the same way as you...
There is this popular rapper called **NF**, his songs goes straight to the heart and they are touching..**. "Why Would You Leave U**s**"** this is one of his popular song and it gives goosebumps to the listeners because he talked about his mom....
I think His mom died when he was little due to drug addiction, he went through hell... No one to help and he was all alone I guess, most shows he couldn't even complete the song because he'd burst into tears due to some flash back....
You can imagine the pains he went through as a kid, it did affect him physically and mentally and I believe those were the reason behind his depression....
Over 40% of those who were depressed as a kid ended up going astray, most of them end up being an addict to drugs because they feel it can ease their pain and give them a temporary happiness...
Most of them end up commuting suicide because there is no one and nothing to give them hope that everything is gonna be ok someday...
In order to prevent that if you have a friend who is in such state do the right thing by talking to them, be there for them and make sure they don't end up taking their own life......

Depression
**Hello everyone 👋.. Happy new week to us all, we all need to buckle our seat belt for there is a new journey ahead of us because its a new week...**
This is my first **blog/article** here on this platform, before thinking of any topic I was so excited about the new journey that I have just started and I was out of ideas no matter how much I think about one, but first I'd like to make a little introduction...
**Who Am I?**
Well am a nobody trying to be a somebody, I couldn't think of a better username so I decided to pick **"Depressed"...**
**Why Pick Depressed When There Are Tons Of Nicknames/Username To Use?**
Well within the past 7 months I have been battling with two things and that's myself and depression so I find it interesting to use it as a username...
*I'd Love To Talk About Depression And Ways To Ease Depression...*
Depression
A lot of people have heard about the word **'Depression'** and not all of them have been depressed so they don't actually know how its feels...
What Is Depression?
In a simply word depression can said to be a mood disorder, and it causes loss of interest and also sadness.... Depression affects thinking due to how sad one feels...
**WHAT CAUSES DEPRESSION?**
Depression is been caused by a lot of things, and according to reports over 300 million people are living in depression ( world wide )...
For most people who are been depressed you'd figure out the reason behind their depression if you create chance for a proper conversation from the heart....
With that being done you'd know the kinda load they have been carry all alone, most of them have even been depressed even before they know it....
Most depression are caused by some traumatic life encounter, you'd see a major reason down below..
**losing someone/something precious to you**
**Traumatic life experience etc..**
These are one of the major reasons
**SYMPTOMS OF DEPRESSION**
Symptoms of depression includes the following down below...
**Energy loss**
**Losing interesting in things/activities you used to love and enjoy**
**Suicidal thoughts etc..**
With common sense we'd know the causes and the symptoms of depression are linked together for example before a person is starts having symptoms of depression he/she would have gone through the cause of it....
Suicidal thoughts is also a symptom of depression, and he/she is having a suicidal thoughts because they have already gone through the cause... Either the person has lost someone/something precious to them or maybe they just can't escape and forget a traumatic life experience....
**WHAT DEPRESSION FEELS LIKE...**
Most depressed **Kids/Adult** can't explain what depression feels like, they are not to be blamed for that because its kinda difficult to explain it to those who haven't felt it....
Depression is like searching for your home when your already in it...
Depression is like being sad and angry at the same time but you might not even know the reason why your been sad and angry..
Depression is like an endless pit, you just keep falling without seeing where your headed..
Depression is like being lost in the woods when its cold in the winter season, sun is down, no matches, no fire, no sleeping bag and no one knows your missing... You feels so hopeless and helpless while you ask yourself if you can make it through the night...
Depression makes you feel like this world is not worth living, your souls is hurt and your body feels numb to the pain...
Depression makes you feel too tired to care because your already empty and broken....
Most people who are depressed do rely on people to make you happy and for me I think that's one of the biggest mistake because they don't actually understand how you feel....
Find your peace, Do what makes you happy, make yourself happy, forgive yourself and forgive those who have once hurt you in the past, hit the gym, watch the sunrise and watch the sunset...
I know its hard to fight your inner demons so wipe off your tears and swallow that lump in your throat, don't hesitate to try something new and with time you'd find happiness...
How To Ease Depression
Well for those who are depressed am wishing you the best and hopefully you get over it...
There are many ways to ease depression, and most of them are just temporary..
Look for what makes you happy and keep doing it.. Go see a therapist and hopefully you'd be calm for a while, hit the gym, interact with people and find your inner peace, move out of your comfort zone and before thinking of suicidal thoughts don't forget you are loved... 💓
Depressed people shouldn't be overlooked because 70%-80% of them are having suicidal thoughts because they fill like they won't get a chance to be their old self once again...
Closing thoughts
For everyone out there who is depressed I wish and pray you win the battle, don't relent and don't give up.. and I pray someday you'd get better....
