How do you escape depression or unhappiness?
I have the answers and reasons to that already, but I will like to tell my little story
It all started with a story from my past, I was in high school back then "secondary school" there was a girl I loved so much named Chinwe. She was always my number one go to, blinded by love, you know how the young lovers behave when I think about it now it kind of feels weird to me. We spent everytime together for a year, there was nothing that could cause a separation..
I felt so in my mind back then. We solved things together, aspired together, wanted to go to the same university, dreamt of being together. Chinwe held the keys to my heart, always responded to any of her request to show you how tight we were. I never knew how a break up could cause me so much. A day arrived and she cheated, when i finally knew about it, it was like the world was coming to an end. My life never remained the same from that moment, we shared so much that I totally lost control and had forgotten how to move on. I couldn't stand the cite of her each day when we both were in class, so I decided to stop attending. I lost the key to go on all because of an ended relationship.
My failures started not too long from there, I had a lot of covering up to do, my results were beyond covering up. How I broke out of it?, one thing that I never stopped was my interaction with people, with good friends . I escaped because of the type of friends I had, he never stopped coming to cheer me up to give his little support. I decided in my heart that I was going to live the school, that was the only way to escape from the darkness I felt within me the courage to move on, it was then the feeling stopped, the depression stopped.
You have to Know who you are and your purpose on this earth, I did not just stop at being depressed I gave my self a chance to be free, to escape from the position I was. We were both young back then but I took it to a next level of seriousness, I couldn't visualize, I couldn't see far from where I was.
What are the the things that can bring you to a point of decision of escape, to think about your purpose here on earth, to take charge. Another point to take note of is Academic performance. I will like to briefly tell a different story of a friend I met along the way but we went to seperate colleges.
He was not good with a pen and a paper, always having problems in undestanding whatever he reads. And the first examination year came, he did all he could and when results was posted he failed all his registered courses. The second year came he failed all too, it felt as if he wasn't working hard enough meanwhile he does put efforts.
He was at the point of giving up on education, then a day came we were both together on the street, a vehicle came with full speed and moved closer to us almost running us over. When the whole thing seemed like a flash before our eyes, he had this fear in him and he told me immediately that what will be the legacy he will live behind had it being he was crushed by that moving vehicle. After that experience he escaped from anything called fear or doubts he had.
Are you going through the point of being suicidal or giving up on your self, you have to escape depression from today. Think about the future, what are you going to achieve from being depressed or being unhappy. You are clouded by darkness and you just need to come out of it, respond quickly and know your purpose and position from today.
Depression is a dark force to contend with, it is a mood disorder that affects how you feel and think and how you can manage daily living, it can happen at any time in your life.
Majorly depression can affect more than your mood, the way you sleep, you lose weight and gradually loose interest in your life, having thoughts about your own deaths.
Feeling of hopelessness causes depression. When you have no way out of escape from the problem, you find your self in a depressed state.
Depression can also occurs when you have a healthy pain that wouldnt just go away even after treatment. I myself went through costochondritis for two years, many will understand the kind of pain it causes. It is not harmful but causes you to begin to think of dying.

Be with friends, be with people that can help you.
Put off making major drastic decisions till you get better.
Look at what you can achieve through escape.

In conclusion
Are you willing to come out of that crazy feeling depression?, would you want to end up destroying your life or making meaning to it. It's your choice to make up your mind today.
I hope this few points will help you Escape...wanted to be brief and precise.
