Depression

The picture was captured when I was disturbed for a minor issue

We are aware that death is inevitable, but we shouldn't draw attention to death because of the odds. We know that death comes unaware, but it does not mean we should decide to end our existence on earth. We are aware that the pains of life can strain and drain human mentality.

We all know that depression is real, and life is full of unfortunate events, but how do you know that life after death will be peaceful? Though, when life is stigmatized, it will be hard to opt for the right decision. When you're smeared with some confronting issues, your right-thinking ability would be blank. These are some ugly theories of life - which can result in the option of committing suicide.

Why the unceasing rate of suicide upon campaigns against suicide in our society? We can not blame the religious leaders for this because they've been strongly preaching against suicidal acts.

The media are particular about the causes of suicide in society - always inviting guests to address the public to escape a depressive lifestyle.

The writers are still propagating against suicide daily, just to end the ugly news. They've tried within their range to curb the suicide rate, but it seems the number of cases is increasing. Also, the medical team is not exempted from working to encourage people who are facing psychological and physiological problems.

As a writer, I've come again with my pen to preach against suicide in society. We know that unfortunate issues are unavoidable - but some unfortunate issues can be overcome if we can control our minds and activate to positive thinking realm. It's not easy to activate such a mood whenever one is depressed, but with the aid of motivational words, we can surmount it.

Dear reader, you can pass this piece to someone you know who's easily frustrated due to the ugly activities of life. You can let them know that suicide is not an option. Yes, we know that depression can result in any perilous event.

Whenever you think of taking your life, think of your tomorrow first. If you can think of your tomorrow, try to envisage your future - there is no reward in committing suicide.

Try to criticize the reasons why you want to take your life. Is it suffering? Is it a false accusation that you're facing? Is it bereavement? Loneliness? Divorce? Failure? Stagnation? Just mention them and I will tell you that most successful people have passed through these processes. Do you know the secret why they're regarded as successful people? They didn't officiate in a suicide mission. Just think about the reason why you're opting for suicide.

We should know that life is full of mysteries and miseries. Why can't you wait till the next edition of life? Do you mean such a plight would not be solved? Do you know that you can also overcome it?

Due to this, I will be sharing some certain things to do whenever feel depressed.

Motivate yourself, share your worries with close ones, ticipate in things you like to do, try to control yourself, and pray for God to always intervene.

The writer will briefly explain five ways to mitigate depression whenever someone is depressed

* Motivate yourself:

Are you easily depressed or frustrated in life? Do you border more on trivial issues in your interaction with peers, family members, and classmates? If you're easily depressed and frustrated in life, try to share motivational tips with yourself. You're the best motivational speaker who can succinctly address your issue - try as much as possible to apply encouraging words before any other person. While doing this, you will be impressed as we pursue future activities daily.

* Share your worries with close persons:

This life is full of mysteries, but we don't need to hide every issue of our life. Most times, you can meet friends to encourage you with a particular problem. A times, when encouraging you, the person will also share similar experiences which can boost your level of steadfastness.

Do not hate. Someone who is depressed will be more affected if issues are still bordering - try to exhibit love.

* Do what is good for you:

Please, don't misconstrue the writer. The writer is not saying someone should opt for suicide - it's not a good option. The writer is urging anyone who is depressed to partake in any activities that can create humor and relief.

As our countenances differ, so do our desires. Whenever you're depressed, just engage yourself in what you love most. If it's music, listen to songs that can make you activate the sense of positive reasoning. For those who write, writing is also a method to mitigate the level of depression.

This theory should not be applied in the negative sense. For example, for a depressed person to drink into a stupor will always cause such a person to fall into a world of negativity.

* Try to control yourself:

Most of the people committing suicide have a dearth of controllability. They easily accept the ill happening without reasoning beyond the circumstances. They think, opting for suicide will end all the odds. The person who can control him/herself must invariably and eventually attest to the escaping route.

Those who are wrongly accused should not allow anger to crumble them. Peradventure, the truth of the allegation will come into play. Instead of suicide, seek justice, and let justice prevail.

* Pray for God to intervene:

In anything we do, we should allow God to take preeminent control. Pray against any depressive lifestyle that is frustrating. As children of God, it is only God that can intervene in our ugly situations.

In conclusion, depression has caused a lot of havoc in the society. We humans who are facing such plight should adopt methods to mitigate the high rate of its occurrences.

Let's say no to suicide in our society. It is not an option. If it is an option, those who are writing about how they escaped suicide can't be heard. We all know that life is full of ugly scenarios, but shouldn't opt to terminate one life.
