Depression

-


                               *DEPRESSION*

"a state of mind producing serious *long-term* unhappiness, low morale, lowering of enjoyment of life, inability to visualize a happy future which may include thoughts of *self-inflicted injury or suicide*.

There are many factors that contribute to the onset of depression including genetics, changes in hormone levels, certain medical conditions, stress, grief or difficult life circumstances. Our focus factors are stress, grief or difficult life circumstances.

We all have down moments. Every single one of us. Those times when we can't make sense out of the situations surrounding us, when life chooses to show us it's bad side. Challenging moments that dampens our spirit, soul and body.

The aim of this discuss is dual. First is to encourage us to share our life's challenges with trusted people. When we face difficult situations, it does a lot of good to have people we can share our hearts with. This way we can ease our burdens, get comfort, and even solutions to some of our challenges.

 Second is for everyone of us to take up the responsibility of checking on people that matter to us. And lending a helping hand in every way we can. I know we can't always keep tabs on everybody in our lives but if I have 3-4 people I keep up with regularly and you do the same, everyone will have someone to check on him or her. And even for folks we don't talk with on a regular basis, once a while when they cross our hearts, let's do well to reach out. Social media makes it easier and cheaper to keep tabs now. Many young people face a lot of difficult situations, many need someone who will reach out to them. It is by keeping up that we can know and help each other in our down times.

What are you feeding on?

In life, growth is very important, and to grow the body needs some basic nutrient. The kind of nutrition or malnutrition the body undergoes will determine the kind of growth you will have. For many reasons people decide on different diet plans, keto, vegan, paleo, gluten-free diet just to name a few. These diets work the wonders they are designed to work. In the same way, whatever we ingest will determine what our output will be. Most times we are the product of what we take in. like someone on a diet who is cautious about their weight and eager to maintain a good shape, the result you will produce depends on what you feed on. As you are already guessing I'm not talking about the literal food we eat. What are you listening to? What kind of books do you read? What movies, TV shows, and series are you watching? Are they adding value to you or taking value away from you? Pause! Ask yourself this question again and answer sincerely, what are you feeding on? What you consistently feed o...

Rethink your circle

Who are those in your circle? What type of friends do you keep?  There's a saying that goes thus "the average of 5 people you walk with sums up your life" we could agree to disagree on this, your choice! but it still remains true. Interestingly sometimes you have a little setback or challenge and you are scared to share with your friends!! does that even make sense?  You be thinking in your head, If I tell them they will laugh and make jest of me  and they will not even take it serious no matter what.  What kind of a circle is that? Friends who can't relate with your situation, who can't understand and sympathize with you in whatever situation you are in, they are not friends at all, they don't merit that title.   You need to redefine what friendship is. There are people you talk to they don't necessarily have to be your friends. And then you have the true people who actually care who you can call friends. Most times you get it all wrong assuming because y...
