RE: Depression, Contributed by @Olawalium

in #depression6 years ago

I read about the man too and I was so disturbed because that was the second time I read about someone committing suicide as a result of depression on that particular day.

We should not allow ourselves to be deceived by people's appearances, because those we do not expect are the one suffering from it.

@gooddream posted about another sport man that committed suicide as a result of depression some years a go. He said in his post that when you see the man, you can never know he was suffering from such, because he always make himself available to lift those around him, so no one suspected him to be fighting inner battle until the day he committed suicide.

Let's play our roles in helping those around us, let's speak positively into their lives. Don't let us judge them without listening first, lots of them are facing things bigger than them, don't let's us compound to it.

One problem I noticed with the depressed is that they don't always want to talk about it, they don't always trust those around them enough to share their burden with them, they prefer to carry it all alone until they are unable to carry it again. That should be enough reason why we need to be more careful in dealing with people.

When you feel like saying something or doing something for someone, don't delay it, you can't say how long it can go.

Thank you @olawalium and @communiycoin

absolutely. We should always carry ourselves in a way that others can trust us. We should be able to let them know we are approachable and can be trusted. Most of depressed people hardly want to talk about it because they are not sure how those around them would handle it. No one likes being a topic of negative discussion.

Thanks once again bro.

Not all understand this... Some people would rather add to the problem than to lessen it.
