Suicide is not a solution to free yourself from the world’s
problems
Everyone has wonderful hopes, dreams, and expectations of
their future, but many times what we are looking for never come our way. Some
of us have been robbed of our joy through the loss of a loved one and many feel
lonely and hopeless when they find themselves in abusive homes and
domestic violence.
In such a troubled world, it’s very easy to see the ailments
of society taking its toll on people. The high rate of unemployment and
divorce, are also some of the causes leading to depression. It’s not
surprising that psychologists have confirmed that the ailments of people
can be traced from the homes and environments they were raised.
We understand that as human beings, we are bound to face
difficulties in our lives, the important question is: How do we handle those
problems we experience? According to the World Federation for Mental Health,
depression is a significant contributor to the global burden of disease and
affects people in all communities across the world.
Today, depression is estimated to affect 350 million people.
The World Mental Health Survey conducted in 17 countries found that on average
about 1 in 20 people reported having an episode of depression. But do you know
that you have the power to overcome loneliness and depression?
Why some people easily succumbed to depression and others
able to resist? The happy people we often meet on the street are not superhumans. They are only happy because experience in life has taught them that
happiness is yourself.
Someone can make you unhappy, prevent your success, or do
everything to hurt you, but so long as you are a living being, you have the
power, desire, inspiration or everything it takes to liberate yourself from
that misery, loneliness or depression.
Fear, anxiety, depression, and loneliness can easily be
prevented than you know. Instead of living on drugs and alcohol, which rather
increase your psychological problems, there are some recommended steps that can keep one far from loneliness and depression. Reading interesting books as a
hobby can capture your imagination to avoid depression.
If you love to stay at home, please cultivate the habit of taking
a walk through the gardens, doing window shopping, joining social clubs. Going
to the gym to exercise once or twice a week doesn’t only keep you fit but also
psychologically healthy. You may have a hidden talent but you don’t know. Find
out what you are very good at, follow it and start blogging to create your
happiness.
Another important factor is financial matters, which often
wear people down psychologically. When facing financial problems, you need a
healthy mind to find your way out not a depressed mind. I can’t do
it, I’m not sure I can succeed, there is nothing left for me in life, are all
‘symptoms’ of depression. Take away the shackle off your body and free mind
from the psychological chain damaging your health.
