BREAK YOURSELF FREE FROM DEPRESSION

Suicide tendencies can be eliminated by seeing the doctor or through prayer

Everyone has wonderful hopes, dreams, and expectations of their future, but many times what we are looking for never comes 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 their 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 to 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 do some people easily succumb to depression, and others don't? 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 within oneself. You have the power to make yourself happy or miserable.

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 be easily prevented than you know. Instead of living on drugs and alcohol, which can rather increase your psychological problems, some recommended steps 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, and joining social clubs. Going to the gym to exercise once or twice a week not only keeps 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, they are all 'symptoms' of depression. Take away the shackles from your body and free your mind from the psychological chain damaging your health. 

Never waste your time on someone who doesn't love you. He or she will never be satisfied, even if you sacrifice your whole life. Be always calm and aspire to greater things in life because the power of positive thinking works.

6 Things That Will Never Let You Underestimate Cleaners In Society

Ziggy Dust: The dancing street cleaner from Poland

Growing up in Africa, what I realized earlier in life is that because of poverty, parents always encouraged children to study very hard to avoid being a cleaner or a driver. 


They also pray so that their sons or daughters may marry a highly learned person in society, perhaps a doctor, because that will give them honor and also bring some money home.

In Africa, society sees those in the cleaning and driving professions as uneducated or school dropouts, and many times, I see the problems a woman in love with a driver or a cleaner faces. Surprisingly, when I arrived in Europe decades ago, I noticed that some people looked down on those who worked as cleaners as well like Africa.

What is actually wrong with being a cleaner? If everyone wants to be in front, who will be behind to help the blind? And if everyone wants to be a doctor, engineer, pilot, captain, etc, who will be the cleaner to clean the offices of the pilot, engineer, etc, for them to enjoy a happy, healthy life?

As a matter of fact, I think people who look down on cleaners are not clean themselves. If one considers the role of cleaners in society, they will give them every respect they deserve equally, like a scientist or a pilot. Many hate to clean because it’s a tough job. 

This is the reason many can’t clean, but then why do they look down on cleaners when they are doing the job they wouldn’t do?

I live in Belgium, a country many hate to clean, thus, foreigners have taken over the cleaning industry, yet they complain that foreigners have taken their jobs from them. 

There are work agencies that usually send cleaners to do domestic and office cleanings. Surprisingly, some people discriminated against those cleaning their houses, demanding white cleaners, and the media hit back.

If someone is cleaner, doesn’t mean that the person is stupid or lacks intelligence? Here are

SIX FACTS THAT WILL CHANGE THE WAY MANY VIEW CLEANERS IN SOCIETY

1. Cleanliness is next to godliness because being clean is a sign of spiritual purity or goodness.

2. A clean environment is essential for a healthy living.

3. Cleaning the environment prevents an epidemic.

4. People litter on the roads and public places even though there are dustbins. Imagine what our society would look like without cleaning.

6. We shall be facing the threat of climate change and global warming.
