THERE IS HOPE MAKE THE CALL






Hi guys, thanks for joining me. This is my first post and I hope it goes a long way in helping those in distress and depression. Please do good to subscribe and like thank you.

   First, what is suicide?  Suicide is the act of intentionally causing one’s own death. Mental disorders, including depression, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, personality disorders, and substance abuse including alcoholism and the use of benzodiazepines- are risk factors. Okay, let me ask a question: Committing suicide does it take away the problems you are having? Or does it bring a solution to the problem you are having? The answer is no. In the Bible, God is the giver of life so why take away that which is not yours? Here are some causes of suicide and suicidal thoughts:
  •          Anxiety
  •         Substance abuse
  •          Depression
  •           Mental disorder

        There is one major factor that leads to suicide which is depression. It takes the grace of God for one to come out of depression. Once someone is depressed, the next thought that comes to his or her mind is to kill himself or herself or better still go and drink sniper. In Nigeria for the past 2weeks now, we have been seeing cases of university students who commit suicide. It is either 100 level student of a particular university commits suicide or a final year student of another university jumps into a river or a 300level student drinks sniper. People now see this as a normal thing but no more lives are lost and young lives for that matter. In order to overcome this depression, one must not be idle. An idle man is the devil’s workshop. But I suggest if you feel this depression you leave your house and play or gist with a friend or better still share your problem. It is said that “a problem shared, is a problem half solved”. These are some ways to fight depression and suicidal thoughts:
·         Be Prayerful: No matter your religion, Prayer is the greatest way to overcome depression and suicidal thoughts. Once these things come, don’t hesitate to call unto God because he is the author and finisher of our faith and nothing is impossible for him to do. Drinking sniper won’t bring the solution to your problem or problems neither will hanging yourself or jumping into a lagoon do so. The only solution to your problem now is going to God in prayers.

·         Have faith: It is not all about praying. Prayer without faith is as good as useless. Once you have faith and always think positive, the solution to your problem is already half solved. Also, be mindful of what you say because the tongue has power and it can even be seen in the bible

·         Always stay busy and never be idle. Find something to keep you busy no matter how small.

·         Start doing exercise daily. Always find a time to do exercise because exercise has been proven to release endorphin’s, and relieve stress and this will go a long way.


·         Try to spend a little time each day outside and enjoy the beauty of nature. You have to know that no matter how holy you are, you have no right whatsoever to take away your life because it doesn’t belong to you.

·         Remove yourself from any means of suicide, Remove all Knives, drugs snipers or poison. Distance yourself from it.

I really hope the rate of suicide will be reduced to its barest minimum. Always remember that suicide won’t take away your problems but will bring a better problem after death. And “we grow when we face our challenges and not when we shy away from them”.
