Are we becoming too comfortable with depression?

[Anayochukwu]

In our world today, we have lots of depressed people living life like nothing is wrong. Depression can be as a result of many things like loneliness, financial pressure, peer pressure, stress and many others. Depressed people don't even speak up because the society don't place importance on it. Depression is real and we all go through it at different points in life. My question is why aren't we talking so much about depression and how to manage and help depressed people?

Loneliness and stress are the major thing that causes depression and I have been there before so I know how it feels, some people are claim to be introverted are low key depressed and they always try to isolate themselves from the rest of the world, being in your own comfort zone is good but it shouldn't be too much. However, there are also some extroverted people that are depressed and they go out and hang out with friends to cover up so until a depressed person comes out and seek for help the best way to manage it is to be kind to everyone out there because everyone have their own secret battles that they are not talking about.

Sometimes people are afraid that they might be called weak or a loser if they decide to Open up, so it's because of that we see a lot of depressed young people out there that are fighting their battles alone and are refusing to open up to the next person because it might be used against him or her.

I believe that the way people are responding to people's plight is the main reason a depressed person will not want to speak up because he will feels like his weakness or his complain will be used against him or her, so until our society start taking people's complaints serious, i don't think that a depressed person will want to be opening up when they find themselves in a situation like that.

You have a point and that's true because a lifestyle of living in some of the places usually affect people to speak up when they're depressed because when they would feel to discuss their problem with someone but think about how the person will start sharing their secret to other persons usually make them to remain silent by keeping everything to themselves but however what I would suggest to anybody who would be on that position is to go for a primary care doctor which is even more preferable than discussing their problem to someone that would judge them because with the primary care doctor they will be given a step to follow in other to break free from the depression.

The topic of depression is one that cannot and will not be easily satisfied, it's not that people don't acknowledge depression, facts remains that everyone is depressed but alot of people don't have the time, money or energy to even face that depression and they end up storing it somewhere in the back of their mind until it metamorphosis' into something else. Depression matters and acknowledging it takes a step further into reducing the number of depression related suicides

[Johnlomape]

One thing I have come to understand from people who tell others to move on is that they have their own baggage that they are lifting that they don't want to stop to look at if not they will be overwhelmed, facts still remain that almost everybody is depressed especially does living in poverty line but they know if they start dwelling on that, they won't move on. Personally I think only those that have money have the luxury to focus on depression

That's true, people faces one challenges or another, and when one advises others to move on, it means they  understand what it takes. But one thing many people don't understand is that some challenges are not easy to overcome. It can take time, sometimes years, to overcome from certain experiences, such as trauma and depression. Everyone has a different capacity to deal with challenges, but the important thing is not to allow the past to hold them back forever, especially when it comes to achieving their goals.

I was watching the television when I saw the news about the Indian government trying to replace students hostel ceiling fans with spring hook to prevent those that are planning to commit suicide through hanging themselves on the ceiling fans to have no success.
This life is not favourable to most people and that is why we should never judge a book by it cover. A lot of students, house wives, youths, workers are passing through pain they are not able to share and those that are not strong enough to face their fear may think of committing suicide because they feel they can not take it any longer.

Depression in my country is coming from different parts here people get depressed on a daily basis in this country, even what we are facing in this country is a lot, the survival of this country is so bad to some point is what making angry…work bills, even families pressure So they just pack that depression to the back of the mind like I will face it later and some even get high to some point to smoke….

Depression is real, but one thing I’ve learned is that you only feel depressed if you give yourself the chance to do so. Depression is mostly a feeling that erupts in a person, when they give room for tension due to tough situations, feelings and emotions, even though they can actually choose to keep all these in check. I’m not saying everyone who are depressed are weak, one could be strong and still carry the emotional burden of others, but finding an anchor to always hold on to whenever the feeling wants to set in is more or less the best way to handle depression and keep that feel in in complete check.

Depression is a serious mental illness and this social media made the word popular and everyone started using depression when they are feeling mentally tired or being stressed out of something that is going through but no, they are mistaken depression with stress which is completely wrong.

It is better not to normalize the word and if you think someone is struggling with depression then they need to visit a psychiatrist to get it diagonesed and they will prescribe an antidepressant like sertraline and other medicines in the required dosage to treat them.

now a days depression is a very common problem for people. people depressed for many causes. the world has been growing rapidly. peoples needs has been increasing at the same rate. people can depressed for work pressure, political,social,personal problems. peoples way of thinking are changing. most of the people suffering for this mater but people don't take it seriously. mental health is also important  like physical health. so lead a tension free life is a great concern.

In school, a hostel mate whom I spent so much time with, normalized saying he's depressed whenever I asked him of his constant habit of staying indoors, one day he intuitively opened up about what led to his depression, he said he never stops thinking of his only brother whom he lost to a stray bullet fired by the cops during a gang clash in his home town.

His story about his brother's funeral was so bitter that I began calling him my brother, he, in turn, also took me in as somebody he could trust, and after sometimes he started associating with my other friends and began to love them too, it was never that easy for him to let go of the pains in his heart, but with time he began to instill in his mind that he could find brothers in others.

A sad story'When he finally decided to open his doors for people to enter, his pains reduced a lot, which I won't say completely because nobody can be like his deceased brother. I'm saying this because he didn't have to go to any clinic or hospital, he just understood that they're people who could fill up the emptiness he feels in his hearth.

When someone lose his close buddy. it is difficult to tolerate moreover he become alone. when he feels lonely the problem should be increase for him. that time he needs company. when he talk to someone and try to join his daily work and surrounding people support him mentally. it will be easy for him to come out from the situation.

Actually the biggest problem with depression is that it is not easy to understand how bad things can be inside someone based on how he looks from the outside, It is unfair to consider that someone suffers from depression just because he likes to be alone. On the other hand it should not be taken for granted that everything is okay with those people who are always happy and smiling. For my part it is extremely significant to hear someone out and not make any judgments about him.

If your country is making the price high for you, then it is quite depressing because the routine of a normal family is the same. If suddenly there is pressure from the country, such houses start getting destroyed and they have saved some money, that too gets mixed up in this. Apart from this, there are many other things and reasons which are making us depressed. Yes, the biggest one is following the words of family members and their habits, this is the most depressing thing because a person lives according to his own will and means, whether he is drunk or healthy, and when these things come, the same things give him means in which he is involved.

In the present era, many people are victims of depression but they live their lives as if they have no problems and hide their problems and loneliness from everyone. People who are depressed do not cry all the time, there are many who talk to everyone, even try to make others happy, but do not let anyone understand their inner pain.
A depressed person has such a problem in life where his mental state is very bad, in what situations he often has negative thoughts about himself but does not tell anyone about them. There are many who want to hide themselves due to depression, try to stay away from people and friends, which breaks him down even more mentally.
At this stage, his physical condition and mental stress, as well as thoughts of the past and fear and despair about the future, consume the depressed person. It is certainly very difficult to get out of depression, but if the person's attitude is a little strong, it is important to socialize with people instead of keeping yourself alone.
Exercising on time without overthinking and getting enough sleep, which brings a depressed person to a solution. You should never let yourself get depressed just because bad times will come in life. Instead, it is more effective to take every step well to get out of it and spend quality time with your family.

It is never possible to tell what is actually going on in someone's mind. Some people may look like nothing has happened to them or they have no negativity or any kind of stress, but it can be seen that they have a lot of stress, various problems, but despite everything, they express themselves very happily from the outside. In fact, it is never possible to determine for sure what is actually going on inside someone, and that is why we should not make any conclusions about someone based on assumptions. First, you need to know that not everything is as easy as you think or as you expect. It is very difficult to understand one person from another, but we take this matter very easily, and by looking at a person's external position, we wrongly assume their internal position, which is always wrong. Someone may be living a normal life hiding their troubles, while someone may be constantly fighting with themselves in silence.

Sometimes, so many people are fighting battles secretly that nobody knows about, and instead of showing them love and support, most at times we end up judging and condemn them without knowing that not everyone who we see smiling is actually happy deep down, and thank God you were able to overcome that difficult moment in your life and also we need to learn to listen to people, check up on them, and offer help without waiting for them to ask if you have to help.

That is why it is not good for one to be quick to judge or condemn others, because they might be smiling while silently dealing with difficulties. Showing them kindness can make a difference and offering support can give them hope and remind them that they are not alone. This can encourage them to keep going, even when life gets tough. One thing people often overlook is that being kind is not enough, sometimes what people need most is someone who can listen to them.

The world is full of people who are going through difficulties and like you said one should be kind and give a listening ear if need be, I was seeing different status and quote from a friend few days back and I needed to ask if everything is okay and she said No. She even told me things that she said she was scared of sharing for the fear of being judged or criticized and that people might even decide to keep distance from her but I listened and till today she has been confiding in me.

People are just walking and smiling but deep down they are sad and one careless talk can make them feel bad about themselves and we should also check on people not all quote or status is for fun some are just a way of the person speaking out but hiding so people won't know what's going on and as a friend or family you need to reach out and be a shoulder to lean on, offer help if need be and listen to them too.

We are very comfortable with depression when we are sad and depressed repeatedly.We think that this is the norm of our life.Over time we become accustomed to depression.It can become a dangerous disease because when depression starts to seem normal we stop asking for help or expressing our happiness and think that it is necessary for our life.Everyone faces depression but we should not let it dominate us.Spend your life in happy and satisfying activities so that depression does not harm you more or separate others because in this a person is neither ready to talk to anyone nor share his sorrow with anyone.Grief eats us up inside.

The only way you can get rid of this is just to accept everything that is happening is part life. If you are just think what you are going through is not suppose to happen to you, you will definitely get depressed. 

In life their are hard times and you have no choice than to go through life because for sure hard times dont last forever, it is just only a phase. I know it is not easy but sometimes we have the power to control our mind not to allow some difficult time to be a burden to the mind.

Bad times come in every person's life, but people need to be more patient during these times. Everything has an end, just like bad times are not permanent, bad times will end and good times will come. But those who harm themselves during these bad times, those harms have a moral impact on their lives and there is no way to overcome its negative effects. There is no point in mentally upsetting yourself by overthinking, rather, you should focus on how to handle yourself and move forward even in difficult situations. A practical solution should be found, when people take drugs in their depression or during problems, can these drugs solve their problems? Never can, then why do they do such drugs despite the damage to their own bodies? And so you have to be patient and deal with the situation realistically, there is a solution to everything, and you have to find those solutions.

It's not that people who are depressed are comfortable with. Few weeks ago I was sad about something that got me thinking and bottled it up to myself and I fell into depression and even thought of not living anymore it was so bad as that.
I'll always advice someone to share their painful problems even if they have the fear of what people see them as. It is better you talk to someone than dieing in silence. That's what depression can actually do. And I'd say people should watch what they say to another person. You never can tell your words might lead one into depression.
