Suicide & Depression


Depression is some of the leading sickness in the world. This can be caused by trauma and stress surrounding us. We tend to be put under pressure, especially from work and stress for being put under the pressure for wanting better performance.


Many have been through depression. The syptoms include:


  • Feeling miserable/ guilty all the time

  • Feel as if life isn't worth living

  • Feel lost of hope or despair

  • Feeling irritable

  • Lack of confidence

  • Don't have a social life anymore

  • Feeling scared of abandonment

  • Change in eating habit

I know what depression is like as my close family member has encountered this problem. It is sad to see that they have such mood swings and they attempt to let out their emotions on you. I have been through a phase where life has become unbearable, a feeling of drowning in a dark, cold pool of shadows. Where one lies there and wait for their life to pass by.


Normal people chitter and chat around them, they lose interest in it. One loses interest in Life itself. The very existence and presence of themselves annoys them and they wish that they would just fade away, into the darkness of death, where solitude takes hold of them.


Suicide has become the extreme phase of depression, where one has lost all hope of ever returning back to the normal life. Guilt, despair, desperation, stress and etc, leads to this very last phase. One wants to leave the depressing life and go to the darkness where it will comfort them.


Many teenagers also suffer from this problem. Hope is not lost, counselling services and medication can help to suppress these thoughts of death and sorrow. Take great care to help that some one you know that is suffering from this problem.
