THE SUDDEN WAVE OF DEPRESSION.
Today I want to write on Depression. It has become a thing of great concern to me on the prevalent rate of suicides I read everyday on the news. This week alone I've read 3 cases of suicides, both succeeded and failed attempts. A young boy, Segun was reported to have drank a bottle of Sniper, a deadly insecticide, all because he failed his Jamb examination. I also read of 20 year old Chukwuemeka Akachi, a final year student of English department, University of Nigeria Nsukka, who committed suicide after drinking 2 bottles of Sniper. He left behind a suicidal note. I'm so touched to the marrow whenever I read such news, yes I've been there before, so I can tell you firsthand how draining it can be. I've even tried going suicidal for more than twice. Yes this is me telling you my frank story. Depression can happen to anyone anytime. I encourage people a lot and try being there for them but the sad thing is people like me are often seen strong yet
