A colleague called me a while ago asking how she could get antidepressants. Another friend of mine said he's just finally got out of depression. Someone spoke wth me yesterday wanting me to attend to a mutual friend of ours who is stressed out. All of these coupled with the number of cases of depression I have to deal with daily, I am begining feel that everyone is depressed.O yeah, I went to bed out of sorts the other night because "we" lost the game. Everyone is depressed.
I can't say why, but seems it's sometimes quite a task keeping up with the fast pace that life has become in our generation. Goals,deadlines and desires of life that require our stretch everytime. And there are bills too - this loan-based modern financing approach makes slaves out of people you know. Man's drift towards wanting more; money, position, possession and the outright damn folly in the heart of some have left many a mind warped. People lose their sleep, their eyes akin to over-flooded dams at bed time, they fight to concentrate on hitherto routines, bark at friends and family, enclosing themselves into a shell of solitude as they become worthless to themselves and everyone else. Alone and depressed. The zest for life is gone. Suicide becomes an option.
If the reins of life are not handled delibrately, it's almost natural, everyone tending towards it, everyone getting depressed.
Funny enough I have also been depressed lately.
ReplyDeleteI think part of the solution is to focus not on us but others. And to talk to others if you feel you are heading down the depression road, dont go down it alone
ReplyDeleteI like the way Tomi puts it, the path of the depressed is very lonely.So I hope Apple has spoken to someone already by now.
