Ok. I deleted my first NL account (created 2011) last month, I was depressed then, same with my Facebook account (5years old), and ask.fm.

It would be cool to have a group off NL, we can create a group on G+ and have a weekly/monthly hang-out, or those that are into chatting can exchange whatsapp id/BBM pin, we could skype too! it would be fun (i guess).
Guess what? grin grin

I found my medication, it was just right under my nose and suddenly I feel a bit lighter like I am high on something, might be the holy spirit smiley

Oh and by the way, I like your signature.....so on point.

Yep. It's a lyrics from a musical (performed by Rachael Pattelern), can't remember the title though. I love the lines, It's the perfect description of what everybody wants, but then again, we can't have it.

Wat am i talking about,H20,also cald water,it has bin known 4centuries 2b a universa5 solvent,just because it change virtualy everytin just lyk d touch of human,dnt b offended ceein me comparin water 2human,it is becos it always leaves a note of presence b4 it absence and 2me dat is d main atribute 2distinguish between livin and non living,d ability 2appear and dis-appear.

Howeva,dat baffles me not has 2d ability of water 2clean virtualy everytin,ave u sin anytin kept clean witot avin one of ingredient bin water?

Water despite bin a universal solvent and as explaind,cleanin every tin,cannot disolve itself neither can it clean itself,a bowl of unclean water added 2a clean one wil only b mixture and nt a clean mixture...

Again water quenche man's taste,but water is unable 2satisfy d urge 2it taste,atleast 4 once let it drink 4rm herself,NO...

Water despite havin d ability 2begin a journey of her own it has no god 2stop on her except wit d commandment of my Lord 2ru manmade blokage...

Phder: @Bettermike. Nonsense. If you've ever been depressed you would understand better. If you don't know what people are going through, telling them you feel their pain is wrong, it's just like mocking them.

You think it's an "habit" to feel sad all the time? Nonsense.
Dumb post but i'll try to respond anyways. Well, i have been depressed many times in my life. As a matter of fact, i have a huge catalog of suicide systems (death with ease) at my disposal, many of which i agressively sourced from the internet. From carbonmonoxide poisoning, to the orthodox hanging system and the rest, i got it all. I could help you with some if you insist on taking your life. I can vividly remember my very first episode at 3. You want more? Mteew! Dude, you seem to be enjoying the idea of being identified with a disease. Afterall, your cheap disease is about to get you hooked. Aint it? Smh 4 u.

you better do boy. Next time, you wont brand someone else's post with 'Nonsense' the way you did.

Ok, you want my attention, and now you've gotten it.

Your initial post lacks sense, why on earth would you assume it's an habit to be depressed? Depression is a medical condition, saying depression is an "habit" is just like saying cancer is an habit, how does that sound to your hearing? Silly right? That's how your assumption sounded when I read your post.

I won't resolve into insulting you, am trained to behave better than that, hence I won't exchange words with you. I AM INTELLECTUALLY CAPABLE THAN YOU, judging from the gibberish you wrote up there.

The word "nonsense" is not insulting to a civilised individual, it's just an expression of my view on what you wrote, I see no reason why you should flare up the way you did. You went over the line by insulting my personality, have some respect please and learn some social etiquette.


I am very sure your depression as you claimed is a result of over thinking, probably due to poverty or loneliness. Get a life you scumbag.

people go through thing differently and no one's experience is more valid than the others!!

Taken from this thread:

https://www.nairaland.com/1200941/18-million-nigerians-mentally-ill
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[size=16pt]About18 million Nigerians representing 12 percent of the nation’s 150 million population require medical attention[/size] on mentalrelated ailments, a United Kingdom-based Nigerian Consultant Psychiatrist and CEO of Snapse Services, Dr Vincent Udenze, has said.

Udenze spoke yesterday at a one-day interactive session on improving the role of the family in mental health care held in Abuja. He, however, said there could have been a drastic decline in the figure but for lateness in diagnosis and treatment.

Dr. Udenze listed possible causes of mental disease to include addiction to drug and alcohol and excessive depression, noting that families of affected persons have basic roles to play in ensuring prompt diagnosis and treatment for people living with the disorder. While calling on private investors to come into the rescue in the country, he expressed displeasure with public attitude towards the patients, saying: “Those with diabetics go on the street, we don’t stigmatise them.

Those with high blood pressure go to work, we don’t stigmatise them. We talk about those people with mental disorder badly when they are actually someone dear to us; when they are actually members of some particular families.

“Unfortunately, when we say mental illness, most of us jump into conclusion and think of the man on the street, the person we call the mad man; we stigmatize him. That is a lady or gentleman who had been unfortunately let down by the society because he is ill, no one cares for him or her; she is left there on the street. In some cultures, they even get abused, Molested.

There is thinking that if you sleep with a mad woman, you can make some money. So, society abuses them. All of us as Nigerians, what are we doing about this?
” He added that families are often stigmatized along with the patients after a cure is achieved, and that such stigmatization could last for generations.

According to him, mental disorder did not mean that the person on the street could not be healed. Udenze said that services of professionals should be sought to save the patients from the disease. Mental illness, he said, is manageable like diabetics and hypertension, among others, stressing that early diagnosis and treatment was the best way to treating

NONSENSE! Yes, i insist Depression is a disease that results from a habit. Take it or leave it. You can allow those cheap authors to fool you more (comparing depression to the likes of cancer). And am sure your big nose did not block your tiny eyes when i also mentioned that DEPRESSION IS A DISEASE. *back to issue*. Just like alcoholism results from a habit of drinking too much alcohol; Depression likewise results from a habit of sadness. Again, just like drunkeness doesnt infect the drunk, depression results from allowing yourself to be continually sad (resulting from any significant loss of parent or job or fortune or any frustrating event for that matter). And just as i earlier recommended, you do not need drugs to get out of depression. All you need do is change the habit that's feeding the disease. I.e. Sadness.

Yes, I am asking to be pampered because I am vulnerable so?? it is better to take bottles to smash others' heads??
You are demeaning , condescending and verbally and emotionally abusive so I see that people wanting t be treated with kindness are an issues with you.
For years I had to fight people's thinking like you, people belittling my experience just for the fun of it, I wont passively take it anymore, I dont owe you to suffer in a way that comforts YOU.
I know what depression has taken from me, I have nothing to prove to you and it is none of your business really!
Your words are extremely CRUEL!!
They contribute to the general ignorance about a very serious matter and had to the guilt of those suffering with depression and anxiety!!
This is not a pissing match or who is right and who is wrong, this is about THE LIFE A SOME PEOPLE who may feel like their life is pointless and here you come telling them that it is 'simply a habit to sad' when depression does DAMAGE THE BRAIN!

You're merely trying to be smart. Look, let me even be blunt. Depression should not be included as a mental illness sef. If you disagree, i dare you to tell me how it is a mental illness as it compares to Mania, Schizophrenia and the rest. Unless you want to ignorantly call alcoholism (drunkeness) or narcotics are also forms of mental illnesses. Am waiting.
