I remember, how depressed I was wen I came back to naija. To make matters worst, I was always at home. Easy way for me to end it, bcuz I cudnt feel anything any more. My only option, was to end it. I've tried all my best to be successful in life.
But sometimes happened. #Threads
While still being depressed, I stood in front of d mirror staring at my reflection. Then I heard a tiny voice saying "look at u, how handsome ure. No one knows wat Ure going thru. But remember Great Men go thru great challenges. U were born to be Great. Don't Give Up!"
I brushed it off like it's nothing. But I heard d same voice again, saying "do u know how many people wanna be like u? Do u know how many people look up to u? If you end your life now, those people dat ure der strength will lose it & follow ur footsteps".
I became scared...
I remembered folks dat I've encouraged, counseled, Advice & Helped to overcome der challenges. I remembered my nephews & nieces dat look up to me. I remembered my mum dat forgone her youthful lifestyle, just to provide for myself & siblings. D decision I was about to take...
Would be disastrous. No, I couldn't allow d devil to win. I fought battles from my mother's womb. I should have been dead long ago, but here I am standing. D devil knows I was born for Greatness. With d last strength in me, I asked God to help me. With tears rolling down my eyes.
Something miraculous happened. God heard me and came through. He placed people in my life to help me get out of this. Though, they weren't aware of my challenges, but God was up to something. Today, I survived a near death syndrome called "Depression".
I started studying my Bible. Trust me, it help alot bcuz God kept in guiding me. I know it's not easy. I've been der b4. Only 2 people can help u. God & yourself. No man can get u out of it.
Depression is a battlefield.
Don't ever give up, till you conquer.
For everyone going thru different stages of depression, I pray that God Almighty come thru for y'all like He did for me.
Without Him, I'd have been dead long ago.
Hang in there Champ!
You'll win this with God by your sideβ
