At times it seems that one's life is a failure and everything is down, down, down. Feelings of depression set in and cause the downward spiral to become worse and worse. Triggered by a major setback or a series of unfortunate events, the overall effect can be debilitating.
Being down can manifest as a see-saw effect. Okay some days, depressed some days. It's a sick feeling to look into the future only to find no end in sight. Even if one is on the road to recovery, it's not a straight line going up. It's like a stock market graph going up and down. Relapses and flashbacks of down feelings happen if triggered.
What can cause it? The loss of a loved one or loved ones through death, divorce, accident, illness or any cruel factor. Failure in relationships, career growth, financial and material accumulation, or inability to achieve success in any way defined. Feeling less successful in life compared to one's family members, friends, peers, seniors and juniors. Stressed out by toxic environment and poisonous people. Receiving a major shock from bad news.
Left unchecked, these feelings of uselessness and negativity can drive a person towards suicide. Yes, the intention to end it all can manifest because one feels like a burden to society, family, and people. That's why it's very important to have at least one trusted person to talk to if one reaches this stage in life.
If you feel down and want to end your life because you can't see a way out, please pause for a while. Ask for help from someone you can trust. Seek help when you need it. Find someone you can talk to in confidence.
