In Nigeria my country, it's like a culture that every independent individual to go out for the various bussinesses or higher institutions as a case may be. But there are some situations that appeared to be for an individual to carry. And sometimes it can lead to the breakdown of that individual either physically or mentally. This situation here is called stress.

My Definition of Stress

The word "Stress" may have different meaning to different people. But I would like to define it as a psychological breakdown as a result of overwork or occurrences one didn't expect to happen. Stress can occur when one is being worked out more than he used to do or his strength capacity. It is common for workers to say "I'm stressed" when they are back from their various businesses. This is because maybe your boss has added a work load they don't expect for that day. And students also have that common phrase in their mouth "I'm stressed". The reason is that they had experienced something they never expected. Stress can be caused by several factors like heartbreak, debt, death of love ones,etc.

My Experience

In one way or the other, you need to experience stress. I had experienced severe stress from late last year to early this year. The situation I found myself was debt. So this was how it started; I wanted to buy to buy a gadget called airpods but I didn't really have enough money to purchase it. I met someone who agreed to help sum up the money to buy and offered to buy the gadget for me.
But unfortunately, he didn't buy what I wanted. I was so angry at him but he begged me not to be angry and I should take it. I collected that product (A Bluetooth) with closed mind. But, few days later, it got stolen. I was angry to a point that I didn't want to pay his money.
But, deep inside, I felt that even he has cheated me but that shouldn't be a stepping ground for cheating him of his money. I didn't had money at that moment. So, I collected loan from a loan app to pay him. But, someone else introduced me to an online business that I will earn money daily. I was interested and invested all the money in it. The business turned out to be a Ponzi scheme and I was duped. Debts in two places was there for me to pay up. I didn't know what to do and at nights, I couldn't stop thinking thereby giving me sleepless night.

Is Sucide the only option?

According to @whizzbro4eva, Sucide is not and can never be an option. Sucide end your life not the stress. The option is that one should look for a way to end stress not your life on Sucide.

How to control or handle it(Stress)?

There are different ways to tackle stress. One of the ways of handling stress is to be calm. When people are stressed out, they tend to panic and be restless. But the way out is that you need to be calm. Another way is to seek for solution. In my case I have debts issue and the solution to it is money. I solved my stress issues by looking for sources of income and my family members's help. That was how I repaid my debts and overcome stress.
