Why are you upset, what causes you to be depressed?

They was a day one of our close neighbor that wanted packing to a new apartment which she just paid for, she came to our house to beg me to accompany her to this new apartment and put some things in order that it won't take much of my time since I was less busy I decided to go with her though the reason I didn't decline her request is because she is an elderly woman and on getting there, we checked the house and surrounding it was okay, I taught it was time to go back until she ask me to go a get some plant nursery she kept in back yard of the house let just transplant it at ones since am there to help her after that she requested I should do some cleaning before we go that's what got me upset because she never told me about all this before moreover it wasn't me that was supposed to be doing that am just trying to help but instead she wants to play fool of me,despite the smile in my face in some of the pictures I can just say it was all fake or maybe amam just trying to hide my feelings then

What advice would you give to those who are very depressed to overcome their depression??

My candid advice to those who are soaked in depression is as follows...

• first of all take proper good care of your health, Self-care is any activity that we do deliberately in order to take care of our mental, emotional, and physical healthno matter what take care of yourself.

• try to associate yourself with other people by sharing your issues and problem troubling you with the right person in this way you can be able find help and solutions to your problem and challenges easily.

• they is always a solution to depression don't die in silence or overthinking let go of things troubling our mind otherwise you will develop heart disease and other health challenges from depression.

• Improving your diet could be key to reducing your symptoms and staying healthy it might be the key to reduce depression and improving your mood.

• If your stress is getting out of control you have to reduce it otherwise it will cause chronic depression.

• Keeping in touch with friends and family means you have someone to talk to when you feel low and depressed.
