Despite she was gone, I prayed my her soul be accepted in the place of rest and guess what she appeared to me that it was her time iii shouldn’t be worried . She just came a short while to the world. The prayer also helped me not to think much about her demise and focus on facing the real life.

I used natural anti-depressant

Natural anti-depressant such as fun and engagement were the tips I used to overcome the depression.

A lot of people go for hard drugs and even smoke substance that will make them stop thinking about a situation but the negative effect of using those things are harmful to health and when you come back to your normal senses, the thought comes again, if you continue with that you become addicted to the substance.

Never stay alone or idle when depressed

Whenever you are depressed, idleness or loneliness is not an option, get engaged with activities, if you sleep alone, you can invite a friend to come stay with you. Not just an ordinary friend but the one who will help you in managing the situation.

Depression has done more harm than good. It is only when we allow ourselves to be carried away that it might be disastrous. Say no to depression and move on with your real self.
