People are important

People are really important to us. Go out there, socialize, make worthy friends. Be inspired by Leroy Okoni.

Erotomania -a dilusional disorder-

Erotomania is a type of delusional disorder where the affected person believes that another person is in love with him or her. This belief is usually applied to someone with higher status or a famous person, but can also be applied to a complete stranger.

Edit

The core symptom of the disorder is that the sufferer holds an unshakable belief that another person is secretly in love with them. In some cases, the sufferer may believe several people at once are "secret admirers." The sufferer may also experience other types of delusions concurrently with erotomania, such as delusions of reference, wherein the perceived admirer secretly communicates his or her love by subtle methods such as body posture, arrangement of household objects, and other seemingly innocuous acts (or, if the person is a public figure, through clues in the media). Erotomanic delusions are typically found as the primary symptom of a delusional disorder or in the context of schizophrenia and may be treated with atypical antipsychotics.

Give it your TITLE

It starts like a drop of tear and gradually graduates into lots of tears mixed up with nose fluid that gets all your make over messed up. 

It starts off with a single harmless thought of why, what, when then navigates the thought which was harmless to being harmful. 

The bubbling and joyful me would never be associated with such a devastating thing. No, it ain't possible.

But then, as much as I had this thought about me, I never really knew what was coming.

My story goes like this. I was really hopeful that all my plans will come through. In short, I had it all figured out. The what, why, how and when question was all answered and to the best of my knowledge, with how critical I can be when I'm trying to make a plan or figure something out, my plans should never fail, afterall, I prayed to God about it and I know my ideas come from Him alone. 

In my super excited and glittering mood, I can do almost anything to make another person happy because yes, I was hopeful. The future has a lot to offer. 

Weeks and months went through and it seemed like there was no need to be hopeful. I looked for my faith but couldn't find it. I started looking for it the moment I allowed my thoughts take a better part of me in the sense that at this particular time, my thoughts were more of doubt than the usual hope, faith and trust. 

It lingered on and on and then the unusual with me happened, *DEPRESSION*. 

Can I blame anyone for it? Can I put the blame on government or my leaders? Can I blame the church? Of course No. 

Many times we tend to look for excuses and put our misfortunes on others just to feel good that it's not our fault. Truth is, we are the ones who get ourselves into the fix we usually find ourselves in and we should get ourselves out of it. 

It's not as easy as it sounds but it's POSSIBLE. 

How?

*Realize that you are over reacting to the issue at hand. You weren't the first neither will you be the last to go through this but how you handle it will determine how well this and other things will work for you.

*Depend and abide on God and His Word totally. When you do this in sincerity of heart even with how difficult it can be, you feel less burdened. 

*Remind yourself of His promises and believe in yourself daily. If you were made in His image and He says you are a god, there's certainly nothing you can't achieve. It's just a matter of time.

*Restrategize, have faith, be hopeful, trust in the abilities God has given you, keep on at it, never give up, never give in to doubts cause it only leads to depression.

*Have the right company. People that can encourage you even when you feel like giving up not people who'll discourage you when you're down.

These are just few tips on how I stepped out of it.

We just got into the second part of the year and I'm so sure a lot of us have not had all things work out the way we envisaged when we came into 2017. Never mind, you didn't get it the first half doesn't mean you wouldn't tomorrow. DON'T GIVE UP ON YOUR DREAMS OR PLANS, IT WILL WORK OUT JUST FINE.

Happy New Month.

I rest my case.

My Thoughts.
