Reason Why Some Get Depressed

None of these things I’ll ever say is exceptional, I’m just here to speak my mind out loud on what many have faced and are still facing. Some people get depressed over material things and things they can’t control. A famous quote says, “If you are depressed, you are living in the past. If you are anxious, you are living in the future. If you are at peace, you are living in the present.”
Let’s talk about how most of us think about happiness:
HAPPINESS AND PEACE
Most people feel that when we have the things we wish for, we’ll be happy:-Yes, definitely I will be glad when I live in my dream
Most people think that you’re at peace when things are working your way:- Yes, definitely, I will be at ease when the things I believe in finding peace in happens
Why some of us get depressed:
Some say they are depressed because they are broke, made some life mistakes, haven’t achieved something they planned to achieve. To some, all of these are reasonable points to be depressed, I agree and also disagree. We all wish the good things happen to us fast, but we fail to understand some concepts about life on how to live in peace and happiness
To me, I believe we don’t need to have all we wished for before we’re happy or tackle depression of not having money, people can find happiness in the things they have now.
Giving some scenarios:
For an entrepreneur who makes 50k a day and with a current net worth of 10million Naira, hoping to buy a mansion worth of 50million Naira this year, buy a car, and also diversify to make more all because you have mates that achieved it, those things haven’t happened then you get depressed now let’s be realistic with your current net-worth and your daily income that cannot acquire this even in the next year. Unless you increase your earnings (I don’t know what works for you, I’m not here to motivate, and I’m not a motivational speaker)
For those who are still studying and equally unemployed who complain about being broke and get depressed over it because many of your classmates are living your dream, let's be realistic you’re not meant to have any money, so you should be broke always because you don’t work unless you start working ( I don’t have work for you I’m not here to talk about jobs)
Some believe in the concept of getting rich overnight, and for this reason they begin to feel more depressed when this hasn’t happened. It will never happen, and if it happens, then your luck.
It takes proper planning to make things happen you don’t need to get depressed, find happiness in the little you have. Don’t stress what you have no power to control, and if you do figure it out rather than get depressed over it. The moment we realise these things, we can tackle a vast in it.
The wish will happen, but depression won’t get solved when the habit of not making oneself happy with the things we have , wanting more of what we already had will always take away our happiness unless we control it.
