WE DIE IN SILENCE

Madam,

We live in a world full of sad people, the word generation is not relevant because it only includes a certain number of people, yet the sadness I’m talking about is everywhere regardless of age. Everyone is going through something big or small. a problem is a problem and every problem is worthful because it has an impact on a person’s life. We should note that just because our problems seem bigger, does not mean that smaller problems ain’t worthful.

The problem with people is that they think that just because you’re a Christian wealthy person or a celebrity, counsellor or a leader or an  influential person, you got everything figured out, yet that is not the case, we all have problems. A problem is defined as a state of difficulty that needs to be resolved, so tell me what gives you the power to undermine other people’s situations? It is one problem to another, if it is not a family problem, it is a personal matter school, work, life in general, even at national level. Life is indeed a journey!

We live in times where we suffer in silence, not because there are no places or people to seek help from but we feel like they are not conducive enough. Nowadays there are rare people to confide in, even your closest friends or relatives tend to be untrustworthy. You confidently share your thoughts, feelings and experiences with someone you trust but then they later betray you, betrayal from a close person hits different, they gossip about you and turn you into a laughing stock, not realising the impact that has on your well-being.

You open up to someone instead of getting help you’re judged (people are judgemental) or they brush you off since other people’s hardships are taken lightly, it is only when they experience the same problem that they realise your sincerity Some even go to the extent of using your experiences against you, don’t you think you build sadness in a person when you rub their problems in their face? We choose to bottle up things because people have not given us a chance to express ourselves without fear of anything.

One could ask then why we don’t get professional help like counsellors or therapists or psychologist, personally, I’d say some problems are beyond even professional help. Mental health workers are trained to help people, but one thing we tend to forget is that they are also humans, no one is perfect, no one does their work effectively everytime. Some people experience problems repeatedly, they become a cycle; a person’s mind works in a way that, if something happens repeatedly the mind and body then becomes immune to help you get counselling and heal, the every same situation comes again, you seek professional help and heal again, the problem becomes a sequence, Don’t you think that the person will get tired? One thing we also forget is that our minds and bodies work differently, something that can help someone else cannot be effective to another person, you can go for counselling even attend dozens of therapy sessions but still get no help.
