DePressIoN NEEDS YOU ! - by Loic Bethel Dje

At the beginning of last month, I launched a census on depression.Thank you for your responses. They have already served more than you can imagine. But the trigger was not academic. There were readings, re-readings, and prayers — not recitals. It was personal.It carried the face of a very close friend.Depression is a heavy reality. Yet what deeply challenges me is this: sometimes we give that label the power to explain all our misfortunes… except our refusal to rise. Pain deserves to be heard, but amazingly identity must never merge with the fall.“Why, my soul, are you downcast? Why so disturbed within me? Put your hope in God.” — Psalm 42:6 The deeper danger is often the decline in the search for useful truth. We can help by transmitting sound information and appropriate solutions.It is also urgent to cleanse our hearts, thoughts, and souls from the vices on which this distress feeds. Scripture is full of examples: Elijah, Moses, Job, even Jesus. But beyond everything, the purpose remained.Dear young people, let us flee the fantasy and irony of constant “I’m fine.” Social media will always feed our desires… and contradict us at the same time. But Christ is life and He does not strip us of life. Let us be good partners and friends to one another.Help each other to heal.And allow ourselves to be helped.There is a moment when compassion must become impulse. A moment when tears must meet decision. As Rising does not erase the battle whilst staying down prolongs it. Let’s all speak with dignity and truth, compassion and responsibility. Because light does not insult the night — it passes through it. Depression may explain your pain, but it must not become your identity. You can acknowledge the darkness and still choose to rise.
