Good and Hard times are not static.

You can try your skills on fiverr etc, can even make some yt channels - look through the succesfull journeys here on bhw and i am sure you will find your new goal.

But trust me money will not bring happiness that you seek. Its just we always say that if i would have that n that etc.

Its because of the emptiness you feel inside. Do some yoga to refresh your mind - it will help in many ways.

Help those people who are below your level.Its not about monetary help but help anyone that needs it and then look into their eyes and you will feel alot of love this world has yet to offer you.

If you are good in physic, try sports and gym - it will help in relaxing the mind and who knows if you will be the next athlete or body builder :P

Look around, there are many disabled people who lives their life joyfully. So its not about girl or money or luxury.

Living Life itself is an art and you gotta learn that. watch videos of sadhguru on youtube and thank me later :)
 
I feel like you bro. Imagine I made games all year and nobody played them. Tried to promote on social media, zero results. Tried to post on youtube videos, they always delete my comments. i had an youtube account back in 2012 and i remember i uploaded funny clips on it and had like 30k+ views a day without promotion without nothing... nowadays is almost impossible, i create my own content from scratch good looking and all and no views... I feel like a completely loser lol. I wake up at 6 to go to work, come back home in the evening, then i continue working hard on games and apps and improve my coding ( i learned javascript this year and started learning python), i barely sleep 1 hour a night. probably i'll go crazy sooner than later lol. at this point i have no idea what can I do to succeed and ofcourse life seems pointless.
 
Everyone goes through depression sometimes in their life. Just dont be foolish and kill yourself. You could fall into hell and might suffer even more. Ignore ur problems. Keep working and stay happy. Best wishes.
 
Hey. I can't say I share your pain because nobody one earth will ever do that, but I feel in the obligation to tell you that you came into this world for a reason and I can assure you, it was for good. I know that times can be ridiculously hard sometimes, but just remember, the sun shines behind every cloud. Don't ever lose your hope, just stand up and face life because only God knows how strong you are!
 
1. Make sure you do something.

2. Learning new skills can be helpfull and will come handy. Go to https://www.freecodecamp.org/ it is free to join, learn coding and get a free certificate. New skills, especially in coding will increase your chances to get hired (online and locally).

3. Build a portfolio website (free on google sites or elsewhere), add your creations and promote your site on social media.

4. Join LinkedIn, create a profile and search for jobs there (I got invited for 2 online interviews this week, one for a local company and another for a remote SEO job)

5. There are many other places to look for online jobs, just search for remote job positions.

6. Try microjob sites like picoworker, microworker (not pay much but it is start)

7. As a freelancer go with creating gigs on Fiverr, SeoClerks, and smaller ones, Freelancer is too crowded, Upwork and TopTal are hard to be chosen but if good enough will earn a lot more. Build a portfolio and ask for reviews when job is done. Always provide mock ups and samples even if not asked for it.
 
Humor, a lot of exercise, limit contact with negative people, spend time in nature, find purpose.
 
26 is such an age . in my life too i have gone through this stage.
In this age group, you feel totally disconnected with your life as you were struggling to get mature and looking for life partner.
Dont switch to more high paying jobs if you cannot concentrate on a basic small job. I mean do your small job which can keep enough food for you on table for 3-5 months. later your many ooportunities will open up with your health being better
 
If you have nothing to lose in Nigeria, pack your bags and migrate to another country with more opportunities.

When I was on the train in Germany on my way to Berlin, I met a person from India. He was very poorly off in India because of the caste system. One day he packed his few things and just walked to Europe through countless countries. Today he works in Germany as a cook and earns enough money to feed his family.

Everything is possible - good luck my friend

Hey, but you said that you wake up at 6 to go to work? just concentrate on your day job for the moment while learning about what you can do to promote your games.

I won't advise anyone to take that trip through the desert, there are many dangers and many guys die in the Mediterranean trying to get in Europe.
 
This guy got it.

You dont need any goddamn books.

First and foremost, fix what is happening within you. Your thoughts and emotion. Its so simple. Your thoughts and emotion can go wherever you want them to. All you have to do is just realise suicide is also a thought for you right now. You just gotta see it yourself. And earning a living is no big deal for a human. I mean basic necessities.

Why not leave Nigeria for something better? Moving to US/Top EU might be hard, but countries from Eastern Europe i'm sure you can manage find a job.

yeah its also very expensive to migrate from africa to europe. But maybe another countrie in Africa could be a good option?

I don't know about Africa, but maybe South Africa could be a good option? these are more western oriented and have a lot of international companies
 
That's the story of most third world country citizen's. Be it india, china, Nigeria or any other third world country.
Most of them are in depression. Worst thing is that you are laughed at if you say you got mental health issues.

Wow sounds like me lol, I am too suffering in india.
Even tho my issue is not related to caste system.

Go where you are treated best, just because you are born somewhere doesn't mean you are surgically attached to that land.

And what makes you think that depression is a phenomenon specific only to third world countries? I don't think China should be on your list by the way. If you think China is a third world country you clearly haven't been.
 
Hello guys, i know this is not an health forum but i do know that some of us here, might have passed this phase already.

I'm 26, A graduate of estate valuation in Nigeria.

Graduated with 2:1 which isn't bad compared to other grades.

I graduated in 2015. it's been 5 years now, yet i couldn't land a single job (here in Nigeria, you need to know someone who will recommend you for a job, fortunately i come from a poor family, as such, i don't know any influential person who will give me a letter of recommendation.)

I decided to go Online, probably I'll make some money.

Tried affiliate networks, but seems like Nigerians have been blacklisted by almost all the Networks (tried using Chrome VPN extensions, still without success of getting into ClickBank).

Right now, I feel like I'm a failure as no one respects me in the family anymore (Including my siblings).

Lately, throughout this week, all I've been thinking of, is Taking my own life.

I know it's not the reasonable thing to do, but i feel like i will be relieved of my pains and suffering i'm going through right now.

I'll be Grateful if i could get some advice on how to stop these thoughts going on in my head.
I can relate .. feeling just that same here ...useless country
