WhatsApp,The Medicine For The Heartbroken.

Pain has become our everyday meal but the fact is that we don't tell it out.Life is full of ups and downs. Harrassments, peer pressure and also other factors have left some people feeling isolated, victimised and also insecure.

It is clearly evident that we are a depressed generation hiding behind jokes, weed and also memes while deep inside pain is becoming unbearable. People are silently battling depression and afraid of being judged, misunderstood and avoided.

It's not all about addiction on social media, but many people...moreso youths and to be specific comrades have found it somehow nice to spend most of their times on WhatsApp viewing memes and also flirting with their friends only to hide and avoid their real emotions.

Poor concentration, feelings of excessive gult or self-worth, hopelessness about the future, thoughts about dying or suicide, disrupted sleeps, changes in appetite or weight and feeling especially low is all what occupies most of us. And now memeloading has become the only way to 'assume' these feelings.

At least on WhatsApp one can get companionship of others and that's all what we need to thrive in life. It can also bring a huge impact on our mental health and happiness. Being socially connected to others(friends) can ease stress, anxiety and depression. Also, it can boost self-wealth, provide comfort and joy and also help in avoiding loneliness.

Sometimes it reaches a point where our problems becomes difficult to tell. Some of us are socialized to internalize feelings rather than giving a voice to them. Other feelings like how you think you're perceived can feel so overwhelming that you can't even get the motivation to talk them out.

 Emotions are little harder to fix, not like a car that has just broken down. There is no Wrench you can even grab, or repair shop you can take your feelings to. It's your duty to learn on how to handle your episodes of depression and feelings of heartbreak.

The only thing which can be done is talking about the feelings. But, to whom are you gonna share your feelings with? People are busy out here and concerned with their  own issues, not even one of your friends can genuinely listen to your story.

It is true that talking about the issue has also psychological benefits that might not be obvious. But since it doesn't work at all, we therefore declare Whatsapp as the home of all solutions.
