According to her;
"If you have anger issues, I mean hot temper, the kind that would never go away except you take out your vexation on something or someone, darling you have mental illness.
If you feel bittered or saddened to the extent of inflicting injury on yourself, you gat mental illness
If you are out of touch with reality, you are paranoid, hallucinations, delusions. Your thought patterns are dysfunctional. The mood swing never ends. That is mental illness.
If you recognize any of these traits I mentioned and because of fear of being stigmatized you refused to align with the truth, you are doing yourself a great harm.
Mental illness can be inherited or acquired. Intense trauma can give one mental illness, poverty, living a hectic lifestyle can give one mental illness. Just like asthma, sickle cell anemia, diabetes, ulcer and all kind of sicknesses. The brain too gets sick, its cells need pills to function properly, so there are pills for these illnesses.
Please if you fall under any of these categories by all means get medical attention, somebody just died. This wouldn't have happened if she was on drugs."
Well done Cha cha for the enlightenment.
ReplyDeleteWay to go. May you reach complete recovery from this illness.
Chai...
DeleteWhat I don't get is why the brother gave a different report from what his sister has been giving us
This woman don they talk waiting dey enter me head.... I need help
ReplyDeleteMay God heal you Charity
ReplyDeleteAll lagosians are......cos they are angry all the time
ReplyDeleteEspecially those that are on white collar jobs. The traffic is hell. God help all of us, Omega 3 helps a lot too
Delete๐๐๐๐ no be lie. Na our hectic life cause am.
DeleteI think I'm a victim of traffic anger๐ฎ
DeletePeace...anger on the wheels in Lagos is a must na. Sometimes people release tension from honking unnecessarily,it's highly draining.
DeleteThe abuses nko? Hmmm
May God heal and set you free Cha Cha.
ReplyDeleteMay the Lord heal you completely and permanently in Jesus name.
ReplyDeleteI remember telling my Gp to give me drugs them nearly call social services for me they didn’t know that’s what we call medication in Nigeria ๐คฃ๐คฃ
ReplyDeleteLmao!
DeleteHahaha ๐๐
DeleteOr Nigerians walk into a clothing store and the vendora go like "do you guys care for bogus pants?" ๐คจ
DeleteThey'll echo "bogus pants ke"๐๐
Pant is trouser for a Nigerian anywhere.
Mental illness is real
ReplyDeleteI am telling you . Meanwhile , we have a few of them here in the co ment section hiding under religion, tribe and misogyny.
Delete.
The ones here seems like marijuana is their undoing.
DeleteOnce they drag one or two wraps,they pick their phones and start posting comments,as early as 7am fa๐
Just to add to her lidt: when you start hearing voices thinking it is God, that for sure is a sign of mental illness, or seeing 'angels' na mental illness be that in fact, Schizophrenia.
ReplyDeleteChacha why you dey make yourself ambassador for mad people?
ReplyDeleteLet me tell you, people that are truly mad does not know they’re mad. So for you to keep telling us you’re mad means that you’re okay. You are very sane and if you think you can use this fake madness to commit crime and go free ehn, nne, i ga agariri nga, I will personally make sure you pay for your crime PERIOD! Ogini di ifea
Fan Emmanuel
Another angle to it. You may be right judging from the stories I've read about her and her hubby
DeleteJeez!!! people like you re the reason some persons find it hard to open up and get help. She did no wrong but to state some of the symptoms associated with mental health illness and you re making a joke of it.
Deletesmh.
Kidjo avoid me please. Her brother said she’s mentally well only for her to come and say she inherited madness from their mom and her innocent daughters will inherit the madness for what na? Have you been to a psychiatric hospital before? Mad people will be screaming I’m not mad I’m not mad and the doctors will ask the nurses to chain them very well, they are the real mad people. Anybody constantly telling you he/she is mad is very ok. Probably trying to commit crime and get away with it.
DeleteFan Emmanuel
@Fan Emmanuel, I thought you were more enlighten than what you just said above. Or someone typed for you. Mental illness is not only when you pull clothe and enter road/Market. There are different types. Just as fertility issues are of different types, STD are different types, Cancer- different types, same with Brain illness, pls google is your Friend not police, She wont end up there. God bless her husband and keep her family in Jesus name. Please everyone take care of your Brain pls, eat foods that help the brain, be happy always, have friends/families you relate with on a daily basis, share your challenges even if it is on this platforms as anonymous (so people dont use it to mock you tomorrow which will further cause your mental illness). Dance, laugh, play, reduce stress, stay away from anything/one that causes you stress, know that any problem that dont kill you and you still breath - THERE IS HOPE EVEN WHEN THERE SEEMS TO BE NO HOPE!!!
DeleteFan, another point u raised. We dey observe her
Deleteare you minding the stupid illiterate called fan...very local fool, ignorant thing....your type is why the stigma continues.
DeletePeople who lack empathy have a mental illness. Fan seriously need evaluation. So because she spoke out and mentioned her mum and her family like any other typical Nigerian family are trying to hide the truth from the world so the brother comes out to debunk her story and because you hate her like you hate everybody else, she is lying.
DeleteSeriously Stella, Fan need evaluation, something is missing within her. Please post so she can get help.
If you are ignorant of a topic, its better you just stay silent over it instead of making a mockery of ppl going through it....Everything shld not be cruise, joke. And people suffering mental illness are not all "mad" as you call u it. Either must they be chained or tear their clothes and enter mkt.....A high functioning bank executive can be suffering mental illness i.e the co-owner of Bukka dat recently committed suicide. They are so many forms of mental illness, pls educate yourself.
Delete@Fan.
Deleteno I won't avoid you, it's better I enlighten you here so you change your mindset so you won't go outside to utter such words and disgrace this our association of BVNs with this kind yeye talk.
Yes, I've been to psychiatric hospitals countless times.
Fan, please educate yourself
DeleteFan I dแป too stubborn. If you don't know something, don't come and be talking like you're an authority on it. Accept correction sometimes. You can't have the last say everytime and your voice must not be louder than everyone's own.
DeleteYou know nothing about mental illness so sit back and learn
@ Fan ๐ณ๐ฒ๐ฏ๐ฎ๐ง
Delete15:49 she knows nothing about nothing.
DeleteIt is well with you, Charity.
ReplyDeleteKai! It's well oh
ReplyDeleteProblem shared is half solved. May God heal you my dear.
ReplyDeleteI have been battling mild mental issues, caused by people taking advantage of me as a teenager; serious trust issues, unable to relax & form bonds with people…but surrounding myself with loving people has made all the difference… I don’t need medication
ReplyDeleteIt is well with you..Keep surrounding yourself with positive energy
DeleteU have done well. Not all issues are psychiatric which need drugs. Some are just psychological which can be addressed with mindset/cognitive changes, lifestyle changes etc. well done
DeleteExcise me,i beg to defer, Not mental specialist but Anger does not qualify as mental illness. Venting when angry or letting someone know when angered is not mental illness. The better you vent out and say your mind, the better for your health.
ReplyDeleteAsabe, the hasty manner you jumped to the wrong conclusion just because you are on the defensive shows something is off.
DeleteWhat she said is true. If you display is tense anger to the point you need to exert the energy on someone or something so you can feel okay, that is def a symptom.
If you like be living in denial, na you sabi.
shut up...any fool knows just being angry is not the same as the kind of anger you have if you are suffering from mental illness. go back and read about the type of anger she talked about before commenting
DeleteChai, ignorance is not bliss o. Nigeria education system cheated a lot of people.
DeletePlease read up on intermittent explosive disorders and its relationship with anger.
DeleteIt is well with you chacha. keep taking your drugs .
ReplyDeleteMental health problems contribute to 90% of suicidal cases in Nigeria but because we've not yet classified it as a serious issue, people don't know how bad it can get and how to help those that re suffering from it.
She keeps hammering on mental illness,yet she hasn't told us the main reason for her "madness" so we can truly learn,inherited madness isonu.
ReplyDeleteshame on you for this stupid comment. you truly deserve an award in the stupid category
Delete12:57 She fit no win o, she get plenty wey senior her here but she go be strong nominee. Me I go vote for her .๐คฃ๐คฃ๐คฃ๐คฃ
DeleteKrytiq Ambi shame on you. She already said she has bipolar disorder which can also be hereditary. Many mental illnesses have multiple causes and having a family member with such illness is a predisposing factor for other relatives.
DeleteStella please post this. If you need me to do a post to discuss about mental health related issues please indicate in IHN. Thanks.
nice tips and i hope help comes to those who are passing through tough time mentally .
ReplyDeleteMay you get total healing from this illness, Cha Cha.
ReplyDeleteIt is well dear Chacha
ReplyDeleteAmen o. It is well.
DeleteThis is a chic I was expecting to take over from Madam Patience Ozokwor because she has same acting prowess,then the tables just turned.
Sad much!
"If you have anger issues, I mean hot temper, the kind that would never go away except you take out your vexation on something or someone, darling you have mental illness.
ReplyDeletethe first point she gave is happening to me, some times i just have pepper body without no reason, other times is due to someone not playing their part on an appointment or when we have a discussion to do something and you do not do you part as suppose. That alone triggers me like no tomorrow.
My anger habit increased when my ex husband was abusing me, when we got separated the same thing continue cos any little thing will trigger my anger, if a man talks to me come and see anger in me. When i finally got divorced with him the anger did not just go away.
I have been battling to come out of it, my whole system will not just be once someone has done something wrongly to me. The anger spirit comes and go, some times i am a very sweet soul and other times i am a terrible person. My own is just that i do not break things or fight people or try to place injury on anyone.
when i am angry i will show you that i am angry with you but after few minutes i am okay and i will be all nice with you. I have been praying for that to go away, i have attended deliverance still nothing has been done. What she said about inheriting it is so true cos i inherited this anger issue from my mother.
Some times i ask myself why did i have to inherited so much from my mum that i did not get good things from her but bad habits. I inherited heavy bleeding, fibroid, anger spirit, pepper body, bad marriage. I am only good with taking care of people, i can sacrifice my last card for people and i love to treat people like my children but this anger spirit will not let me be all sweet always.
Once the anger spirit comes up even my colleagues will not like me, i will speak to people rudely but when i am okay i will be so sweet. So this anger thing makes me look like two different person on the same cloth. I don't know how i can manage this spirit so that i will not lose all the important people in my life. My ex brought out the worst of that anger spirit in me.
It is well with you. you can control your anger by counting 1 to 50 before responding to anyone whenever you get angry, before you get to 50, your annoyance would have been subdued and you become a little calmer before addressing the cause of the anger. This worked for a colleague of mine.
DeleteAll you need is self control, you re in charge of your mind, do not let your mind be in charge of you. you should be in total control of your mind and how it works.
It's well ๐
ReplyDeleteYes mental illness exist in different forms but hope there is a way to draw the line between bad behaviour/character that needs to be called out/ punished and mental illness? 'cos some woke humans are misbehaving (nasty, rude, abusive, violent ) and are claim mental health issues.
ReplyDeleteThey lined up under asabes comment up there to display their madness. Trying to recruit others in their insanity like say na we do them
DeleteReading some of the comments, all I can say is some of you need to learn to be kind
ReplyDeleteThere are psychiatric disorders and psychological disorders. Not all psychological disorders are categorized as mental illness.
