I don't think this is the right section to post this but permit me admin.

I pretty much want to talk about the menace of mental health problems in our African homes, schools, and culture so you can just leave this page if it's not something of your interest. But I am sure you want regret reading through it.

Am going to be sharing my experiences with mental health problems since I was a kid and how you as someone who is struggling can help yourself or help those around you in the best possible way you can.

I was diagnosed with two very common mental health problems but I didn't know I had the second one until recently when I was close to taking my own life.

First was severe social anxiety disorder back in my first to last year in the university. In the university where one is supposed to be very social I was the type that would skip class and miss marks just to avoid social interactions.

Long story short It was so bad that my grades went from average to really bad. My mates could easily pick on me because they knew I could hardly retaliate. Suicidal thoughts and depression became the order of the day in my life.

I dropped out during my third year and my parents were pissed, I could explain anything to anyone so I just told my parents it was bad grades and I don't want to keep wasting their money.


I thought I dropped out because of the social anxiety struggles affecting my studies but the dots connected themselves only recently when I was diagnosed with ADD.

For those who don't know, it's attention deficit disorder. There is also the hyperactive type but am not really much hyperactive.

I got rid of my social anxiety struggles after much therapy ( but no drugs, because I couldn't afford them). The withdrawal effects are also bad so I just had to skip the drugs part.

I decided to go into business, and then into freelancing, and then back to into business too many interests in my brain. Yeah really confused!

I was struggling with everything I placed my hands on after school because i couldn't focus on something for long. Once I loose interest on something It's a no go area for me again.

I remember back then in school I would only study for an exam a night before the exam. Not because I was unserious but because I could only get myself to focus because of the pressure of taking the exams the next day.

There is no way you can read for an exam in a day and ace it, even if you are a genius.

I don't want to bore you with my long epistle, but where am heading to is that the issue of mental health issues in our African homes is something of great concern.

When a child has some form of mental health issue in Africa, they either cover it up with spirituality or say the child is immature. What if it's an adult?

I managed to get rid of my social anxiety struggles without drugs but by constant therapy. ADD is a whole new diagnosis and it has changed the course of my life. but you know what they say "we are never given anything we can't handle".

Am leaving room for people to also share their mental health struggles and how well they were able to or are still managing it.

Am also planning on organizing a group on Watsapp or telegram where we can share tips on how to help one another and those around us with our experiences and how we overcame.

Story was a bit long so I had to cut it short. Am not an English professor so make una no mind my possible mistakes.

P.S: I'll open a group once I see interested persons drop their contacts (at least 10).

We all have a duty to help one another.

It doesnt mean they are useless.....they are simply doing their job.....you are naive about the workings of a secret police.......FBI do this kind of things too.....

Enskynelson:
Alright. But the testimonies so far doesn't mean the hospitals are not good. The testimonies is that, once you are on NHIS, they don't give you quality service especially as regards treatment.

Enskynelson:
Na wa o. It's not long I registered and hence, I didn't have much experience but the little experience has not been good at all. It seems a scheme just for survival, for those that cannot meet basic healthcare challenges.

Enskynelson:
Early this year, I registered myself and my wife in NHIS. We chose our hospitals based on recommendations and the place looks good, clean and fine, with many doctors. However, for the times we have visited the hospital, I have noticed that they don't give good drugs. For Malaria and Typhoid treatment, the test was done and they gave my wife a drug that I asked at the Pharmacy outside costs around 400NGN and 600 NGN respectively. And the rest is paracetamol tablets. After less than two weeks, she fell ill again with same symptoms and we went back there. The doctors still said she should do MP and Widal tests. She did and it was the same tyhpoid and Malaria and we were given the same 'cheap' drugs. We had to go to a paharmacy outside and got coartem and Ciprotab and she has been fine since then. That was about four months ago.
Just some weeks ago, my colleague took ill (Malaria symptoms) and he went to his NHIS chosen hospital (not the same as mine). The conducted a test and it was confirmed Malaria and Typhoid. He was still given those class of 400-600NGN drugs and they were not effective as the symptoms continued. He went back to complain and they told him they don't have other drugs! Meanwhile, before he joined NHIS, they used to give him better drugs at that same hospital.
Lastly, my inlaw in another State called and said she was ill. She has been under NHIS for more than 7years. She said she had no money for treatment. I reminded her of NHIS and she laughed. She said they don't always have drugs. They only give paracetamol there as they don't have drugs there. These made me to write this post.

NLanders under NHIS, what has been your experience under the Health Insurance Scheme? For me, the only thing I benefit is the tests examination. I am not confident about the drugs they administer for treatments.

Good afternoon everyone..
Please I'm kindly in need of advice... ignore my typing ERROR..
There's this girl I love and I want to settle down with her. She's still in school while I'm still in school too. She's 22 while I'm 24 nd also in final YR and we both love each other..my mum has supported me to marry her.
I proposed to her and she said yes...I plan going her house next month next to start official martial rites but I'm afraid.
Here is my reasons

She's the only girl and the last daughter in a family of 5boys. Ever since we started dating, she's in 100l then, all her school burdens are on me..I take care of her and mine own...with this people around who knows about our RELATIONSHIP ask me to marry her to avoid story that touches the heart..which he has accepted , her mum nd dad have accepted it too.
My major concern about this girl is that those his brothers are not willing to do anything, istead the came asking me for small small money when I'm back, knowing fully I'm just dating thier sis....most times the my girl always feel ashamed of her brothers nd keep cursing them. The can't even call her on phone unless she calls them...nd the will keep asking why she didn't call them all this while knowing fully thier sister is in school nd not working.

I have thought about this over and over again, how do I marry from a family that can't even assist in anything...I know marriage is not always Rosy, what if something happens tomorrow nd I needed thier financial support..the can't render to me.
I discussed with my mum nd she told me I'm marrying thier sister who is well trained nd not the brother..that I can decide not to give them money again... But I'm very sad over this.
It's only the father and mum that acknowledge I hay been trying to see their sister through school expenses, including food and wears.
I discussed with my woman, she started crying, saying she knows her brothers are such a disgrace, telling me how she may commite sucide if I didn't marry her... She cried that she can't visits her house again... that her only hope will be to start prostitution which she can't see herself do that nd that's why she is going to commite sucide if I eventually leave her, all her social media handle is full with my picture, including her profile pictures.

Please what advice do you have for me.... should I let go of this girl, I don't mind letting go all I have already spent...I just want to make sure I won't regret the marriage tomorrow...I have already discussed with my mom nd we plan on going her house officially by August ending..but I'm still very worried.

Matured advice please

Christians think this a joke, not that CJN was not happy but to him, she is an infidel so does not have the teremity or right to use the name of Allah. Christians if you like useless yourself infront of Muslims, they will never see you as human beings
