Bringing down the walls of stigma by sharing our experiences, stories, truths and educating others on what mental illness REALLY is.

To be mentally ill is to be swamped by secretions of fear, self-hatred and despair ~ @TheSchoolOfLife

DCI boss George Kinoti sentenced to four months in prison for contempt of court after failing to return firearms confiscated from Jimi Wanjigi, High Court rules.

@f_chikira @mentalkhealthke @MHC_ke @angiyo58 @GSNAfrica In the short term, distracting behaviour can be helpful because it defuses pressure so that the men can be more balanced to deal with the matters at hand. However, long term distractions will slow down healing & affect families

[Chiromo Hospital Group @ChiromoHospGrp]

Many people with serious mental illness are challenged doubly.
On one hand, they struggle with the symptoms that result from the disease. On the other, they are challenged by the stigma and discrimination that result from stereotypes and misconceptions about mental illness.

Spoken to a couple of MH advocates who don't want to talk about Dr Njenga because one way or the other he is responsible for their bread. And that's the sad bit of this space. Whom the f**k are you advocating for then?

If you’ve ever tried to take your own life and you’re still here, you should be proud of yourself.

You’re not weak. You are so strong.

[Against Suicide @AgainstSuicide]

Remember:

It’s okay to ask for help.
It’s okay to take a break.
It’s okay to let go.
It’s okay to say no.
Its okay to not be okay.

[Cara Lisette @CaraLisette]

I’ve done 3 (THREE!) separate big challenges today and I think maybe it was too much for one day because now I feel like my brain is going to explode. Why am I such an all or nothing person 🙈

[Jordan Brown @JPBrown5]

Admitting weakness is not failure.

It’s not even close to that.

It’s courage beyond measure.

Weakness is not a bad word.

[Chiromo Hospital Group @ChiromoHospGrp]

Something important to always remember, what is your responsibility & what is not.

[Joseph Rhys @A_D___N]

What if mental illness was a creature. What name would you give it?

[Against Suicide @AgainstSuicide]

You’re going to be sad.
You’re going to cry.
You’re going to want to give up.
But you’re going to get better.
