How to deal with indecision to seek mental health support
Indecision about seeking mental health services is very common. It's a big step, and it's understandable to have reservations. Here's a breakdown of how to address that indecision:

**1. Acknowledge and Understand Your Hesitations:**

* **Identify the Fears:**
* What specifically are you afraid of? Is it the stigma, the cost, the time commitment, fear of being judged, or uncertainty about whether therapy will even help?
* Writing these fears down can help you see them more clearly.
* **Challenge Negative Beliefs:**
* Many fears are based on misconceptions. Research the facts about mental health treatment to counter these.
* Remember that seeking help is a sign of strength, not weakness.

**2. Gather Information:**

* **Research Mental Health Professionals:**
* Explore different types of therapists (psychologists, counselors, psychiatrists) and their specialties.
* Look for online reviews or ask for recommendations from trusted sources.
* **Understand Your Options:**
* Learn about different types of therapy (e.g., cognitive-behavioral therapy, talk therapy).
* Investigate available resources, including online therapy, support groups, and community mental health centers.
* **Cost and Insurance:**
* Check your insurance coverage for mental health services.
* Explore options for affordable therapy, such as sliding-scale fees or community clinics.

**3. Take Small Steps:**

* **Start with a Consultation:**
* Many therapists offer initial consultations to discuss your concerns and determine if they're a good fit. This doesn't commit you to ongoing therapy.
* **Talk to a Trusted Person:**
* Sharing your feelings with a friend, family member, or trusted advisor can provide support and clarity.
* **Use Mental Health Apps and Resources:**
* Explore apps and websites that offer guided meditation, mindfulness exercises, or mood tracking. These can be a helpful first step.
* **Contact your primary care physician:**
* Your primary care Doctor can also be a very valuable resource. They can preform initial assessments, and provide referrals to mental health professionals.

**4. Address Underlying Issues:**

* **Anxiety and Indecision:**
* If anxiety is contributing to your indecision, consider practicing relaxation techniques or mindfulness exercises.
* **Perfectionism:**
* Recognize that there's no "perfect" time or therapist. Focus on taking action, even if it's imperfect.
* **Overwhelm:**
* Break down the decision into smaller, more manageable steps.

**5. Remember Your Well-being:**

* **Prioritize Self-Care:**
* Engage in activities that promote your mental and emotional well-being, such as exercise, healthy eating, and adequate sleep.
* **Trust Your Gut:**
* Ultimately, the decision to seek mental health services is yours. Trust your intuition and do what feels right for you.
* **Recognize the potential benefits:**
* Mental health services can provide tools to cope with stress, anxiety, depression, and other mental health challenges. It can improve relationships, increase self-esteem, and enhance overall quality of life.

By addressing your hesitations, gathering information, and taking small steps, you can move closer to making an informed decision about seeking mental health services.

In Kenya, a culture that sometimes emphasizes expediency can lead to misunderstandings and hurt in love. Here are some examples:
* Rushing the relationship: A Kenyan who believes in shortcuts might push for commitment too quickly, skipping important steps in getting to know a partner. This can lead to mismatches and breakups.
* Financial expectations: There can be unspoken expectations around finances in Kenyan relationships. Someone looking for a quick advantage might focus on what a partner can offer materially, rather than building a genuine connection. This can breed resentment and distrust.
* Lack of communication: Open and honest communication is crucial for any relationship. A "shortcut" mentality might avoid difficult conversations, leading to unresolved issues and resentment.
* Infidelity: Seeking "shortcuts" to validation or excitement might tempt someone to be unfaithful, deeply hurting their partner and destroying trust.
It's important to remember that these are generalizations and not every Kenyan acts this way. Building strong, lasting love requires patience, honesty, and effort – things that can't be rushed.

,..*SLAVERY OF MEN BY WOMEN*

Every Man irrespective of who they are must read the book by a German writer Esther Villar In her book "The Manipulated Man"

This book has caused outrage and *hostile criticism* from women, it explains how women since the earliest times have manipulated men and turned them into their slaves, they have *pretended* to be the oppressed s*x while in the real sense they are the oppressors.

She explains how a woman manipulates a man skillfully by steps like *courtship* and finally *marriage* , hence the saying “ *a man chases a woman until SHE catches him”* .

In her book she explains how the man is *tricked* to care for the woman all his life and her offspring.

He rolls the stone like *Sisyphus* and in turn gets rewarded by a few minutes of s*xual pleasure.

We can, by observing Esther Villars assertions that a man is a slave of his desires and the woman uses and has used it for thousands of years as a stick and carrot to keep the man chasing vanity and commit his life to serving her.

She goes ahead to explain the *rivalry of women* , how each woman feels the powerful urge and need to own a male for herself.

Like a *slave owner* she detests any move the man would make to offer his services to another woman. She uses all means to keep the man to herself and her offspring alone.

Esther Villar's sentiments are captured by Nigerian Poet, critic and writer, Chinweizu Ibekwe in his book, “The Anatomy of Female Power” (AFP) and Will Farrel's, “The Predatory Female”.

They all push the theory that all societies are matriarchal and not patriarchal as we are pushed and forced to believe. *Matriarchy has ruled not through brawn but wits and tricks;* women feigning weakness to be protected etc. Thus the male becomes the most exploited s*x in human history, (in wars the man is always ready to die for the woman; he has been trained to do that).

Chinweizu calls the idea of *dating* and *courtship* , *training* , like that of a horse. It is during this time that a woman having kept the man on a leash by denying him s*x and getting him addicted to her by false charms, trains and breaks him to whatever she wants him to become.

The marriage celebration becomes a celebration for the *woman and her friends,* and they all congratulate her for having succeeded in getting herself a *slave* .

A man on that *wedding* day waves goodbye to his independence and his coalition of males and commits himself to a *Sisyphean* life, rolling the stone, an act he cannot abandon having *society* and the *government* checking on him and always ready to *jail* , *shame* or *exile* him for absconding his duties of slavery.

Thus the government and society helps the woman in keeping her *slave*(man) in check.

Chinweizu gives a narration of how women are trained by older matriarchs to *tame* men. He explains how a man is trained to rely on women by his own mother.

A man is *shamed for cooking* for himself and other domestic chores by his *own mother* who is an agent of the global matriarchal rule.

By getting the man to hate *domestic* works and having it enforced by culture which warns men against going into the kitchen, doing *laundry* etc.

The mother trains his son for the woman who will captivate him and when the time comes she takes hold of the man's stomach and by getting the man addicted to her body she holds him by the two, in *bed* and in the *kitchen* .

With those two weapons she manipulates the man and turns him into her plaything.

In the “Myth of the Male Power”, Esther Villar's “A Man's Right to the Other Woman”; “The Polygamous S*x”, the authors of those books challenge the narrative that men oppress women, and by detailed research across African, Western and Eastern both in ancient and modern societies, the authors unravel the hidden power of the ruthless matriarchal power that rules the world.

Also Helen E. Fisher did anthropological research of ancient human societies and wrote the book "The S*x Contract, The evolution of human behaviour" 1982. She too came to the conclusion that Marriage is a selfish creation of a Woman, where she uses s*x to manipulate a man to take care of her and her offspring. Other male animals do not carry the same burden and responsibility.

*Presidents* , *Emperors* and *Kings* are all puppets of the matriarchy forces that rule the World by pulling the strings from behind the curtains

A noble piece which is a must read for every Man under the globe...

I challenge you all to actually contemplate the absurdity of spreading negativity at a cellular level. Instead of focusing on self-improvement or simply being true to yourself, some choose to sow seeds of destruction in other people's lives.
For me, true success lies not in material riches or titles, but in contentment and happiness, found in family, friends, and peace of mind.
I'm inspired by those who want little and find blessings in simplicity. They teach me that success isn't about having it all, but about wanting what truly matters. On the other hand, those who take pleasure in others' failures, gossip, and choose evil over good hold no admiration from me.
Being a good person shouldn't be hard. It's about staying out of others' affairs, speaking kindly, and genuinely wishing others well. Negativity is draining, both spiritually and physically, and it's no surprise that those who hold it often reflect its ugliness outwardly.
Let's choose the easier path of positivity and let our energy uplift, rather than drain. Let's be the light that brightens others' lives, because in doing so, we illuminate our own path.

😭😭😭Wanna know what hurts? Seeing many young people fight addiction and this world fail them. Not wanting to help until it was too late. Making kids help kids. Starting to abuse drugs because, that’s what they grew up around or they were being doubted and thought it’s what they were suppose to do in order to ease the pain. Acting like you cared when it was too late. People don’t understand why others lean towards drugs. It’s an escape from reality and the pain. Times where we feel like there is no easy way out, we take this route hoping to ease it all. We as a whole failed. We can’t blame ourselves for them doing it but we need to blame ourselves for not helping our loved individuals seek help until it was too late. I’m sorry to my younger generations that has came into the world after me. I’m sorry we couldn’t do our parts for you all. I’m sorry we didn’t help until it was to late. I hope you follow the path to the journey that heals you. The afterlife maybe a beautiful thing, while down here seemed like hell. I know you try to fight it and at times you feel defeated.They say “it’s what you make from it” but not everyone could make something beautiful. I’m so sorry this world has failed you. To those who have beat addiction, thank you. Thank you for seeking god and allowing him to enter your body. I couldn’t image the strength it took. To those who couldn’t be here with us anymore, I’m sorry this lifetime brought you that pain. Hopefully the lifetime you entered will be nothing but sunshine and happy days🫶🏼addiction is a disease. Help them.Drama-addicttPastor Dorcas Rigathi

I hope you gather the strength and walk away from that person that you love but is making you so sad.
I hope you gather the courage to delete their number. To mute their story. To delete those pictures,videos and music you share with them that breaks your heart.

I hope you do this because you deserve to be happy.
I’m not saying it is not going to hurt. It will break you but choosing yourself means walking away from things that steal your happiness.
Even if they make you happy. Even if you are addicted to talking to them and you still love them,if they are the reason you are having that emotional breakdown,walk way. Make that bold step.

Time doesn’t heal completely but one day your heart is going to be grateful that you made that bold step.
One day your heart is going to thank them for teaching you character development.

I hope this post touch you to take that courageous step and stop delaying your healing.
Nobody deserves to be crying or losing it because they love someone. Free yourself from the shackles today.

Quit the urge to enter into a ‘who is more happy after a breakup’ with them. Let them go. Relationships aren’t supposed to be a battlefield, it is not supposed to be a war you have to fight.

I know it’s hard. It hurts. But worth it.

Let go of people who’ve given you enough reasons that you don’t belong with them. Don’t even fight for it. You will drown while trying to ‘catch’ an adult.

..Let's keep fighting, even if we often feel so tired of everything. I know most of us are just trying to survive every day. Most of us are going through a lot in life, and we just act like everything is fine. We sometimes hide our true feelings by putting a smile on our faces or by lying to anyone who asks about how we feel. But when we are alone somewhere, we take a deep breath and then start letting go of our true emotions. We get sad alone. We are hurting alone, and we feel like everything that we feel is not going to end. We surrender to being strong when we are alone, drowning in our own feelings. But despite all that, I hope we still keep moving forward. I hope every one of us will still have the courage to keep going.

No one will ever fully understand how hard it is to suffer in silence. There are a lot of things that can actually hurt us, and there are also a lot of people that can make us sad. But I hope we still find a reason to live our lives, like we are still looking forward to better days. I hope that we heal from all the pain that we have to go through every day. And with all the broken parts of us, I hope we still find peace in our hearts. In every way we can, I hope we still choose to be kind to ourselves, especially on the days that we feel like we are losing ourselves in the dark over and over again. Let us keep fighting in our different battles, even when our hands are trembling and our hearts are aching. And no matter how much we want to give up, I hope every one of us will still survive to get the happiness and healing that we all deserves

.Trying to keep up with the expectations of society is exhausting. And impossible!

In an attempt to fit in and impress people, we end up losing ourselves on a never-ending performance treadmill of perfectionism.

We get caught up in an anxious striving to do and be better because we don’t feel good enough on the inside—we don’t feel lovable as we are.

It suffocates our soul with worry about details of our performance, what people think, and doing what’s right.

Perfection is an unrealistic and impossible standard. Only Jesus is perfect. And it’s only through his grace that we can get free.

Jesus declared on the cross, “You are loved as you are. You are forgiven of your sins and I have made the way for you to know God as your forever Friend.”

That means we don’t have to hide behind a happy face or pretend to have it all together.

Instead, we can take courage to be emotionally honest with safe friends who will listen and give us empathy. As we do, we'll discover that we're not alone. Our shame and fear will melt away and God will transform our pain into hope.

Oh friends, what a relief and joy it is to behold the warm smile of God in Jesus and rest in the freedom of being known, loved, and accepted in his eyes ❤️

.{Trigger Warning}

You’re struggling.

It’s dark and decrepit within the halls of your mind…

Reaching for survival, distraction and worth.

You keep trying to plug in night lights of hope so that you can find your way to the next window…

Feeling through the dark walls for a door that leads to joy.

But the weight is closing in and you’re losing hope.

You’re on the edge and the only way you can manage is to push everyone away.

You’re a high level actor in your daily life.

With the skill to keep treading the waters of depression.

The ones that no one knows you’re swimming in.

A select few know that you’re tired, but as long as your head is still above water they feel no urgency.

No responsibility.

As long as you keep faking it, so can they.

Would they have regrets if I was gone? You wonder as you smile on Sunday.

Would they even notice?
You ponder while you work on Monday.

You see old friends and you smile…

Only to then weep at how they couldn’t see through the facade.

At how they disregarded the weary in your eyes…

At the way they danced right over the broken pieces of your heart as they waved goodbye.

You paint images of perfection so that no one sees the real pictures on the canvas of your heart.

So that no one knows the places you’ve been mentally lately.

They tell you of their day, while not knowing you’re just glad you made another one.

They boast of their own happiness, while you wonder if they would all be better off without you.

Friend.

Sweet social media reader scrolling to find distraction from the ache.

Someone gets you.
All of you.
And me, too.

Holy Spirit is the comforter.

We must grab ahold of that.

As we navigate, feeling our way through the dark hallways of our mind…

We must remember that no matter how alone we feel, His presence clings to the shattered pieces of what’s left of us.

It is so heavy.
It is too heavy.

And I just want you to know that someone sees you.

There’s a cluster of those wiping tears behind name brand sunglasses.

There’s a remnant of those leaning on the Master to survive another day.

But He got you through yesterday, and He will today all the same.

Through the weeping, just continue to whisper out His sweet name.

Because He knows yours.

And remember there’s no one better to mend your heart in its current state…

Than the one who created it in the first place.

..."They say the hardest thing in the world is losing someone you love.
Someone you grew old with and watched grow everyday.
Someone who showed you how to love.
It's the worst thing to ever happen to anyone.
My wife died unexpectedly.
She brought me so much joy.
She was my everything.
Those 16 years of being her husband taught me how to love unconditionally. We have to stop and be thankful for our loved ones.
Because, life is very short.
Spend time with your people.
Treat them well.
Because, one day, when you look up from your phone, they won't be there anymore.
What I truly learned most of all is, live and love everyday like it's your last. Because, one day, it will be.
Take chances and go live life.
Tell the ones you love, that you love them everyday.
Don't take any moment for granted.
Life is worth living."~Liam Neeson

Every day, tell your people that you love them.
Put down the phones, turn off the tv and be present.
You won't ever get those moments back, so spend them loving your people.
Make memories, just be there and be happy.
Don't ever become the person who wishes they had loved more, lived more and enjoyed their time here.
Because we only get one chance at this thing called life.
Take the path less traveled.
Eat the cake, try that food you've been scared to try, take the trip you've always wanted to go on.
Take the dance lesson, make a new friend, try something that makes you grow.
Don't be content just going through the motions of your life-
Find the people and the things that make you feel passionately alive and experience it all.
Step out of your comfort zone, hold your loved one's hand and truly live.
I spent so many years of my life playing it safe-
Until someone loved me enough to make me start living and trying new things.
Don't let life pass you by.
I want you to smile as you look back over your life like I will..
Because you've led a happy life, living and loving in all the ways that made you happy..
And if we're honest about it?
We can't ask for much more than that, can we?
I'll take a glance back and simply smile, because I've truly lived.
I hope you will too.
