"Taking care of your mental health is a sign of strength, not weakness."

Prioritizing your mental health and seeking help when you need it is a courageous and admirable act, not something to be ashamed of. It's important to recognize that mental health struggles are common and seeking support is a positive step towards healing and well-being.

ANXIETY

It is normal for students to experience some level of anxiety, particularly when facing academic challenges or stressful situations. However, if the anxiety becomes excessive, persistent or starts to interfere with the student's daily life, it may be a sign of an anxiety disorder that requires professional attention. Unhealthy levels of anxiety can manifest in physical symptoms such as headaches, nausea, and difficulty sleeping, as well as emotional symptoms such as irritability, panic attacks, and avoidance behaviors.

It's important for students to seek support from trusted adults such as parents, teachers, or school counselors if they are experiencing high levels of anxiety that are impacting their ability to function normally.

DEPRESSION IN THE 21st CENTURY

By Philip Zulu

Depression is a serious mental health disorder that affects millions of people worldwide. It is characterized by feelings of sadness, hopelessness, and a lack of interest in daily activities. While depression has been around for centuries, the 21st century has brought new challenges that contribute to its prevalence and impact on society.

One of the major contributors to depression in the 21st century is the increased use of technology and social media. While technology has made our lives easier in many ways, it has also created new stressors and pressures. Social media, in particular, has been linked to increased feelings of anxiety, loneliness, and depression. People often compare their lives to the carefully curated and often unrealistic images they see online, leading to feelings of inadequacy and low self-esteem.

Another contributing factor is the fast-paced nature of modern life. We live in a world where we are constantly connected and expected to be available at all times. This can lead to a feeling of burnout and exhaustion, which can in turn trigger depression. Additionally, the COVID-19 pandemic has created new stressors and challenges, such as social isolation, financial insecurity, and health concerns.

The stigma surrounding mental health also remains a significant barrier to seeking help for depression. Despite increased awareness and advocacy, many people still feel ashamed or embarrassed to talk about their mental health struggles. This can lead to delays in seeking treatment, which can worsen the symptoms of depression and make it more difficult to recover.

Fortunately, there are many effective treatments available for depression, including therapy, medication, and lifestyle changes. However, accessing these treatments can be difficult for many people, particularly those with limited resources or inadequate insurance coverage.

In conclusion, depression remains a significant challenge in the 21st century, with new stressors and challenges contributing to its prevalence and impact on society. It is important to address the root causes of depression and to provide access to effective treatments and support for those who are struggling. By working together to raise awareness and reduce the stigma surrounding mental health, we can create a society that is more supportive and understanding of those with depression.

We are stronger together.

It is not enough that we say these words without any accompanying actions that show how much we believe in the power of numbers. It is a duty born by all to ensure that we look after each other in the spirit of brotherhood and humanity, and we embrace this by showing up for those who need it the most. As a team, we will be showing and proving the spirit of solidarity and togetherness in a week's time to our children at the Home of Happiness Orphanage for Children Living with Disabilities. You are free to tag along, or if you can’t make it, make contributions to the numbers on the poster.

You can also make contributions of clothes, shoes, or other items that you are no longer using that we can give to these children. Let us show that numbers can indeed make a difference.

This campaign goes beyond Home of Happiness, we intend on extending our hands to other people in need and to do this we are currently fundraising by selling the lovely shirts that are in th pictures. Each shirt is going for K150. I implore you to get on board and make a difference.

AVAILABLE IN ALL SIZES

To the depressed person.
It's like there's no way out right now,
You have completely lost hope,
You feel so weak,
You feel anger in you,
You feel like crying,
Right now you can't think straight and you feeling like a drink (depressant)will do.
You are not alone going through that, infact most people are going through it and the only thing which is making them stand out is not giving up and taking something that makes you feel more depressed afterwards, you don't need to give up, this is just a phase in life,
It may seem hard and impossible but it will work out , keep the faith and a positive mind

The “Mwamuna nikulimba” syndrome

The society keeps on feeding and buying into the idea that a man should always be strong and should never shed a tear. That a man is not supposed to be publicly seen or privately found crying or complaining that it is hard. That men are supposed to bootle up their feelings because the society expects them to be as so. Justifiably, the society has placed all their cards on the table on this issue. They’ve subscribed to the narrative for a society will consider a man weak when he chooses to disclose that his status and state is compromised.

But, how beneficial has this been. None at all. The rate at which young men (and women ) are losing their lives is alarming. Our society is infested with men who are angry for no reason. Men who would rather beat, abuse and their issues in alcohol and drug abuse than discuss or express their emotions to their loved ones or significant other. Men who hate themselves so much that every breath they takes feels like poison injected into their limbs and would rather end their lives than live.

Fellow men, you don’t have to subscribed to the syndrome, this parasitical narrative that is slowing sucking the life out of our community. It will only take brave men and women such as yourselves to fight this narrative and subsequently reign triumphant.

Tell yourselves it’s okay to not be okay as a man. It is okay to cry. It is okay to complain. It is also okay to fear, to stress, to be depressed, to be anxious and most definitely it is okay to be human.

Be wise and stand up:

I am thus challenging each and everyone of you to fight the syndrome, fight the narrative and speak out.

It’s okay to take a break😊💞..
You owe yourself a life independent of stress and fill of happiness

This is a reminder that it’s important to take a break from everything sometimes. Life is demanding and normal stresses can easily turn into burdens on your mental health if not handled correctly!
Avoid burnout syndrome and rest! Clear your head. Spend time in nature!
You don’t always have to have a plan. Sometimes spending a few days doing nothing is what your mind needs to reset and realign!

A blessed evening to you all. To all the new members, you are most welcome and please feel at home. You can also register if you will come for the conference. Here are some responses we got " restart, reset and readjust". Truly; after this conference, we shall all look back and think of how we have been advocating for mental health. We will gauge ourselves; if we have been giving the right information towards mental health and if we have been using the right approach to talk about mental health issues. Then we can restart, reset and readjust.
