I Wasn’t Mature in the Beginning- Halima Abubakar Talks Depression
The
media has not been fair to Halima. A while back, Halima Abubakar took
to social media to beg people to stop hating on her with comments on
blogs because it makes her depressed. The actress who is now a happy
being told the Tribune her depression started in 2013 after a
heartbreak.
“Especially
in 2013. That year was rough for me. I went through series of emotional
challenges. At some point, I had to speak out that I was quite
depressed. I was a bit down and didn’t want any more of people’s
judgments. Even that didn’t help. People took advantage of that too. I
had to learn to win the war through self-healing without any more help
from people.
One
of the nuggets that helped me survive that stage was a conciliatory
understanding that, that which had caused my pain once made me happy. It
once filled me with joy and love.”
She continued,
“I
am more understanding and mature now. I wasn’t mature in the beginning.
I allowed everything that hit me pull me down. But now, I can take the
heat, any heat. To be fair to the media, they have been good to me. They
have to sell.
Bloggers
have to make money too. And I do not blame all of them for the stories
they have published about me. I only have to say that they should not
break somebody for profit. The media should double-check stories before
publishing.”
