Nollywood actress, Halima Abubakar
who at some point frequently had negative comments being written about her in
the media says she was depressed because of the negative comments. Halima who
has been able to overcome her battles with depression also said a heartbreak in
2013 was also a reason why she was depressed. Read her interview with Tribune:
Why She was depressed:
“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.”
“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.”
