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.”
