Wariimi gal 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽!! You did well for yourself and for schooling us on mental health.. Wariimi you are stronger than you think. You will be fully well soon.God has a purpose for you, keep believing!.
I will love to communicate with you one on one currently am going through alot just lost 3, people in my family starting this year. My grandma grand Papa and now just last month I lost my Dad and this hit me so hard . Have been trying to get enough sleep but it is not working instead I get headache a whole day
Wow..just wow. I'm happy to know that I am not alone. It's 2 months now since I got discharged from a mental hospital,was there for 3 months,still fighting for my life and I won't give up. It's not easy for me now after leaving hospital;which was a controlled environment,adjusting in the outside life is what I'm fighting with now. Like I said earlier,I'm not giving up and I won't 😊 Depression and anxiety is an illness that needs medication,stop telling us that we are lazy or not trying enough. A promotion at work might be your achievement,but getting out of bed and having a shower is an achievement for me.
This is one of the most powerful statements on mental health ever told. Seeing Waiirimi push through, almost giving in them asking for help and finally telling the story. Powerful 🤝🏽♥️
You did it better than many of us can ever do it ,by simply standing in front of the world and sharing the most vulnerable aspect of your life. Nothing should scare you, you have crossed the bridge and came out stronger than you can ever imagine. Karingi Karingi you can do it
Thank you Wariimi for sharing. I'm 107 days after my discharge from hospital with the same abnormalities you have. Let's go mental and assist others achieve wellness and get a diagnosis as a bare minimum .
One of the greatest honors of my life was watching you push through to tell that story, it was a powerful “human” moment! Well done Wariimi for bravely sharing your story and that of many of us who have at one point or another, or still continue to struggle with mental health.
I thought i was alone... I thought i was hallucinating... Weeeh this thing is real and happening i wish i can have a chit chat with you wairimu... Thanks
What a courageous young lady. She felt the anxiety but did it anyway. Isn't this what life is all about? Feeling the fear but fighting it with the light of your faith and spirit? You are released from that spirit of anxiety and depression in the mighty name of Jesus! It shall be well with you. Amen.
Ohh Wariimi,am sending you so much love and peace.Their is a time I used to struggle with anxiety and even tremble.I sang through it and sought the Lord.I sought the Lord and He heard and He delivered me
Your personal story and capacity to stand on stage and share it is your super power Wariimi. Hold on to that power and keep telling your story! Meanwhile, we all need an Agatha in our lives ♥♥♥
You are amazing! You've done well and you are getting better every day, this is a stride to the right direction. I am doing the same. This happened to me last Sunday and other times prior to that.
Honestly this is one of the most powerful talks i have listened to! I broke down at some point 😢 but your resilience even when you felt like you can't do it, you still pushed yourself. Asking Agatha to come stand with you was so powerful, shows we all need support and we should not shy away from asking for help! Have been following you for some time now, and i must say this was so inspiring! Thank you for doing it Afraid! Thank you for being bold and authentic.
I am so proud of you! What a story! The true epitome of Do it Afraid! God will surely never leave you, and indeed, your purpose is bigger than your situation. One of the realest Engage shows I have ever watched!
I love this Wariimi you are the epitome of do it afraid but do it anyway. You don't know how much encouragement you've given people with anxiety standing there as the poster child for all those battling so hard with this disorder but still wanting to stand proud & make their impact felt on the world stage & leave a footprint that they lived bravery. Bravo gal what a legacy! You are a star girl 💫
Hii Wariimi❤ I'm a depression/anxiety survivor that's been on meds for 8 years (we're so similar its weird!). You're not alone. At times things fall apart but then at times its possible to smile so we wait for when its possible to smile. I'm proud of you! Cheers
And from experience, I discovered that anxiety does not really go away no matter the amount of medication and therapy one takes in. We only learn to live with it. The reason why support is key. To help us in pushing through.
You are one strong girl Wariimi. Thank you for showing anxiety attack who the real boss is by not letting it overcome your courage. You are a winner beautiful girl. I am so proud of you.
May God in Heaven bless you, heal you and give strength to keep going. I will keep remembering you in my prayers and the more we tell God about you He will hold your hand and use you for his glory on earth! Be healed sister in Jesus Name!
That takes great courage! Bravo Wariimi😊 Proud of you. May God bring you complete healing and restoration. May he use this platform to connect you with destiny helpers for the work you are doing. He is well able!
Waaaaah so emotional, I've gone through depression, low B.P, low Blood level & 💔. Don't forget family rejection after loosing my parents. I personally went to a nurse for B.P then he referred me to a physiatrists, I battled for 2yrs. thereafter I was pregnant, unfortunately I miscarriaged. I've never drink nor smoke. I thank God it all happened before COVID-19, now I'm a strong bubblish woman even imagine I'm in mid 30's without a child but hainishitui.
Thank for sharing your story Wariimi. You are a fighter, a brave fighter! Your story is not in vain. Through you, many many people have become aware of the importance of mental health issues. You will undoubtedly tough many many more lives through Lets Go Mental. Hugs, hugs, hugs. And lots of love.
Wariimi, THANK YOU SO MUCH! Thank you for pushing to keep seeking help. Agatha, thank you for holding space for her and being an example of how we can sometimes hold space for those in our lives who may need it.
wow, keep up the fight, believe me you're not just fighting for yourself but for many, we need you and your purpose is valid, lots of hugs from me, thank you so very much for sharing
Wariimi.... My heart goes out to you. I know you have fought to be where you are right now. Am proud of you.... Thank you for sharing this, means the world to a lot of us!! Be blessed.
Great job wariimi. Not many who can share their personal stories many of us are dying alone. Brave girl for your story we av no energy to share our own.
I love the braveness, few people suffer anxiety not knowing it, may God see you though the process of healing, and touching other lives of young people. I ❤ this, very inspiring speech
You spoke from the heart and shared your experience on mental health which most people suffer silently. Thank you for shining the light in this area and removing the stigma that we have embraced by our silence. Mental health is part of our health just like blood pressure or diabetes. We just need to treat it as such and help our family/friends who are living with mental health. Again, thank you for sharing!
Oh my heart💜 I have never resonated with a talk like this. I painfully relate. A gnawing feeling in your tummy, a tightness in your chest, dread, a feeling like the world is going to collapse and swallow you. 7 years now since my diagnosis. We push on, I tell myself I'm not going to give up on myself. Thank you for your courage and determination 💜 I'm cheering you on!
To God be the glory that your relationship with Him is thriving. You are an overcomer. I pray that your attitude towards all these keeps improving for you to scale higher altitudes.
Very bold of you to share your story...You are not alone..if you need help ,am here..i have in that boat and am willing to help others going through the same
Am struggling with this monster since 2010.. I have taken medication for a long while but this thing is not going away.... my 2 lovely kids are keeping me going on but most of the times it's super hard! I trust that one day soon I will wake up from this horrible nightmare! God be with us all suffering from this thing!
Keep declaring every day that jesus christ is my lord and greatest is that he live in me then he that in the world. Keep it louder in your quiet place and you will see results, test it my dear it never ever disappoint anyone who ask for help
Wao Wariimi...thats a very strong gal there. God bless you. Allowing yourself to be soo vunerable and being able to stand and share your personal story...you are going far. Wishing you well, wishing you healing...May God continue holding your hand. Thanks Agatha.....we all need an Agatha.
Dealing with a mental illness in a family is not easy, it requires a lot of patience, learning and understanding on how best to manage and support your loved one. It is important to remember that this person does not fully understand themselves and their condition either, explaining exactly how someone feels is quite hard. What I shared in the video barely scratches the surface.
I look forward to a time where Africa will appreciate that mental issues are real, and no one chooses to be a victim. I pray that a time will come when people battling mental health issues will be embraced and given equal job opportunities. It takes a lot of bravery to even come out publicly and speak about this condition. And for that, I salute you Wariimi. Employers need to be more supportive to staff going through mental issues. They need to look out for ways to support such employees and help them up. Laying off should not be an option. And by the way, I have realized that most people who go through mental health challenges are very bright. They have a good academic background. They scored good grades in school. And if they are put in a work environment that is supportive and that can bring out the warrior in them, they do wonders!
❤❤❤ Sending truckloads of hugs to you Wariimi. God has you on the palm of his hand, you are the apple of his eye. Thank you for sharing abit of your beautiful self with us. You're fearfully and wonderfully made. God bless you. 🙏🏽
Great job Wariimi...you really did great. I applaud you! You have encouraged so many who are struggling and may not have the courage to speak or share as you did. You did great 👏👏👏👏👏👏
You are doing great Wariimi despite the challenge. The fact that you can tell your story to a crowd is a win! I know you as a bubbly soul from high school. You still got that spark inside you girl. Thanks for reminding us to take care of our mental health.
Thank you for speaking for most of us ,coz no one understands the pain people go through due to mental illnesses. I suffer from anxiety and depression but am too scared to even see the specialists...at some point I felt like I was the one speaking through you...thank you for being our voice .
I felt this story deep in my bones. I watched Wariimi tell this story with tears rolling down my cheeks. I have two brothers who suffer from anxiety and depression and I can tell you it’s not easy. The medication to treat this disorder is expensive and the constant wondering when all this will end. Family support is key. Thank You for sharing your story.

And from experience, I discovered that anxiety does not really go away no matter the amount of medication and therapy one takes in. We only learn to live with it. The reason why support is key. To help us in pushing through.
@@ruthmburu2643 precisely. Anxiety isn't malaria, it won't go away just bc you're on meds or exercising or having therapy.
Thanks for being vulnerable.
All is and will be well Wariimi. Maombi kwa wingi!
May God come through for you.
This one of the best engage talks I've come across, keep winning Karingi

Trying to understand him

It is important to remember that this person does not fully understand themselves and their condition either, explaining exactly how someone feels is quite hard.

Lovely girl best best you are an overcomer
You are a hero! you did it. God bless you; thanks for sharing and being a voice and light to the world. You are needed!!!!
Your story is powerful and you're so brave. I also tremble and sweat when i have to speak infront of many people. I just assumed it was stage fright
God in heaven is watching you. He will fulfill your purpose. Sending love light and hugs.
This is bold and beautiful. Good job and thank you for sharing 🙏
