Anyone interested in making a short film related to girls and women issues in Ethiopia. It’s a film competition and the film that wins will get a chance for a film festival in Sweden. Contact me directly if you are interested!

I lost interest in food, lost interest in socializing, lost interest in getting up from bed, lost interest in dressing, lost interest in work, lost interest in speaking…. All I wanna do is sleep all night and sleep all day, not go outside, not talk to people, not pretend to laugh, cry my heart out without having to hold a tear to pretend to be okay, bite my fingers, zone-out without being asked what I’m thinking, stay silent without being told to talk. The only thing motivating me now is that I have to work to earn money… money that can’t even cover a therapy cost, money that can’t take me to a trip to clean my head…. I just want to eat ice-cream and use my phone the whole day….. I used to wonder why people would record themselves when they are crying but now I know why, it’s just so scary how moods suddenly change, I be laughing then ten seconds later I’m crying… anytime! It is so hard. But we got this…. It will be easy again…. Hope it is just seasonal…

But check on your “happy” friends who don’t know how to express their emotions, ask them how their mental health is!

You might think you don't matter in this world, but because of you, someone now likes themselves a little bit more because you made a passing comment that made them feel good. Someone has read a book you recommended and they got lost in the pages. Someone has remembered a joke you told them that made them smile to themselves on the bus. Someone has tried on an outfit and felt beautiful because you complimented them on it. Never think you don't have an impact, your fingerprints can't be wiped away from the little marks of kindness you've left on the world.

?you matter!!

Mental breakdown ?ጠዋት ተነስቶ ጥርስ ለመቦረሽ ፣ ሻወር ለመውሰድ ሳይቀር አቅም እንደሚያሳጣ ለማወቅ ራሳችን ላይ እስኪደርስ አንጠብቅ። ሲደውሉልን መልሼ እደውላለሁ ብለን ያልመለስንላቸው ሰዎች በሰዓቱ ምን አይነት ሁኔታ ላይ እንዳሉ አናውቅም (they might be struggling with depression ,insomnia, anxiety...so they are looking for someone to talk after a few hours ልንደርስላቸው ሳንችል ቀርተን if they commit suicide አልተረዳሁህም ከማለትና ከፀፀት ውጭ እኛ ጋር የሚቀር ነገር የለም).
እሳት በሌለበት ጭስ የለም ?ማንም ራስን ማጥፋት ደረጃ የሚደርሰው አቅመ ቢስ ወይም ደካማ ስለሆነ አይደለም ሰሚ ያጣ ጩኸቱን ወደ ውስጡ ጮሆ ፣ ለመነጋገር ተቀጣጥረን ትኩረታችን ከጎን ካለው ሰው ይልቅ ስልካችን ላይ ስለሆነ ከራሱ ጋር ተነጋግሮ የሚወስነው ውሳኔ ነው። (our relation የመዝናናት ፣የፎቶና ፣የመጠጥ ስለሆነ?) ማንም የለኝም ብሎ እንዲያስብ ምክንያት ስለሆነው እና ውስጡ እየታመመ እኛን ላለመረበሽ Pretend ማድረጉ ከአቅሙ በላይ ሲሆንና ሲያቅተው የሚወስነው ውሳኔ ነው።
ምን ያህል ግዜ ደብሮኛል ፣መኖር አስጠልቶኛል ፣ነገ የሚባል ተስፋ የለኝም ፣ተጨነኩ I really wanna die የሚል ሰውን rather than trying to help እዚም እንደዛው በሚል አቅልለን ያለፍናቸውን እንዴት treat አደረግን ብለን ራሳችንን ብንጠይቅ ብዙ ነፍስ እጃችን ላይ አልፏል። ?

Who said DEPRESSION is a CHOICE? Who said depression is OVERRATED? Who said depression is ONLY for RICH people? Do your family a favor, do your friends a favor, do the society a favor and listen to what someone has to say their deepest feelings and about their depression to the fullest without underestimating, comparing, judging, disturbing and to the end. Save someone from losing hope, save someone from feeling lonely , save someone from feeling hopeless, save someone from feeling they overreacted, save someone from taking their life.

Save someone’s LIFE!!!

Depression is NOT a choice and it was NEVER a choice!!!!

?? leave a comment

እነሆ!

የለመድነው ; በጉጉት የምንጠብቀው አዲስ አመት እየገሰገሰ ወደ እኛ መጥቷል።

እኔ ይኸው እስከዛሬ ሳስታውስ ሁልጊዜም ለውጥን ፈላጊዎች ነን።

በሚቀጥለው ዓመትስ እንዲህ አደርጋለሁ፤ እንዲያ ማድረጌን አቆማለሁ፤ ይሄንን አሻሽላለሁ፤ እንደዚህ ማድረጌን እቀጥላለሁ። እናሳ? ምንማለት እንቀጥላለን መሰላችሁ.... እንዲህ ማድረጉን ስጀምር እገሌ ባልመቸውስ፣ ባልስማማውስ፣ ባይወደኝስ፤ እገሌ እንደሆነ እሱን ስመስልለት ነው ደስ የሚለው...... ግና የራሱ ጉዳይ፡ እሱ በእኔ ህይወት አይወስን.... ስናሰላስል፣ ስናወጣ ፣ ስናወርድ.... ምን የሚል ውሳኔ ላይ እንደርሳለን፦ እገሌንስ ከማጣው፤ እገሌ ጋር ከምቆራረጥ፤ እኩዮቼ ፋራ ከሚሉኝ፤ሕዝቡ ወግአጥባቂ ከሚለኝ ፥ ማሕበረሰቡ እንደለመደኝ እቀጥላለሁ፡ እስከዛሬ እንደው አልተጎዳሁ.....

እንደ እኔ እንደ እኔ ግን ወንድሜ ፡ እህቴ.... ለውጥ ለራስ ነው።
እገሌ የምለው ላጣው የሰጋሁት
በሱ ምከንያት ለውጥን የሸሸሁት
የራሴን ውሳኔ አሳልፌ የሰጠሁት

ከነ ለውጤ ካልተቀበለኝ

ከኔ ብቻ እንጂ ያለው ወዳጅነት
ከሱ አይኖርም አንዳች ፍላጎት።

እንግዲህ ምርጫው የየራሳችን ነው ባይ ነኝ።

መልካም አዲስ መንፈስ
