How I overcame depression- Actress Halima Abubakar

Some times 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 at a happy place in her life told the Tribune her depression started in 2013 after a heartbreak,,She also opened up on how she overcame it

"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."
