From West Africa Nigeria where the culture is different, somethings that should be taken seriously are been pushed away by their religious and past experiences. I once told my parents I want to kill myself that I am feeling very low feeling depressed. They didn’t taken me seriously because a child of God cannot be suicidal or because of their past experiences they feel nothing should be making depressed because they provide food shelter and small money for me so why should I be depressed. They will say in their time they didn’t have what I have and they didn’t think of depression. I still feel low sometimes I cut myself deep and hide them. I get misunderstood I am trapped in my home where I am not allowed to feel some type of way because God and past experiences of my elders didn’t feel that way. So I am a zombie Following my elders footsteps not mine. I am trying to break out but Life is a bitch sometimes. I am trying to make it out of this trap called home to build mine cos I don’t want my children to feel this heart aches I feel everyday.
