The more I do work in #mentalhealth the more I learn how insensitive some of my actions & comments in the past were. It’s also scary how at the time I had no idea what the impact would be & had no idea I was being a jerk. Let’s be mindful of what we say & what we do to others.

📻 Tune in today for the #ZiFM #xhale show with Diary of a Mental Illness Warrior & Patience Musa over at 106.4 FM! ⏰ 10.45-11.00am. We'll be talking #FriendshipBench, #MentalHealth & how to access services. 🇿🇼 🎙️🔛 xtra.zifmstereo.co.zw ZiFM Stereo @PatieMus Kelly Muzariri(nee) Tavaziva Dixon Chibanda

Depression isn't always what you think it is. #TheMeYouCantSee

♥️ From me, Gogo Lucia, to you, my friends and community members... If you're feeling tired all the time but can't sleep, if you feel empty but fulled with tears, if you question why you're alive and what's the purpose to life then you could be going through depression...

😟😔😥😪😓😑 ... You are not alone and there is help. 💚👉 Please talk with us at the Friendship Bench. Together we can work through problems and learn how to find some peace in these covid-19 times which are bringing a lot of stress and anxiety into our lives. 🇿🇼🎗❤

Having micro locs has been the best hair decision I have made so far. It’s just been 2 months but I’m so in love with them. One thing though - these little babies require lots of patience. The shrinkage I have is unbelievable, can’t wait for that phase to end

We often get asked… “I think my friend/ brother/ sister/ cousin is depressed, how can I talk to them about it?” Here’s a thread we hope helps 👇

5 things we want you to know about #MentalHealth... 👉 Mental health is a daily practice. 👉 Recovery isn't as simple as 'take a few days off' or 'get some exercise'. 👉 Depression is not laziness. 👉 It's exhausting. 👉 Mental health is just another aspect of health.

😄 GOOD NEWS!! This week we were in Midlands Province conducting the graduation ceremonies for our recent Problem Solving Therapy (PST) graduates/ Friendship Bench Buddies, across the Midlands State University University Gweru & Zvishavane campuses.

I’m not participating in the Comrades run, and I don’t know when I will be fit enough to. But the way I’m so excited that it’s just 6 days away 💃🏼😅 you’d think I’m taking part in the run. One day is one day!
