About the Beauty Behind the Madness

''Secure your wig! Secure your wig!'' Uju screamed! This might just be the intro for my biography!

But let's not talk about that today, let's talk about depression and anxiety.

I like to shy away from the topic because it opens fresh wounds, but today I will touch on it just a bit.

We will start with Depression for dummies, what to say and what not to a person battling with depression.

What not to a person battling with depression. 

1. If you are suicidal just kill yourself! 

2. Snap out of it, it's not that deep.

3. You are using it as an excuse

4. I see no reason why you should be depressed.

5. Can't you just  be happy?

All the things listed above have been said to me, because I speak a lot about Mental health and Depression. So don't say I'm dramatic.

Things to say:

I'm here if you need anything!

What would you like to talk about?


If you can't talk to someone without  making them feel like they put themselves in that situation, you can leave them alone.
The two albums that helps me through depression back in 2015 was Beauty Behind the Madness by The Weekend and Bed of stone by Asa.

I'm in a good place now and I'm happy now. Here's a picture from the album -

I Come To You As A Woman

If I got a dollar for everytime someone has come to me as a woman, I'll have 3 dollars. For those of you who don't know what that means I'll explain. So," Coming to you as a woman " is a term used when "another woman" who is either having an affair with your man OR  you are having an affair with her man, calls you out. The process usually starts with snooping around and finding out who you are and reaching out to you. Here are some reasons why some ladies might come to you as a woman: They are getting cheated on with you - that gotta hurt. They are currently "dining" with your partner and can't let you be happy in peace. You both have the same "d*ck appointment". And this is how it usually starts - Hi *inserts name here*, I want to talk to you about Ted. I come to you as a woman who just found out she got played by a man she loves ......BLAH BLAH BLAH.  Your first reply should be to block her and stay awa

Hi guys, For some funny reason, I stopped  writing because I am a lazy writer and  I could not find  my medical report (scan  result)  Sounds funny right? but it's true, found it now so I can continue my story. So, the scan  I did is Abdominopelvic Sonogram which shows that  Pouch of  Douglas is empty didn’t Google that tho, but the impression of my results says that Polycystic appearing ovaries. So my Google search  shows: What is the cause of Polycystic appearing ovaries It means androgen levels in women can prevent the ovaries from releasing an egg (ovulation) during each menstrual cycle and can cause extra hair growth and acne,  also high levels of insulin. Lol still don’t understand it tho but I still have to carry out another test, which I have not done. Called my Doctor as usual and he tried to enlighten me that its something even doctors dunno why it occurs, so I still have a couple of tests to run. This just made me learn something in life: we are not guaranteed an

It's my birthday season, I'm super excited because this wasn't such a great year and things started looking up this month. I'd like to share an updated blogpost from where I was at last year! Read full article here . It's funny how I wrote that blogpost on this day last year, a whole year has passed.So far, I have gone 2 sizes up, my skin has a horrible rash that has reduced my short dress wearing, but the ribbon is that I have the best friends in the world and I'm actually progressing in my career. I still Listen to CTRL by SZA, my favorite song is Garden and the current song that explains my life is 20 something!  For my birthday this year, I'd be travelling to Abuja to pay Bidemi and Visit, maybe I'd be able to get an article out of her. I intend to go hiking, partying and just rest. I look forward to another amazing year of laughter, Joy, More money and more money. I have attached a recent photo of me, covered H2T!
