- All her life, Ellein knew that something was off. She didn't look like her siblings... she didn't live like them and she had a different name... what happened when the truth came out?
Proud of you Nasieku. You have spoken for many. God's speed in your healing journey.
Aaaawww... thanks Caroline. I am truly humbled that my story is generating a healing wave.
A depressed generation hiding behind memes, jokes and alcohol.
Kare Karey yes, let’s keep talking about mental health and bring awareness
i could not agree more! social media is funnier than it has ever been but that goes to show that it's just a mask for most of us
So true. I am always concerned over the sudden entry of memes. Suddenly everything is funny. We are a depressed nation.
You have told this story with grace & integrity 💜 so many of us faced childhood trauma.....my heart breaks because the 29 old me still hasn't healed but yet so many other children are going through adversity.
I needed to tell this story so that many many people may realize that trauma is there and it is living with us. It is leading many into alcoholism, drug abuse , depression and the worst case is suicide. Telling this story and facing my issues head-on was not easy at all, but I am glad it has started a conversation. It is now everyones story. We need to talk more and help each other through the pain and finally walk the journey of healing together.
Thanks for sharing Ellein , we see people smiling but we don’t know what’s going on inside but speaking out it’s a process of healing.👏
There is nothing bad as carrying childhood issues to adult hood plus now adult issues 😓khai!! Its painful i know
Wow Ellein.... I am almost in tears but so proud of you and grateful for the happy ending. As your work your way through healing please let forgiveness be part of the journey.
Forgiveness and hope have been my daily pill. I am happier!
My besty,told me part of this story but never knew it was that deep and you still smiled at me and helped me through my high school life.God bless
Thanks Jenny....God bless you too!
The way this story has been narrated is so amazing..The story is a story many can relate too.. sometime as kids we try to dig information about us that leads us to even a bigger problem than not knowing it..
I tend to believe if you marry a woman with kids you should be ready to accept and love the kids as much as you love the mother..
Thanks for sharing your story, I can not imagine what pain and heaviness you have been carrying since birth. Praying you find peace through it all...
Thank you so much Grace..
wow ellaine she used to do my hair when i was in primary school keep up always jovial nobody could tell you were going through all this
Ellein, the radiance in your smile has never faded. Keep fighting and keep winning beautiful. You've got this.
Aaawwww...thank you dear! :-)
Many of us come from broken homes..Life was never easy for me till now.
Just trying to manage it
amal warsmw it gets better dear..it all starts with acceptance and a conscious decision to work on yourself everyday.
I wish you heal and be better so that you can live your full life.
Ellein..u have a very beautiful smile..i love your hair and ur very strong...may God be with you...
aaawwww....thanks Jane. so much love back to you!
Thanks for this..Undergoing mental issues myself and I can see there is light at the end of the tunnel.
I am glad that my story is helping you realize that. It is indeed possible to live with mental illness with proper therapy and medication. My dear, trust that all will be okay.
Wish you all the best. Hold on to that little hope and know it is a disease process. Not you to blame. Things sorting themselves out. When it is time, you'll feel better.
PRAYERS🙏🏼...
Thankyou for clarifying that therapy works and it's important to everyone. Mental health needs to be outspoken more often, in this kind of platforms thankyou Dada sphere for that. You lovely and am glad you are on a health recovering journey . Dear.
Ooooh geeez every detail of this story is my story,,,thanku for this,
Nasiekus are jovial and strong characters, I know one in Tz, thanks for sharing your story its inspiring
Let me digress... Very beautiful smile!
Back to issues. Had my journey too. Several episodes. And I identify with the uncertainty after an episode is over. I identify with the hope, a day at a time. Finding new meaning and a reconstructed you. Journeying on. Knowing and accepting even if slowly, what led you there. What helps me is avoiding repetitive thoughts if there's no action I can take. And taking action if any. But controlling automatic thoughts is not an easy thing.
Good that you pointed out that it is often a cry for help. To others around you and to yourself. This has scientific basis in evolutionary biology. Good that you also said it is a disease. We never blame people for having cancer or malaria or flu. No one should be blamed for being depressed. There are biopsychosocial factors beyond one's control.
Thank you for sharing your story. And hope. And assurance. That it can be done. May not be easy. But it is possible. And thanks for sharing your smile too!
And true, at times you need to be selfish. For if your body itself is crying out for attention, how can you be giving yourself to others? Charity begins at home. Generous and kind to self, so that we are complete enough to share ourselves with others. No pressure.
Thank you so much for your feedback and I am glad that mental health is getting this much care and attention. There is definately more than meets the eye.
True. Thank you for sharing your story Ellein. I advocate for mental health too. i've had almost a similar experience. We need more people to speak up.
Jacinta Mbuthia thank you too, sharing is caring and I am glad that we have people like you out there championing for the cause and platforms like Dadasphere
Truth is, if we who have trauma from our rocky upbringings don't heal, we will carry the same pain into our marriages and inflict it on our children parading it as culture. I'd like to think that no one necessarily taught our parents on how to heal before their own marriages but for the sake of the coming generations, we've gotta fight to heal. It is truly difficult but not impossible. Therapy has been my battle field, I hope each of you finds an avenue to work through your inner issues for however long it takes. Make your life one big recovery meeting and commit to healing forever. Your vulnerability will not only heal you but the generations afterwards. Let's normalize people working through deep-rooted issues rather than normalizing condemning people who drink, abuse drugs, sleep around, aren't religious e.t.c.
She's so beautiful
Quite powerful. If a person aint in your life its hard for them to tell what you are going through. Thanks for opening up and sharing your story
Life is full of wonders.
Depression is real
The best thing is that you got through it!
It is a journey, an everyday task to constantly stay above ground. But I am definately happier now!
@Ellein Nasieku, there is power in knowing the story and sharing your story this is quite brave of you. Confronting your past and the depression that came with it, the disappointment of family, issues that affect so many who look okay and successful but deep inside are masking alot of pain. I wish you all the best, you are still young luckily which means a lot of years and ability still in you to grow out, blossom and flourish. We take a lot for granted about our friends and family on their wellness and quite dismissive just because we didn't have more time to listen to their story too.
Thanks Kevin, we have alot of friends and family but its so easy to be judgy than to actually sit down,dig deeper and listen.
Very very proud of you beautiful and smart Nasieku.Mental health issues have nothing to do with country, race, religion or economic status. Mental illness is Real.Talk to one another. If you find someone down or acting odd don't judge them, try and listen to them. Keep their problems discreet. Later us lift each other up so that we don't have suicides, self destruction or worse.
Woooooow.... Just Woooooow...... When you think you know a person by what they look like or who you see, Having worked with you and kinda bonded.....ELLEIN, you are strong and a tough cookie babe. A gem..... #Speechless! Absolutely. Now i get everything! #HugsssssBabygirllll 💕💕💕
thank you so much darling. I am doing well and I thank God for this platform. It was a healing journey for me.
We need to be selfish and make ourselves happy from time to time.
yes, put yourself first at times.
That's always the saddest bit, society equates wellness, to "being fed, schooled and clothed" while truly there's more to that. You have a deep story and what you've been through has only made you stronger Ellein and you have a beautiful future Hunnie!
Wawira_ Asibiko thank you so much dear... it is reassuring
thnxs for sharing with us your life history.
Your story of how you got to bounce back is truly encouraging. I just wish we could embrace therapy because unfortunately that's the only way we get to heal without judgment and someone looking down on your issue. I have had my own share of family drama which has had a huge toll on me but therapy has really helped me.
Thank you for encouraging us and all the best in your Journey
Grace Nyambura thank you so much. Therapy is really a great thing, it is a safe place to be in!

Hello Rosemary, I am glad to have been an alternate voice to your story and please don't despair, there are many people out there willing to listen and offer help. I would definately advocate for a counsellor or a therapist.

What happened with the marriage preparations? Did you proceed with it?
Hilda E unfortunately we got stuck and I had to deal with my mental health first, it was a heavy subject that affected the whole family.. we under estimate the power of information
@@TheSamburuChronicles Sorry about that but I'm glad you chose to work on your health first. The rest can follow. I pray for your total healing and may God grant you the desires of your heart.
@@TheSamburuChronicles i can totally relate to your story. Depression for me begun with family drama too. My mother rejected me and at 26 years old right now, i do not even know her face. She is married to another man with children. My dad got to a point too and we had a huge falling out (coz of a whole load of issues that built up since i was 8yrs old) that he told me to leave (i left when i was 20). Double rejection from both parents threw me in a state of despair and depression that i maskes with a huge smile but i'd curl up and cry at night. I am okay now on my own. No connection to either of my parents. I'm at peace with being on my own and alone. I have huge trust issues and the pain floods back from time to time but i am okay. I am glad that you shared your story. So many people arw suffering in silence. Mental health and wellbeing has to be talked about more eapecially in this African society of ours.
@@reine924 I am truly humbled and God bless you too. Everything else will fall into place.
@@bluebird4815 Thank you so much dear and thank you for sharing your story too. I am glad you have the strength to actually talk and admit about the rejection, that is usually the toughest bit..accepting the current state and admitting to yourself. I will encourage you to trust and believe in yourself and the journey is never easy and we fall off from time to time. and all this is okay. Above all, love yourself, wake up and look at yourself in the mirror and realize how blessed and how strong you are. You are here despite all odds against you and you are working hard each day to make yourself a better person. I am proud of the young lady you are and I hope our paths cross one day!
God why is this story so similar to mine. Depression is real.
