Following the tragic death of Nollywood actress Jumoke Aderounmu a few days ago, Nollywood actor Jamiu Azeez has cried out to his fans and other colleagues that he is suffering from depression.
Jamiu Azeez disclosed that he has been depressed for over two years but has been dying in silence due to the fear of the public’s reactions.
He claimed that nothing has been working for him and he felt lost and unsure of who to confide in but got tired of putting a brave front along the line.
Jamiu Azeez then reached out to Toyin Abraham about his recent state of mind and shared their conversation on social media.
The vibrant actor expressed gratitude for the way the mother of one handled his confession. She immediately told him to calm her as they will find a solution. Jamiu Azeez wrote:
“Mummy Ire, @toyin_abraham, I know this might catch you off guard, but I simply had to do this. You over looked the fact that we dont really talk but you shown me so much love and gives me an assurance that everything is going to be fine.
The past two years have been a whirlwind for me like I’ve been losing everything, even my Mind. Thoughts of “Suicide” have been ringing in my head.
The fear of being mocked kept me silent. Nothing seemed to work, and I felt lost, unsure of who to confide in.
But the truth is, I grew tired of putting on a brave face and pretending to be okay.
So, yesterday, I mustered the courage to reach out to @toyin_abraham, and her response left me speechless. I feel compelled to express my deepest gratitude openly.
I’ve prayed for her countless times, but now I ask for your prayers too, please help me pray for @toyin_abraham and her family.”
