Jael comes from a very musical family and begins singing as soon as she can talk. She wrote her first short song when she was 4 years old and performed it with a backing band on stage at the church she grew up in. She began to compose more songs and would perform on stage with her father’s band at gigs, playing across Australia.

?DEPRESSION; A DEATH SENTENCE?

--David David

Recently, a 47-year-old female accountant committed suicide in Lagos, Nigeria, after suffering from severe depression for many years. Her death sparked conversations about depression all over social media.

Those of us at GYMHA hope this article will help ease the pain any reader may be suffering from depression and bring such a person to the beckoning light of peace.

Depression is classified as a mood disorder. It may be described as a feeling of sadness, loss, or anger that interferes with a person’s everyday activities. However, one of the best definitions of depression I have read is, “Depression is anger turned inward.”

FIVE MINUTES OF THERAPY

Do you feel overwhelmed, underestimated, unappreciated or are you generally feeling the weight of the world on you? Has the pandemic caused a stroll on your emotional and mental well-being?

Whatever is weighing you down will not totally destroy you. Your pain, frustrations and disappointments are valid. You don’t need to navigate through life alone, we are here to help you through your storm.

Emotional intelligence doesn’t refer to you compressing your emotions at different intervals, it means appropriately expressing your emotions while being aware of another person’s emotions so as not to injure them. Building a strong emotional intelligence will help you navigate through life’s curvy graph.
