The Rise and Fall of My Mental Health With Sickle Cell
We all know that mental health and mental health issues are not talked about enough and I feel like it is because it is not encouraged in many homes, especially here in Nigeria.
Over the years, my mental health has been up and down. Growing up in a family where this type of conversation is not encouraged, I find it difficult to express my feelings or open up to anyone, even when I wanted to. I recently saw a video where a girl shared her story with sickle cell and she mentioned that sickle cell drains your confidence.
