War Zone Experience : Gaining Back My Sanity

in psychology •  4 years ago 

For more than 3weeks now, my emotional health has been on a downward trend due to the chaos in my country of Nigeria occasioned by the #Endsars worldwide campaign against police brutality and bad governance.

The situation saw many state governors imposing a 24hours curfew to curb the 'perceived' chaos. In my area, gunshots sound and unannounced Sprint race due to the crisis was almost a norm.

Those events saw me edging towards losing my sanity as I tend to stare into the environment lost in deep thoughts most times. Granted, I still manage to attend to some errands but inside me, my productivity level reduced drastically and that affected my being around here too :(

I am just going shove those feelings aside and pretend to go back to a measure of normal life. That's my resolve and I hope to stick to it. The world is full of filth and adaptation is one of the qualities of humans. I am adapting fine.

I do take banana and milk smoothie to help myself sometimes based on a colleague's suggestion. I have no cash to spend on a psychological doctor for now unfortunately :)
