Suicide Awareness

 A media personality revealed that he attempted taking his own life twice. He made this known speaking on a task titled “Mental health.” He blamed parents for not being serious about their children’s mental health.

Suicide is NEVER an option. Always make people around you happy because the Nigeria of today is enough to make many people feel depressed.

We have a lot of psychopaths and narcissists walking about, not excluding folks with PTSD, chronic depression, personality disorders, etc. The worst part is that these individuals are unaware of their nature, making it even harder to seek help.

You hear stories of gruesome murder, and wonder how someone could get the nerve to take a life. Are these murderers actually normal people? Alas, they are always diagnosed with one mental illness or the other. If they had been confined earlier in one mental facility upon diagnose, that would have saved the society from many mayhems such people have caused and sadly, are still causing.

Life is worthwhile when there are good memories to cling on to. Make these moments count and make others happy too.

We need to encourage balance in our lives. Remember that a sane mind is a peaceful mind. Extra curricular activities help to keep people from suicide.

We invite you to the TLF Centre to engage in wholesome activities, Mondays to Fridays.

Story Time

  Lisungu Chieza from Zimbabwe was 26 when she was told in 1996 that she was HIV+. "This started my long journey of coping with being HIV+. My husband died in my arms at home eight months later." Not only did Lisungu have to cope with her own illness and losing her husband, but her husband's family also wrongly blamed her for his death. They came to her house, took away his things, and said, "If those children of yours get sick, don't even call us. We won't have anything to do with them or you." They would not even let her go to her husband's burial. "I gave up a college course I had planned to do. All I thought about was death. I neglected my children and myself." But her mother supported her. Lisungu began to find hope again and joined an HIV support group. Then she started to help others who were also HIV+, and took a college course about HIV-AIDS. She spoke at HIV meetings with the young people in her church. She believes that it is ver...

Why Do You Smoke?

6 personalized approaches to quitting forever.  Everyone smokes—and quits—for different reasons, and the key to getting smoke-free for life is to find out why you are smoking and then change those behaviors. If you are a Recreational or Social Smoker, you may feel that your limited smoking poses no serious medical harm to yourself or others. You may, however, ignore warning signs that your occasional smoking is progressing into addiction, especially during periods of stress or increased alcohol use. A periodic review of these warning signs may help motivate you to consider becoming smoke-free. The Scared-to-Quit Smoker has no end of reasons (excuses) to put off going smoke-free to some future date. Sometimes it helps to focus on just quitting for one day. If you can quit for a day, you can quit every day. This realization can be a great confidence builder, and helps to decrease your fears about not smoking “ever again.” Forever is too big a word for many addicts; thus the old adage...
