In 2019,I stayed in a mental health facility for a while. You see I& #39;ve battled clinical depression for over a decade. What broke my heart was for all the 13 years I& #39;ve worked I& #39;ve been paying fees, medical bills, food, rent for folk whose
only concern when I got hospitalised was
"you can& #39;t M-PESA?"
Even while abroad,my scholarship went into "responsibilities"
I didn& #39;t own even a decent suitcase, but I worked very hard.
1)I blocked every number of the texts asking for bills for 4 months

2) When they& #39;d find other numbers to call, I made it clear in very brutal terms I& #39;ll not be taking care of children of working able bodied people.

People can need rent, healthcare, food etc for a while so they can get their footing. Whole of this year, I& #39;ve given out all my consultancies, help said person deliver
Then I work with u to budget that cash then you& #39;re on your own

5)I judge each case to determine it really needs my attention. In most cases, for my relatives, they don& #39;t need my attention.
6) I& #39;ve put my money to MY creative businesses, things that make ME happy and more money. These days I& #39;m not working 18 hour days to pay fees for people who have just refused to apply themselves in fending for themselves
7) I sought therapy
You need therapy to slowly pull out of these things

8) I& #39;ve developed my inner psychopath to see them psychopaths from a faaaar
When you& #39;re an empath like me, you feel people& #39;s & animals& #39; pain in every nerve in your body. This spiritual gift can make you a target of abuse
There are 2 days I disappear. It& #39;s for sharpening that gift
