Wife to former nominated senator Isaac Mwaura, has revealed that she is suffering from depression, anxiety and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).

Nelius Mukami revealed that living with depression, anxiety and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) has been an arduous life experience.

In a post shared one of her social media accounts, Mukami said that her condition has drained her and continues to drain her since it requires a lot of effort to cope up with.

“It has taken a lot from me and it continues taking. It takes so much effort just to avoid it and it still finds me even in my happiest of days and in my solitude,” she stated.

She further stated that the condition some times affects her morning routine, saying that is is at times difficult to find the strength to wake up and be functional.

“Nobody understands that it takes everything in me just to drag myself out of bed. Depression continues to rob me of experiences, memories and people. I find myself feeling broken and unworthy. I have lost so many parts of myself, sometimes I stare in the mirror and I cannot recognise who I am anymore,” she said.

In a past interview with a local publication, Mukami said that life took a downward spiral after she lost two-thirds of her triplets.

“I have been fighting depression since 2018 in April, immediately after I left the hospital. My mental health journey has been a huge rollercoaster and very hard to explain because not many will understand. People think it’s a state of mind that you can just shake off with enough motivation but it is not… At least not for me,” Mukami added.

She further stated that she is currently grateful for each day she lives.

“I know deep down that I am not broken and I am worthy. I know there is still so much for me to conquer. I have spent so much time grieving the person I was and forgotten to be grateful for the woman am becoming. I am a work in progress,” she concluded her candid post.
