About Me

 I'm Jessica Nnaemeka, I'm from Anambra state in Nigeria. A college student, I study at University of annamdi Azikiwe. 

         I decided to start a blog about "Mental Health" because I've had experiences of being overwhelmed with feelings which caused a lot of damage to me but over time, I got better and healed. I didn't do it all by myself, I had friends I could confide in, I went for therapy and most of all, it all strengthened my relationship with God. I want to use blogging as a means to learn more about others and myself too. And I hope to use my contents to help people struggling mentally.
