- Mental health has been challenging to discuss in society, as people tend to associate mental illness with stigma. Wariimi vulnerably and boldly invites us to her lived experience with mental health to raise awareness so that others don't have to go through it all alone.
Engage provides a platform for ordinary and extraordinary people to Inform. Inspire. Influence.
👇🏿 From @Letsgomental- Wariimi Karingi.
Hi all, I want to express my deepest gratitude to each and every one of you who took the time to watch my video and leave such encouraging comments. Your overwhelming support and kind words have touched my heart and reinforced my belief that I am on the right track in my advocacy work for mental health.
To those who physically attended and cheered me on when anxiety threatened to overcome me, your presence meant the world to me, were it not for you, I would not have managed to share my story.
Unfortunately I'm not able to respond to every comment individually, but please know that I appreciate each and every one of them. If you would like to reach out to me directly, you can contact me at wkaringi@letsgomental.org or letsgomentalke@gmail.com or via our social media, IG:letsgomental.ke LinkedIn: Let's Go Mental Kenya. Our website is currently unavailable, I will update this post with our url once it's back up.
Once again, thank you for being part of this journey and for helping to spread awareness about mental health.
Wariimi gal 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽!! You did well for yourself and for schooling us on mental health.. Wariimi you are stronger than you think. You will be fully well soon.God has a purpose for you, keep believing!.
I will love to communicate with you one on one currently am going through alot just lost 3, people in my family starting this year.
My grandma grand Papa and now just last month I lost my Dad and this hit me so hard .
Have been trying to get enough sleep but it is not working instead I get headache a whole day
You did it,said it infront of people!Am afraid to even text on whatsapp!
Wariimi, you did so well and gracefully so❤❤❤
A😊1A😊 all
Wow..just wow. I'm happy to know that I am not alone. It's 2 months now since I got discharged from a mental hospital,was there for 3 months,still fighting for my life and I won't give up. It's not easy for me now after leaving hospital;which was a controlled environment,adjusting in the outside life is what I'm fighting with now. Like I said earlier,I'm not giving up and I won't 😊 Depression and anxiety is an illness that needs medication,stop telling us that we are lazy or not trying enough. A promotion at work might be your achievement,but getting out of bed and having a shower is an achievement for me.
Am riding on your optimism and am sure something beautiful eventually comes out of this. Am proud of you mama!
This is as unscripted as it can get. Very powerful and authentic talk. Deserves a standing ovation.
My thoughts exactly.
This is the true definition of being human. Thank you for showing your vulnerability and bravery.
Thank you 😊😊
This is one of the most powerful statements on mental health ever told. Seeing Waiirimi push through, almost giving in them asking for help and finally telling the story. Powerful 🤝🏽♥️
You did it better than many of us can ever do it ,by simply standing in front of the world and sharing the most vulnerable aspect of your life. Nothing should scare you, you have crossed the bridge and came out stronger than you can ever imagine. Karingi Karingi you can do it
Well said.
I do appreciate the kind words!
Her laughter😊. Her smile😊. Infectious😊
What a strong beautiful woman you are! ❤❤ Thank you for sharing your story! You did amazing ❤❤❤. Keep fighting! We love you! ❤
I would tell this lady that she's the prettiest human I've ever seen and this is the definition of being brave❤
This comes hard ,especially to a parent, while you know that your kid is going through sth that you can not solve just like that..
One of the greatest honors of my life was watching you push through to tell that story, it was a powerful “human” moment! Well done Wariimi for bravely sharing your story and that of many of us who have at one point or another, or still continue to struggle with mental health.
Thank you for sharing! Such encouraging words.
Thank you friend for the kind words.
She did it, She did it
Yes she did!!
Thank you for being so brave with your life Wariimi. You are a true warrior. I pray for your healing and strength on this journey 💝
Amen
You did wonderfully, i applaud you mami, and you are beautiful.
I'm Mr. Odhiambo and i'd like to underscore how brave Karingi is.. #Good Job
All is and will be well Wariimi. Maombi kwa wingi!
You are strong girl. That would only be resilience to keep standing on the stage even after encountering an anxiety attack
She was amazing
I love when we are human. This story gave me goosebumps. Thank you Wariimi. You are a winner.
Thank you Wariimi for sharing. I'm 107 days after my discharge from hospital with the same abnormalities you have. Let's go mental and assist others achieve wellness and get a diagnosis as a bare minimum .
Thanks for sharing. It will encourage others to seek help and healing..
What a courageous young lady. She felt the anxiety but did it anyway. Isn't this what life is all about? Feeling the fear but fighting it with the light of your faith and spirit? You are released from that spirit of anxiety and depression in the mighty name of Jesus! It shall be well with you. Amen.
Karimi you are a strong lady!.. your therapy is an understanding man
Your personal story and capacity to stand on stage and share it is your super power Wariimi. Hold on to that power and keep telling your story! Meanwhile, we all need an Agatha in our lives ♥♥♥
Yes, we do. To hold us when we feel afraid.
Well done Wariimi. Keep going strong 💪.
Powerful. Poignant. We all need an Agatha in our lives.
Good job.Thanks for sharing.
Powerful and takes lots of confidence. Try out Psychological therapy before going for Psychiatric treatment.
Hii Wariimi❤ I'm a depression/anxiety survivor that's been on meds for 8 years (we're so similar its weird!). You're not alone. At times things fall apart but then at times its possible to smile so we wait for when its possible to smile. I'm proud of you! Cheers
This is profound. Thank you for sharing
It's always nice to hear from a fellow warrior! You got this dear, keep pushing.
And from experience, I discovered that anxiety does not really go away no matter the amount of medication and therapy one takes in. We only learn to live with it. The reason why support is key. To help us in pushing through.
@@ruthmburu2643 precisely. Anxiety isn't malaria, it won't go away just bc you're on meds or exercising or having therapy.
Thanks for being vulnerable.
Waaaaah so emotional, I've gone through depression, low B.P, low Blood level & 💔. Don't forget family rejection after loosing my parents.
I personally went to a nurse for B.P then he referred me to a physiatrists, I battled for 2yrs. thereafter I was pregnant, unfortunately I miscarriaged.
I've never drink nor smoke.
I thank God it all happened before COVID-19, now I'm a strong bubblish woman even imagine I'm in mid 30's without a child but hainishitui.
Go girl, you are a gem destined for greatness
Extremely inspiring...mental health is a tough journey
Ohh Wariimi,am sending you so much love and peace.Their is a time I used to struggle with anxiety and even tremble.I sang through it and sought the Lord.I sought the Lord and He heard and He delivered me
Honestly this is one of the most powerful talks i have listened to! I broke down at some point 😢 but your resilience even when you felt like you can't do it, you still pushed yourself. Asking Agatha to come stand with you was so powerful, shows we all need support and we should not shy away from asking for help!
Have been following you for some time now, and i must say this was so inspiring! Thank you for doing it Afraid! Thank you for being bold and authentic.
Thank you for such a wonderful comment.
Meeeeen...This is so deeep!

Bravo Karingi for speaking for us who suffer in silence due to depression and anxiety.

Very brave Wariimi. May God continue to be your rock even as you help others.
Super proud of you Wã. Thank you for pushing through and sharing from authentic vulnerability . God bless you.
I love this Wariimi you are the epitome of do it afraid but do it anyway. You don't know how much encouragement you've given people with anxiety standing there as the poster child for all those battling so hard with this disorder but still wanting to stand proud & make their impact felt on the world stage & leave a footprint that they lived bravery. Bravo gal what a legacy! You are a star girl 💫

You are one strong girl Wariimi. Thank you for showing anxiety attack who the real boss is by not letting it overcome your courage. You are a winner beautiful girl. I am so proud of you.
wow, keep up the fight, believe me you're not just fighting for yourself but for many, we need you and your purpose is valid, lots of hugs from me, thank you so very much for sharing
Oh God!
I have a sick brother and the way we fight 😢😢😢.
He is the infected we are the affected.
Trying to understand him
Dealing with a mental illness in a family is not easy, it requires a lot of patience, learning and understanding on how best to manage and support your loved one. It is important to remember that this person does not fully understand themselves and their condition either, explaining exactly how someone feels is quite hard. What I shared in the video barely scratches the surface.
Fantastic job Wariimi. Thank you so much for being vulnerable...you have helped many😊..
I salute you ✋
Thank for sharing your story Wariimi. You are a fighter, a brave fighter! Your story is not in vain. Through you, many many people have become aware of the importance of mental health issues. You will undoubtedly tough many many more lives through Lets Go Mental.
Hugs, hugs, hugs. And lots of love.
this was awesome to watch and listen ❤
That takes great courage! Bravo Wariimi😊 Proud of you. May God bring you complete healing and restoration. May he use this platform to connect you with destiny helpers for the work you are doing. He is well able!
Thank you

Lovely girl best best you are an overcomer
Bravo gal, you are strong. Keep on believing in yourself. Jehovah is with you. You have the right inner circle there is hope it will be over soon.
Life is for the living gal, appreciate it.
This is bold and beautiful. Good job and thank you for sharing 🙏
Your story is powerful and you're so brave. I also tremble and sweat when i have to speak infront of many people. I just assumed it was stage fright
You are one strong girl Wariimi, doing it scared. I'm honestly inspired.
You are a hero! you did it. God bless you; thanks for sharing and being a voice and light to the world. You are needed!!!!
God in heaven is watching you. He will fulfill your purpose. Sending love light and hugs.
You spoke from the heart and shared your experience on mental health which most people suffer silently. Thank you for shining the light in this area and removing the stigma that we have embraced by our silence. Mental health is part of our health just like blood pressure or diabetes. We just need to treat it as such and help our family/friends who are living with mental health. Again, thank you for sharing!
Great job wariimi. Not many who can share their personal stories many of us are dying alone. Brave girl for your story we av no energy to share our own.
You did so well!
Am struggling with this monster since 2010.. I have taken medication for a long while but this thing is not going away.... my 2 lovely kids are keeping me going on but most of the times it's super hard!
I trust that one day soon I will wake up from this horrible nightmare!
God be with us all suffering from this thing!
Keep declaring every day that jesus christ is my lord and greatest is that he live in me then he that in the world. Keep it louder in your quiet place and you will see results, test it my dear it never ever disappoint anyone who ask for help
To God be the glory that your relationship with Him is thriving. You are an overcomer. I pray that your attitude towards all these keeps improving for you to scale higher altitudes.
Very powerful talk. Keep strong keep fighting 💪God bless you.
I am so proud of you for registering Let's Go Mental
Am smiling. I wish you the best my Sister.
Wariimi.... My heart goes out to you. I know you have fought to be where you are right now. Am proud of you.... Thank you for sharing this, means the world to a lot of us!! Be blessed.
Just beautiful❤❤...mental health isn't talked about enough in our continent
Oh Wariimi.. I love you. You’re so brave.
Did great!!...
You are so BRAVE
Absolutely lovely.
Oh my heart💜 I have never resonated with a talk like this. I painfully relate. A gnawing feeling in your tummy, a tightness in your chest, dread, a feeling like the world is going to collapse and swallow you. 7 years now since my diagnosis. We push on, I tell myself I'm not going to give up on myself.
Thank you for your courage and determination 💜
I'm cheering you on!
Thank you Wariimi for sharing your story. One day this will be behind you. Hugs and more hugs to you. You can and will fight this!

Go go! More power and grace!
Hugs Wariimi! And, thank you for sharing your story and showing us what bravery looks like. You did great!!!

Agatha, thank you for holding space for her and being an example of how we can sometimes hold space for those in our lives who may need it.
Hugs Wariimi, For being brave and doing afraid... ❤
