I suffered depression for about 7 yrs. ThankGod for healing me.
7 YEARS!!! What happened?
you are loved , you are protected and you are respected
@@selbeeintimacy348 was just in a bag place mentally. Became diabetic at d age of 8. Was hospitalised a lot. Had to be taking insulin 3 times daily. I felt alone. Welll now I'm better
@@sunflowerlovesbees God bless you
@@feliciaakabe9364 Wow that was really a lot, sorry.

I pray God answers your prayers.

Depression Depression Depression!!!! Thank you Toyin for sharing you story with us. It gladdens my heart when I hear success stories of people who overcome depression, anxiety & fear. It's really is a battle. The greatest battle in life is indeed the one we fight within us.
I know exactly how depression feels like .it's the worst experience anyone can go through coz it destroys you where nobody can see except you and God. I truly thank God for healing me ❤️😊
I had to click the video when I saw Toyin, God bless you ma
She is so intelligent and articulate.
Loved this open interview ❤️
Depression is a destroyer. And Its the voice of the stranger(the devil). I thank God for reviving her JOY back to life.
Thank you for bringing awareness to mental illness. I am a therapist and I understand how difficult it is to share your story. Depression is real, it is not a disease of the rich or poor. I really appreciate your honesty. God bless you
In life I think it is the fear of someone taking advantage of you that brings anxiety and depression. We all need someone we can trust in our lives in one way or the other and we have to give the allowance for people to be human as we are human. Learn to let go, love yourself and forgive yourself for mistakes of your past and protect your heart for your future.
100% 🙌🏾
Pain push you to progress if you manage it well and God on your side
Waooo, true talk GOD bless you
Depression is like thief in the night. One never knows when it can creep up to steal one’s joy. Thank God Toyin has support to get her through it. Mental health is not discriminatory, it can happen to anyone. Chude is also a great listener and interviewer. Love this. The best part is when Toyin said “I don’t need pity party”. Strong support network helps a lot.
Well, having a pity party is relative. I am a mental health support worker. Sometimes you use the strong support network method, hmmm, it breaks them the more cos they can't go at your pace. It worsens it in some cases. The pity method helps as well, you have to study the client, and keep cognisance with which best suits their personality. Above all, Empathy heals depression. And you trying to bring one out of depression can get drowned. Above all.. constant positive affirmations heals a depressed person. There is a very thin line between depression and being happy. It usually starts with lack of self satisfaction, lack of love and Empathy from people around you, fear of the known and unknown!!!! Practicing gratitude, helps as well, but that's during the healing process. It is tough. May God help us all in this journey of humanity.
@@nedgetravels818 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽Very well said. If you know, you know. God bless you and what you guys do, in Social services.
@@nedgetravels818 thank you for sharing
Depression is real. Thanks for sharing your story Toyin!!
God bless you🙏🏻
I just love this woman 🥺❤️❤️❤️I love her so much she said when it comes to matter of the heart you cannot advice anybody just pray for them hmmm
He who feels it,knows it better....and very unexplainable sometimes.went thru my own share of fear,anxiety,depression,rejection,hearing voices and constant panick attacks the whole of last year.(2021).
But in this same year is when i understood this word of God:i will never leave nor forsake u,i will deliver u out of trouble six times,and on the 7th time,i will make u untouchable.not given us the spirit of fear,but of boldness,power&sound mind.
When the mind is down it attracts people who are not usually good for you. You become vulnerable to everyone. Past traumatic experiences, bad habits, burnout and not creating a calm and balance in life leads to a lot.
Depression manifests in different ways: For some it's withdrawal, some excessive talking, excessive shopping, excessive eating, excessive eating etc. Just pay attention to your body and actions, and open up to the right people. The world is getting more complex and the chances of many people going to depression is high. Ensure you are not alone for too long!
Alone how
@@chidinmaorie7700 Being by yourself. If you suffer depression and you are by yourself most of the time, you are prone to all kinds of thoughts which might be dangerous. Get company, Get help, talk to someone! Music helps too.
You're very right about excessive talking. Your comment is an eye opener
@@eseagboola8704 Thank you
Sometimes that true alone time might just be what you need to start to breath properly without any pressures or need for validation. There is no one route for everybody
Listening to Toyin is inspiring, watching her is motivating...I am hopeful and believe it can only get better 🙌
I can relate.
Atimes we cannot explain how exactly we are feeling.
Her gown is beautiful. Sir Chude I love your works and I learn from your hosting skills

Chude!!! Thank you for bringing my sweet momma to your channel 🥰🥰 the section was power, thank you for being open for help when you needed it @Toyin Abraham!!!! I love you 😘💕❤️
The Holy Spirit is the solution to depression.Just invite Him and watch the peace that overshadows and overwhelms you.
Thank God for you mum ire.Your joy be permanent
Excellent!... I enjoyed this!... "I'LL RATHER HAVE A CUT THAN HAVE A PSYCHOLOGICAL PROBLEM"... It's good to have a sane/sound mind. Kudos!
I'm going through same for 4 years now. There's no one but Jesus helping me each day. I encourage myself with songs, Christian and educative movies and THE WORD of God. I can't afford professional counselor, i have no person to talk to. I speak to Jesus each moment the sorrow becomes intense. I find solace in preaching God's Word and counselling others in pain. The success in counselling brings joy. Sometimes, i need a counselor myself and i ask "WHO COUNSELS THE COUNSELOR?
THE HOLYSPIRIT HAS BEEN MY STRENGTH.
I admit i really need professional help.
I can't wait to meet Toyin Abraham; she's so humble 🤗❤️💞💗.
I have met her twice in her apartment,she is a very good person, very down to earth, her openess is her key to success. She is too plain and that is what is working for her, her heart is pure
I saw her many years ago in London
The interview was made for me! Thanks so much Toyin.
Depression is actually real have been in this state before. To leave in fear isn’t good at it’s not good for our health thank God I came across this video I need it.
Depression is real , it comes anytime either you are rich or not , something will just hook your mind & put fear / sadness into ones mind , but if you can pray fast & rebuked any evil thinking about life , you can quickly overcome it & back to your normal self , May God continue to strengthen you my beautiful & hardworking baby girl , forward ever , backward never
Facts. I always tell my husband that we underestimate the power of speaking in tongues, speaking positively and praying in relations to sad moods and all, we keep moving positively daily 👌👌
Yes! Prayers and holding on to God’s words does wonder!
............It’s a fast pill to depression but then It’s also good to visit a counselor for follow up.
Watch in the end of 2023 ❤❤❤love this lady 🎉🎉
Just found this channel and I can say Chude is the Nigerian Oprah !
Fantastic interview. Chude, amazing listener. Thank you Toyin for sharing your experience.
What a wonderful interview.....
Have a more from Toyin today
First, if you want a better thing for yourself, you need to change some people in your life.
And when it comes to the matter of heart, you can't actually Advise anyone.
Thank God for your life Toyin.
Her last words are deep
Beautiful ma'am.I love you and thank God for your life.I suffered depression too but I didn't get anyone to help.God and music helped me that's why I love music so much
Ummmm, Toyin, your story touches the heart. You are beautiful, strong, intelligent, compassionate and really gifted in what you do. Thank you for sharing this story, it will definitely help someone. God bless and continue to strengthen you. Much love. Chude you are the bomb, really.
So many women are in need of this message. Thank you for this beautiful interview.
So happy to hear this❤️ I pray I overcome what I'm going through presently
Depression is real, only the person going through it can explain it all. Glad she was linked to the right people to assist her in getting better . It’s sound like schizophrenic but when you are work with the right people , who don’t sell you out and let you open up about yourself without any judgements you can overcome even the impossible I pray it does not reoccur and things move forward for her and her family. She’s right when it comes to the matter of love you can not advise them. She’s right o .
God forbid . The Almighty has done it for her. Joy, happiness, and above all these, I wish her love.
No, she will not have a relapse. Thank God, hers wasn't even the severe form of it.
The severe form of it is a psychiatrist case. And treatment is drugs and therapy.
It is very expensive to treat. That is why when a person feels downcast for no reason....the person should talk, talk to a mature and understanding people.
My dearest sister and favourite actor of all time. Pray that you continue to grow in wisdom and strength of the Lord. Your experience is worth sharing and to learn from.
She’s a great actress love from 🇺🇸
I have a definition for what im feeling now. Thank u Toyin for this
Thank you Toyin.. A great actress.. Loved the interview.. And depression is real..
After listening to this,my life would have a new turnaround 🙏🙏
Dépression is real!! I was in the same position year ago. Thank you for cheering ma.
She is indeed very bright.
Dearie! Thank God for His unabated mercies on your life
What toyin described is more than depression oh. I’m glad that she is doing better.
She and funke blew my mind, life is always in stages . Keep passing it.
I enjoyed every bit of this interaction. God bless you really good Chude!
I so much love this session with Aunty toyin
Thank God for your life ma
God is definitely taking you to a greater place
This thing call depression eats silently,
And sadly enough; most times, it's so difficult to walk away from that thing that keeps you depressed!
God help us all!
We all have a dose of depression A bad experience can push it out. Good music & books are good. Be around positive friends who are good listeners and have good habits. Most of all get to be friends with God
This came at the right time....Thanks for sharing
Strong woman!!!
I celebrate you strength ma
Thanks chude for the chat. It's amazing watching this
I just LOVE this woman🥰🥰🥰
Thank God for your life....sounds more like anxiety and depression. Your testimony is permanent Aunty Toyin. ❤
This is a touching story, thank you for sharing. Depression is real...God will continue to be with you Toyin
What if you don't have anybody around you to cheer you up or anybody to talk to 😭😭😭😭 I hope I can also find happiness one day
Dont worry, its well with you in Jesus name
Wowww! I really enjoyed the interview and feel now that depression can only be conquered with all round positivity.
Word, I would rather have a cut that I can treat than to have a physiological cut that can't be mend. Oluwatoyin I thank God for your life, you are a diamond. Continue to bask in the grace of God. 🥰
The last statement she made got me. I can treat a cut, but a psychological issue can made me have a cut that might not heal.
Hello Toyin, thank you so much for the awareness you have brought to mental health illness using your experience to bring enlightenment to what is seen as a stigma in our society, I applaud you👏🏼. You are intelligent, a beautiful and strong black woman, continue to be you🙏🏼. I also wanted to say that some of these symptoms you said you experienced such
as the feeling of being low, fear, depressed…resonates with me.The depression could may be peri menopausal symptoms, research has shown that some women begin to experience some of these symptoms from their middle 30’s. More so, some of these symptoms can begin to surface even though you continue to have regular periods. Pls research online and you will find a lot of resources and information that will also help alongside the help you already have in place. Much luv xxx
2 Timothy 1:7 “For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind”
Thank you for inbuilt fighting spirit and God's grace to handle depression.
It's d way chude says yes for me
Toyin make a film from this your story. I would gladly b a writer of the movie
Hmmm, God bless you mama Toyin.
I love the word "Willingly"
Most times, all that I do is to focus on my counselor's mistakes, I never have the willingness to leave my state of depression because I feel good in it while I still leave with my agony of bitterness and pain.
I so much love this interview 💝 God bless your home.
Am going through this depression right now to open up is had for me bcs people around me if I tell them what am going true the next day I will hear it outside and is way me down
@@taiwoibrahim1394 Please talk to someone outside those circles. May Allah heal you my brother. It is sad, our society doesn't help the matter
Thanks for sharing your story
God bless you ...I have been there.This is a hard thing to explain to people because they only know the text book meaning of depression unless they are in your shoes or experiencing it personally they will not know. .People take it so lightly. 🤷 So, it is good to have good friends and people around you who truly care about what you are going thru...Glad that you shared 😊 People associate mental health with being crazy but that is the furthest from the truth..Mental sickness is just as important as physical health and it can affect any one ...it does not discriminate.🙏🙏
This is very deep 🔥🔥
I would rather have a cut than have psychological problem coz cut you will treat and it will heal while psychological problem can leave the biggest cut ever........... True talk Toyin
I really do enjoy this Session 😍🥰🥰👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🙌🏼
This is really wonderful show that helps alot👏👏 bravo Toyin you're indeed worrior 👍❤️💋
I’m happy to be here💃🏾
Love the dress and the pose. Jesus is Lord over depression.
I love her so much ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Love this Interview.
Go Chude!
We love you so much aunty Toyin
Seriously depression is demonic.Thank God you overcame it ma through the instrumentality of your manager and counselor . Love you ma ❤️
Thanks for sharing...thoroughly enjoyed this episode for many reasons including the rendition at the end 😀. Thanks to the guest, the questions, and #withChude 👌
So great, motivating and inspiring. I learn alots from your story Toyin Abraham. God continue to keep you.
Beautiful background….where is the place?, Chude is doing Brilliantly .
Africans don’t really know what people going through depression go through….depression is really underrated. All I can say is depression is really real because I also went through it…. I finally had the courage to talk about it on my channel and people kept saying “ you were going through things and never told anyone “?? Let’s be nice to everyone because we actually don’t know who is going through what🥰🥰🥰
Depression is real, Toyin appears happy all the time and makes people laugh but in her privacy she was fighting depression. Let's all just be kind, you don't know what people are going through. I am happy she had the right people around her. It's okay to change your friends, they might not be helpful to you. Alicia Keys also mentioned how she had to reorganise her life and it meant people around her had to change. May afflictions never arise again for Toyin.
That song got me teary
Everyone needs a psy the best psy is god but not someone with money reward or sent by a system ! and Someone simple yet strong wise sent by god that will always love u for who u r beautify u ! And surround u with positive vibes and thoughts or everything that comes from your flesh or senses to keep a good relationship ! Amen may god protect us!
I’ve been there before, just as explained. Absolutely nothing in this world makes sense to you. It’s insane but I overcame it with therapy, writing, talking about it and yea I prayed.
God, story of my Life.....who to talk to always the problem still.......
I just love Toyin
Please keep making us laugh 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🤗🤗🤗🥰🤗🤗
Wonderful Toyin
Seriously this is me right now, l fear everything, even my success. I fear the future alot, I love stay alone and in a lonely and quiet place.
