1
00:00:00,970 --> 00:00:04,000
Unafanya nini katika jukwaa hili

2
00:00:05,390 --> 00:00:08,508
mbele ya watu wote hawa?

3
00:00:08,532 --> 00:00:09,906
(Kicheko)

4
00:00:09,930 --> 00:00:11,081
Kimbia!

5
00:00:11,105 --> 00:00:12,108
(Kicheko)

6
00:00:12,132 --> 00:00:13,310
Kimbia sasa.

7
00:00:14,734 --> 00:00:17,701
Hii ni sauti ya hofu yangu inaongea.

8
00:00:18,539 --> 00:00:21,475
Hata kama hakuna tatizo lolote,

9
00:00:21,499 --> 00:00:25,458
Kuna wakati huwa napata hisia za mahangaiko,

10
00:00:25,482 --> 00:00:28,444
kama hatari inaninyemelea kwenye kona.

11
00:00:29,057 --> 00:00:31,173
Unaona, miaka michache iliyopita,

12
00:00:31,197 --> 00:00:33,694
Niligundulika na ugonjwa wa msongo wa hofu

13
00:00:33,718 --> 00:00:34,868
na mawazo --

14
00:00:35,289 --> 00:00:37,709
hali mbili ambazo huenda pamoja.

15
00:00:38,073 --> 00:00:42,338
Sasa, kuna wakati nisingemuambia mtu yoyote,

16
00:00:42,362 --> 00:00:44,822
hususani mbele ya umati mkubwa.

17
00:00:44,846 --> 00:00:46,373
Kama mwanamke mwenye ngozi nyeusi,

18
00:00:46,397 --> 00:00:50,037
Nimetakiwa kujijengea ustahimilivu wa hali ya juu ili kufanikiwa.

19
00:00:50,061 --> 00:00:52,040
Na kama watu wengi katika jamii yangu,

20
00:00:52,064 --> 00:00:55,872
Nilikuwa na imani potofu kwamba msongo wa mawazo ni kiashiria cha udhaifu,

21
00:00:55,896 --> 00:00:57,432
udhaifu wa tabia.

22
00:00:57,456 --> 00:00:59,030
Lakini sikuwa dhaifu;

23
00:00:59,054 --> 00:01:00,524
Nilikuwa nimefanikiwa kwa hali ya juu.

24
00:01:00,925 --> 00:01:03,128
Nilipata Shahada ya Uzamili kwenye masomo ya vyombo vya habari

25
00:01:03,152 --> 00:01:07,261
na kuwa na kazi za hadhi ya juu katika tasnia ya filamu na televisheni.

26
00:01:07,734 --> 00:01:10,784
Nimeshinda hata tuzo mbili za Emmy kwa uchapakazi kazi wangu.

27
00:01:11,436 --> 00:01:14,452
Hakika, Nilitumika sana,

28
00:01:14,476 --> 00:01:17,146
Nilikosa hamu katika vitu nilivyozoea kuvifurahia,

29
00:01:17,170 --> 00:01:18,468
nilikula mara chache,

30
00:01:18,492 --> 00:01:20,395
nilisumbuka kupata usingizi

31
00:01:20,419 --> 00:01:23,043
na nilijihisi kutengwa na kushuka thamani.

32
00:01:23,562 --> 00:01:24,914
Lakini kuwa na masononeko?

33
00:01:24,938 --> 00:01:26,462
Hapana, sio mimi.

34
00:01:27,921 --> 00:01:30,127
Ilinichukua wiki kadhaa kabla ya kukubaliana na hali yangu,

35
00:01:30,151 --> 00:01:31,580
lakini daktari alikuwa sahihi:

36
00:01:31,604 --> 00:01:32,882
Nilikumbwa na msongo wa mawazo.

37
00:01:33,411 --> 00:01:36,959
Bado, sikumwambia mtu yoyote kuhusu majibu ya uchunguzi.

38
00:01:37,522 --> 00:01:39,135
Nilihisi aibu.

39
00:01:39,159 --> 00:01:41,676
Sikudhani nilipaswa kusongwa na mawazo.

40
00:01:42,418 --> 00:01:44,048
Nilikuwa na maisha yenye kipaumbele

41
00:01:44,072 --> 00:01:47,172
yenye familia iliyo na upendo na kazi iliyo na mafanikio.

42
00:01:47,708 --> 00:01:50,300
Na nilipowaza kuhusu maafa yasiyofikirika

43
00:01:50,324 --> 00:01:52,812
ambayo mababu zangu walipitia katika nchi hii

44
00:01:52,836 --> 00:01:54,804
ili niwe na maisha bora,

45
00:01:54,828 --> 00:01:56,506
aibu yangu iliongezeka zaidi.

46
00:01:56,980 --> 00:01:59,073
Nilikuwa nimesimama kwenye mabega yao.

47
00:01:59,097 --> 00:02:00,699
Ningewezaje kuwaangusha?

48
00:02:01,382 --> 00:02:03,435
Nilinyanyua kichwa changu na kuangalia juu,

49
00:02:03,459 --> 00:02:05,819
na kuweka tabasamu katika uso wangu

50
00:02:05,843 --> 00:02:07,551
na kutoiambia nafsi yoyote.

51
00:02:10,466 --> 00:02:13,743
Mnamo tarehe 4, Julai mwaka 2013,

52
00:02:14,479 --> 00:02:16,667
dunia yangu ilipasuka ndani yangu.

53
00:02:17,399 --> 00:02:20,300
Hiyo ilikuwa siku nilipokea simu kutoka kwa mama yangu

54
00:02:20,324 --> 00:02:24,514
akiniambia kwamba mpwa wangu mwenye miaka 22, Paul, amejiua,

55
00:02:24,538 --> 00:02:27,179
baada ya miaka kadhaa ya kupambana na msongo wa mawazo na hofu.

56
00:02:28,668 --> 00:02:31,823
Hakuna maneno ambayo yanaweza kuelezea namna gani nilijisikia vibaya.

57
00:02:32,667 --> 00:02:33,961
Mimi na Paul tulikuwa karibu,

58
00:02:33,985 --> 00:02:36,039
lakini sikutambua alikuwa akipitia maumivu makubwa.

59
00:02:36,696 --> 00:02:40,254
Hakuna yeyote kati yetu ambaye aliwahi kumwambia mwenzie kuhusu mahangaiko aliyokuwa akipitia.

60
00:02:40,278 --> 00:02:42,442
Aibu na unyanyapaa ulitufanya wote kuwa kimya.

61
00:02:44,161 --> 00:02:48,164
Sasa, namna yangu ya kupambana na mikosi ni kuitazama bila uoga,

62
00:02:48,188 --> 00:02:51,346
kwa hiyo nilitumia miaka miwili baadaye kufanyia utafiti msongo wa mawazo na hofu,

63
00:02:51,370 --> 00:02:54,137
na niligundua jambo la kushangaza.

64
00:02:54,764 --> 00:02:56,738
Taasisi ya Afya Duniani imetoa ripoti ikisema

65
00:02:56,762 --> 00:03:01,986
kwamba msongo wa mawazo ni sababu kuu ya magonjwa na ulemavu

66
00:03:02,010 --> 00:03:03,349
duniani.

67
00:03:04,039 --> 00:03:07,030
Wakati sababu hasa ya msongo wa mawazo haijatambulika,

68
00:03:07,054 --> 00:03:10,152
utafiti unaelezea kwamba magonjwa mengi ya akili hujitokeza,

69
00:03:10,176 --> 00:03:11,903
walau katika sehemu,

70
00:03:11,927 --> 00:03:14,582
kwa sababu ya kutolingana kwa kemikali katika ubongo,

71
00:03:14,606 --> 00:03:18,508
na/au katika utengenezaji wa mwanzo wa jenetikia.

72
00:03:19,041 --> 00:03:21,202
Kwa hiyo huwezi kuachana nayo tu.

73
00:03:22,907 --> 00:03:24,638
Kwa Wamarekani weusi,

74
00:03:24,662 --> 00:03:28,718
vileta msongo wa mawazo kama ubaguzi wa rangi na utofauti wa hali ya kiuchumi katika jamii

75
00:03:28,742 --> 00:03:33,782
huwaweka katika asilimia 20 zaidi ya kupata ugonjwa wa akili,

76
00:03:33,806 --> 00:03:36,218
na bado hutafuta huduma za afya ya akili

77
00:03:36,242 --> 00:03:38,981
katika kiwango sawa na nusu ya Wamarekani weupe.

78
00:03:39,544 --> 00:03:42,394
Sababu moja ni unyanyapaa,

79
00:03:42,418 --> 00:03:48,635
ikiwa asilimia 63 ya Wamarekani weusi hukosea kwa kuwaza kwamba msongo wa mawazo ni udhaifu.

80
00:03:49,603 --> 00:03:53,861
Cha kusikitisha, kasi ya watoto weusi ambao hujiua

81
00:03:53,885 --> 00:03:56,572
imeongezeka mara mbili katika miaka 20 iliyopita.

82
00:03:57,843 --> 00:04:00,048
Sasa, hii ni habari njema:

83
00:04:00,603 --> 00:04:04,885
asilimia 70 ya watu ambao wanasumbuka na msongo wa mawazo hali zao zitaboreka

84
00:04:04,909 --> 00:04:08,266
kwa kupata tiba na dawa.

85
00:04:09,458 --> 00:04:11,120
Wakipewa taarifa,

86
00:04:11,144 --> 00:04:12,851
Nimechukua uamuzi:

87
00:04:12,875 --> 00:04:15,843
Sitakuwa kimya tena.

88
00:04:16,740 --> 00:04:18,543
Na baraka za familia yangu,

89
00:04:18,567 --> 00:04:20,460
Nitasimulia hadithi yetu

90
00:04:20,484 --> 00:04:23,298
katika matumaini ya kuleta mjadala wa kitaifa.

91
00:04:24,140 --> 00:04:26,911
Rafiki yangu, Kelly Pierre-Loius, alisema,

92
00:04:26,935 --> 00:04:29,426
"Kuwa ngangari hutuua."

93
00:04:30,743 --> 00:04:32,162
Alikuwa sahihi.

94
00:04:32,186 --> 00:04:36,208
Tunabidi kuondokana na hizo imani ziilizopitwa na wakati

95
00:04:36,232 --> 00:04:37,787
kuhusu mwanamke mweusi jasiri

96
00:04:37,811 --> 00:04:40,021
na mwanaume mweusi kuwa mwanaume hasa,

97
00:04:40,045 --> 00:04:42,965
ambaye, haijalishi mara ngapi wakidondoshwa,

98
00:04:42,989 --> 00:04:45,224
hujifuta na kisha husonga mbele.

99
00:04:45,770 --> 00:04:49,485
Kuwa na hisia sio dalili ya udhaifu.

100
00:04:50,521 --> 00:04:52,404
Hisia zinamaanisha kwamba sisi ni binadamu.

101
00:04:52,850 --> 00:04:54,869
Na pale tunapoukana ubinadamu wetu,

102
00:04:54,893 --> 00:04:57,009
hutuacha wapweke ndani,

103
00:04:57,033 --> 00:05:00,037
tukitafuta njia za kujiponya ili kuepukana na upweke.

104
00:05:00,585 --> 00:05:03,330
Dawa yangu ilikuwa mafanikio makubwa.

105
00:05:04,371 --> 00:05:07,672
Siku hizi, naweza kusimulia hadithi yangu wazi,

106
00:05:07,696 --> 00:05:09,906
na kuwauliza wengine kusimulia zao, pia.

107
00:05:10,406 --> 00:05:11,854
Naamini hicho ndicho kinachoweza

108
00:05:13,820 --> 00:05:14,070
kusaidia watu wanaohangaika katika ukimya

109
00:05:14,497 --> 00:05:16,706
ili wajue kwamba hawapo peke yao

110
00:05:16,730 --> 00:05:18,415
na kujua kwamba kwa msaada,

111
00:05:18,439 --> 00:05:19,780
wanaweza kupona.

112
00:05:19,804 --> 00:05:21,969
Sasa, bado nina mahangaiko yangu,

113
00:05:21,993 --> 00:05:24,281
hasa kutokana na hofu,

114
00:05:24,305 --> 00:05:25,908
lakini ninaweza kukabiliana na hali hio

115
00:05:25,932 --> 00:05:30,806
kwa kutafakari kila siku, kufanya yoga na kula vizuri kiasi.

116
00:05:30,830 --> 00:05:31,898
(Kicheko)

117
00:05:31,922 --> 00:05:34,144
Kama nikiona kwamba hali inaanza kuwa mbaya,

118
00:05:34,168 --> 00:05:36,212
Huwa nawasiliana na mtoa tiba wangu,

119
00:05:36,236 --> 00:05:39,299
mwanamke mweusi anayeitwa Dawn Armstrong,

120
00:05:39,323 --> 00:05:41,296
ambaye ni mcheshi

121
00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:43,557
na mwenye uzoea ambao hunipa faraja.

122
00:05:45,126 --> 00:05:46,764
Daima nitajuta

123
00:05:47,390 --> 00:05:49,456
sikuwepo kumsaidia mpwa wangu.

124
00:05:50,226 --> 00:05:52,013
Lakini tumaini langu la kweli

125
00:05:52,695 --> 00:05:55,766
ni kwamba niwahamasishe wengine kutokana na somo nililojifunza.

126
00:05:59,182 --> 00:06:01,652
Maisha ni mazuri.

127
00:06:02,646 --> 00:06:04,208
Kuna wakati yanavurugika,

128
00:06:04,232 --> 00:06:06,166
na hayatabiriki siku zote.

129
00:06:07,034 --> 00:06:08,237
Lakini kila kitu kitakuwa sawa

130
00:06:08,261 --> 00:06:11,046
unapokuwa na mfumo ambao utakusaidia kuyashinda yote.

131
00:06:11,513 --> 00:06:13,934
Nina imani kama mzigo wako ukiwa mzito sana,

132
00:06:13,958 --> 00:06:15,664
utaomba msaada, pia.

133
00:06:15,688 --> 00:06:16,855
Asante.

134
00:06:16,879 --> 00:06:19,761
(Makofi)
