Former TV personality Kimani Mbugua is opening up about his mental health struggles.
In an interview with Vybez, Mbugua narrated his own personal experience.
"As with every mental issue, you don't realize it at the time. When you are losing it, it happens so gradually. In fact, when you are losing it, you feel like you are becoming more sane. As you become insane your brain tells you that you are becoming more sane."
He added;
"Your brain starts noticing small things like you see a billboard and start feeling excited, you look at the TV and think you know that person who is speaking."
He went on to explain his fight against bipolar 1
"Bipolar 1 has been described as the worst mental illness because it carries all the others. The good thing about bipolar 1, it can be managed."
The former Citizen TV on-air personality is currently receiving help from Kenyans after he appealed for the same saying he was homeless.
"I got out of the hospital last week and I feel my mind has come back to normal and I don't want to go back to where I used to be. I came to look for somebody else who could host me but I didn't find one. I need your help. I am in a position where many people are not willing to help, they say they are tired."
He also asked for help to start his business.
"Please send whatever you can ata 1 bob ni sawa...I need to raise capital for my company (200k) I will keep you updated on how the money is being used. Asanteni sana."
