After battling depression without knowingI now guard my space like its life and death.1. I let go anything that tampers with my peace. 2. I avoid procrastinations and do what is right at the right time, I don&#8217;t postpone problems.\u00a0 3. I say NO immediately my guts start swelling. 4. I don&#8217;t stay in any wassap groups I quickly and immediately leave as soon as I sense its getting toxic or could be I am the Toxic one. 5. I avoid family politics as much as I can , family politics can drive Nuts therefore I am not in any family wassap groups. 6. I shut down gossips before they get into my system. 7. Very limited online flights, I rarely exchange with fans online , we now just have fun&#8230;I am at peace now.&#8221;<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Akothee continued to claim that she has blocked several people because of putting up with her mental peace.<\/div>\n<div class=\"_a9zs\">\n<h1 class=\"_aacl _aaco _aacu _aacx _aad7 _aade\"><\/h1>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kenyan entrepreneur and singer Esther Akoth (Akothee) has opened up on her struggles battling depression for 5 times.
