Mental Health + Addiction in the Diaspora

[Odkac WRLD]

This is not a mocking or degrading thread. This is simply my opinion on, what I think at least, is a pretty big issue in the Somali community.

We are not infallible, righteous people. If we were, maybe we would be in our country, no offense.

We were all quick to mock Biftu, but tbh she was exceptionally brave to air herself out in front of all of them knowing what would happen to her already reputation. She did it to raise awareness.

I was lucky to have a solid support system when going through my issues, but I’d say most Somali kids in my situation didn’t

Our community has always been addressing issues, but not at attacking/solving them.

ill tell you right now, addiction and mental health are huge issues I’ve seen kids die from fentanyl addictions they didn’t bring on to themselves.

parents, if your reading this keep a closer eye on your kids friends, you’ll know the worth of a man based off the company he keeps.

let’s have some compassion for these folks from here on out, m’kay!

Somalis should really check on their health mentally and physically! That way we can all thrive greatly together!
