Nigerian actor, Blossom Chukwujekwu’s ex-wife, Maureen Esisi, popularly known as Red Vigor, has appealed for assistance concerning her mental distress.
In a video she shared, Maureen opened up about her struggles, revealing the unhappiness she has been concealing behind a facade of cheerfulness.
Maureen Esisi disclosed that she has endured significant challenges over the years, including trauma, but had managed to maintain a resilient demeanor in public.
However, a recent incident profoundly affected her, leading to a complete emotional breakdown.
Despite the expectation for her to remain strong, she acknowledged being unable to overcome the grief caused by the recent death of her father.
Initially in denial, she admitted that the profound effects of the loss have now left her incapable of functioning.
She said: “I have literally done this video, 5/6 times, and deleted it because I am clueless of what to say and how to say it or why I am even making this video.”
“But something has been pushing me to make this video and let the public know the situation of things and if there is a way they can help me, they will help me.”
“If you follow me you will know that I haven’t been posting ad creating content as I used to. I have been very quiet.”
“Now over the years, I have faced problems and trauma, and I have been through a lot. And somehow I have always come out strong and pretend like everything is okay.”
“Something hit me not so recently and it shattered me to bit. In as much as I was so sure that I had it under control, I didn’t have this under control. I lost my father last year and I have tried to be strong and everybody assumed or thought that I should be. At first, I was in denial but eventually, it hit me and shut me down so badly that I wasn’t functioning anymore.”
