❗❗❗Are you part of those who beat up people in the streets ? ❗❗❗
🛑Because they act weird you think "he or she may be a witch or wizard or may be part of a cult?"
🛑I received this 48 year old lady,mother of 3
🛑She is handicapped and got paralyzed on one leg when she was 4 years old after an injection.She uses crushes to walk
🛑She grew up with lots of difficulties from losing her parents, maltreatment and abuse from extended family members, a serious precarious environment.
🛑This lady had been depressive for long, hustling and managing life.. sometimes wanting to give up...
🛑1-2 years back, she started hearing voices that will tell her to do things.Being a believer she thought,this was God's voice talking to her.
🛑Now and then she would do what the voices told her, generally harmless things
🛑On this faithful day, the voices instructed her to go to this particular street and enter the car she would find ,and that a driver will follow and take her to a particular place. She did as instructed
🛑On arrival at that street,she found the car,got into the car and some minutes later,someone came in and suprisedly asked her what she was doing there.
🛑She was quite shocked as she was expecting this man to drive her as the voices told her
🛑Next, was a crowd, called her "witch", "occultist "and other names.If not a neighbour who recognised her and called her children she would have been beaten to death😡😭
🚨Our patient has had serial traumatizations, from her life events, difficulties,the last being the physical and psychological trauma from the mob
🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨
❗Keep in mind that sometimes,these people acting weird in our streets could be suffering from a mental disorder!
❗Stop joining the mob to beat these people !
❗Be that person who will suggest the family is called !
❗Be that person who says the victim should be brought for evaluation in a psychiatric hospital !
❗This post may make no sense to you till you or your close family member is a victim!!!
