In an interview with Pulse, the singer mentioned that a depressed person is different from an angry person, though a depressed person can express his/her depression through anger. Waje also added that since she came into limelight, she has learnt how to guard her territory.
She said:
“The thing is, many times when people talk about depression, I always come from the angle where there is a difference between depression and anger. A depressed person does not even know that they are depressed, they will give every reason to think that they are not in that place. When you are depressed, you don’t want to eat, you don’t want to go out, your life stops literally.
“I have come to realize that being someone in the limelight, you have to guard your territory, I have been in that space where. I wouldn’t say mine was depression, mine was anger management, it was a kind of depression but the only way I could express myself was through anger.
“I remember that time, that was the year we got signed as Glo ambassadors so actually my career was doing really good. I just released my album, I was nominated in four categories in World Music Awards every year, money dey come.
“But I had anger issues, why because I just didn’t see myself the way I wanted to see myself. I saw myself through everybody’s eye. I would look at you and whatever you tell me about me is what I would accept. I remember one time I was so angry, I didn’t want to break my tv because na me pay for the tv, I broke my phone, can you imagine holding a phone and bending it like literally bending it, you can imagine the rage for being able to break a phone.
“I have come to realise that you have to guard yourself, you have to understand what is going on around you. You are in the limelight, there is Waje and there is Ebele, Waje is now, we are having this interview, Ebele is when I enter my house, don’t come and tell me anything that is happening in social media and add to a headache that I already have.”
Depression is real i’ve seen it and walked that path but came out stronger
Here for the comments. Lol
Of course you have to separate your stage life from your personal/private life, if not you will choke on both.
Waje my love. Depression or anger cannot have o jare.
Thank God for you. Na only Phone you break, thank God you didnt kill anybody
My dear sombori will not hear word for this Celebrities o. @ChISOM, i follow you do the MTCHEWWWW
Aunty Waje is really confusing me here. Is she saying she was depressed or she had anger issues or she had both? Also, i dont understand all this celebrities and depression. Waje will talk depression, Uriel will talk depression…who else is on the list of depression? If the fame and what comes with it is too much for them, let them kuku go and rest and live a nomarl life. Mtcheww
Looks like Chisom hasn’t heard that the rich also cry. The rich too can get depressed and some even kill themselves. Let us not assume that because someone is rich and famous that their life is smooth. No one knows what goes on in the bedroom at night. Just saying.
In any case Waje says she had anger issues, blame Sidomex for calling it depression.
These rich people talking about being depressed is starting to annoy me.. We the poor ones that don’t have money nko
Lol. Bros you mean you are poor and you are voicing it out. Omo na wetin you call yourself you go be oooo
