Simphiwe Dana Opens Up About Her Battle With Depression! Whilst promoting her new live-recorded, Pan-African album and DVD, released in August, The Simphiwe Dana Symphony Experience, the singer and activist got candid on why she’s been quiet.

The singer says it all became too much. Between politics, her art and activism. “I thought politics was drowning my art at some point. I love being an activist, but I mistakenly thought that being an activist and being an artist is one and the same thing. It just became way too much. It’s possible that it was my depression acting up because this has been one of the worst years of my depression,” Dana shared with City Press. She goes on to say that friends, family and fans from all over the world try to give her advice on how to make herself feel better. A lot of people use cannabis products to ease the symptoms of depression, from online stores like Crown Cannabis Tulsa way, to the online stores you can find in many other locations. Nowadays it is so easy to get cannabis products delivered to you from these stores, so a lot of depression sufferers are self-medicating. As mental health isn’t openly spoken about as much as it should be, Dana’s opening up about this is very inspiring.

Unfortunately, there are many people that are battling depression in their day-to-day lives. Some of them try to buy cannabis online, but not all of them are aware that it may be used medicinally, particularly to treat depression, anxiety, and other mental illnesses. But as more people begin to open up about their mental health struggles, the louder the conversation becomes, allowing for more research to be conducted in the finding of new treatments. In fact, recent studies have shown that there has been great success for those that buy CBD edibles online, as this alternative treatment can help to rebalance the chemical structure of the brain that leads to depression. Of course, this may not work for everyone and some find other methods to help them manage their symptoms.

Moreover, certain strains of CBD, shrooms, and related products should not be taken as a cure but rather something that helps manage depression. When looking to buy shrooms canada locals may want to consider the place of purchase as not every e-shop is going to offer the same quality of the product. Responsible usage is always advised!

For instance, Dana says she got suicidal and would stay in bed for months but it was her kids that kept her going.

“For a long time I didn’t even take them to school. We just used an Uber. Normally I enjoy taking them to school in the mornings. The worst thing to do is alcohol when you’re depressed. You think it makes it better, but it actually makes it worse. At best it postpones it till tomorrow. It doesn’t fix anything, it can actually drive you over the edge. You end up doing something you wouldn’t normally do, like try and kill yourself or something.”
