Kimani Mbugua, a former Citizen TV anchor, has begged Kenyans to petition his parents to allow him to leave Mathare Hospital.
Taking to Twitter, he explained that his parents had abandoned him there to punish him following a psychotic episode.
” I appeal to all people who know me to kindly appeal to my parents to let me out of Mathare Hospital. I came here after a brief psychotic episode on the 4th of August and was discharged on the 10th of the same month. My parents have left me here to punish me.” Kimani tweeted.
The journalist described how it felt to be high on hard drugs on the Kimani Mbugua show. He went on to tell how he became afflicted with schizophrenia.
“Your brain goes out of reality when you are doing drugs. After I smoked weed, I started seeing things out of reality, I developed schizophrenia.
The first diagnosis I received was an acute psychotic episode, to show that something huge had happened to me.” He wrote.
Kimani proceeded to describe his psychotic experiences, in which he constantly saw a woman while dreaming.
“I was eager to stop this woman in my ‘dreams’. I would sometimes smoke weed after the show and just chill in the parking lot.” He Narrated.
About how it all started, the former news anchor said,
“The day it exploded; I was going home with my fiancé when I felt the sensation come in. I had taken a lot of cigarettes, red bull, and some weed.”
It was here when he first saw a beautiful woman who appeared and had sex with him.
“I saw a woman who was like a goddess who came to have sex with me. She started calling my name.” he wrote.
Kimani Mbugua revealed that he had become a burden to his family. He added that family uses Mathare to torture their children incase of mentall illness.
“People use Mathare Hospital to torture their kin who have mental health issues. In my case, I don’t understand why they are doing this to me because I have never even been a burden to them.” He wrote.
Kimani became psychotic as a result of her ongoing drug use and was admitted to Mathare Hospital.
From TV celebrity to mental institution. That is the potency of strong narcotics like cannabis. It is past time for Kenyans to realize that narcotics will not fix anyone’s problems. Instead of cannabis, look for healthier options.
