I fell into depression early this year..After a business i did together with my husband went bad and we lost all our money putting us into a huge debt worth millions …..We even sold all we had ever worked for in our life to pay up, including begging the people i was owing but they kept putting pressure on me…some came on social media reposting my pictures and writing stuffs and calling me out….. I began to look for help..But help never came…We were given quit notice by our Landlord, my kids were sent out of school… I became sick, couldn’t sleep at night, crying every day, lost appetite, and became sad and depressed.

“Some days i would seat on my bed and look at d same spot my husband will leave for work and meet me at that very spot when he came back…I couldn’t pray, I was exhausted, weak, and lifeless.

“Suddenly i began to think about suicide when the pressure became sooo much from friends i was owing (they needed their money)I tried to talk to alot of people but no one took me seriously… June 6th all i was thinking was to take my life….2pm on the 6th of June i attempted suicide. I was rushed to ‘the comforter clinic lugbe, then Nisa Premire afterwards Garki hospital Abuja (Where I was revived back to life)

“A lot of people around me judged me.

Thank God a loving and supportive husband & a God sent manager in @chiazordanielofficial who has been so supportive to helping me become a better me.
