I even had a longgg chat with her on Saturday, gave her Tips & Pointers to being a Broadcaster & gave her an Assignment she is to submit this Saturday. She was so Excited & Full of Life. Not an Inkling of a Clue to her Mental State. Ive never felt this Helpless before.

I am speechless right now because I’ve suffered depression multiple times and last week I almost committed suicide.. I was going to drown myself in the pool.. but on the inside of me different praise songs kept coming up..Depression is a void only God can fill

I am gobsmacked, fam! She was “perfectly alright”! I don’t know what to say. She was laughing and smiling like nothing on earth was wrong. I am so confused right now and i only saw her once, so i can’t begin to imagine how u must feel.
