“I Never Thought I would Get To 25”, Wahu Shocking Revelation of Her Depression and Suicidal Thoughts

Wahu is among the female singers who have proven that a lady can make it in the industry while still multitasking as a mother, wife and with a number of other projects.

 She is a role model to many artistes but it has not always been this rosy. Wahu who is usually private in public has opened up on a past difficult phase she underwent.

Seeing the classy lady rock crowds or take care for her family it is hard to imagine that at one point she faced depression and considered committing suicide! Here is her account but we all agree we are glad it didn’t turn out that way.

“When I was 19, I suffered from depression. I thought my life was meaningless. I thought I was such a failure and a massive disappointment to my parents. I wanted to do myself (and the world) a Favor and just die. I remember walking past my dads medicine cabinet and just thinking how easy it would be to just “end this”. I remember thinking that I would never live to celebrate my 25th birthday, and if I did, I’d be nuts. Like literally a Mathare case. looking back now all I can say is the devil is a liar!! Look at ALL what he didn’t want me to enjoy! A career that I love, a family I adore, and an opportunity to encourage so so many young people. Don’t believe the -ve whispers that sink you into depression. Don’t believe them at all. You have to know that your future is absolutely bright. And the bigger your struggle appears to be, the greater your future is. So give thanks even in times of hardship because success and happiness is just around the corner. I love you all, and wish you all the very best that life has to offer.”
