Kenyan singer Akothee has opened up about undergoing therapy for something that put her in a “very dangerous zone.” In a long Instagram post, she shared how she has been healing in private for the past two months.

Allow me thank everyone that prayed for me in silence, everyone that walked me through the journey, I have come out of a very dangerous Zone and I have been healing in private , I am on my 2nd month of therapy The trauma I went through after finding out the truth & some ugly stuff that left me shaking ,Went days without food & No sleep , questioning and answering myself , it has been very heavy.”

Akothee did not go into detail about what happened, but she did say that she was experiencing trauma, shaking, loss of appetite and sleep, panic attacks, and even lost motivation in doing things she loved to do.

“Some days, a night will just break into a day with me looking outside the window guessing at nothing 🤔, I would be shaking for reasons I can’t explain, and just remember,I still had work to do, A family and an empire to protect . I still had to put on a strong Face and entertain my fans 🙏. .I thank All my close friends , Family especially my Children, my mom Beatrice Schnelli-Okello & my best friend Nellyoaks, PLO, Vj Adams.”

Akothee ended her post by asking for privacy and prayers. She said that she will share more about her healing journey once she is ready.

“For being part of my strength. I would not have done it without you 💪. Nellyoaks has been on speed dial he would call me nonstop and would panic when my phone went off , my children equally especially the girls made sure we had a face timer just to check if I am okey 🙏 Rue Followed me to Europe in fear of Losing me , baby sitted me until I could stand on my feet 💪.”

Nelly Oaks, Akothee’s manager, celebrated her after her message. He shared a photo of her on his Instagram page and wrote, “I’m so proud of the woman you are. You’re an inspiration to us all.”
