“Finances were not working” TPF winner Ruth Matete opens up about her suicide attempt
Ruth Matete unsuccessfully tried to take her own life after a series of tribulations. The Tusker Project Fame (TPF) winner talked about what pushed her to attempt suicide on her post on social media.
Ruth reveals that almost everything in her life was not working. She says she was having financial problems and she was also having issues in her relationship.
“I’m sure we all have that one time in our lives when things were so bad we can’t compare it with any other time in our lives. I have such a year. And I remember how everything was not working for me. Thought of taking my life to end all the pain and misery… And to some point I actually tried but I wasn’t successful because God!
Finances were not working. Relationship not working. Some main friendships ended…. Ministry was not working. And I thought to myself, am I of any value to this world? You meet someone and they tell you it shall be well some day. God will make a way!! ??? I didn’t want to hear anything that talked of future. I wanted a solution now now now! I wanted to hear, “God has made a way” “Things are okay”, wrote Ruth in part.
