Comedian Zeddy's story is a testament to the human spirit's ability to overcome adversity. In a recent interview with Grace Msalame, Zeddy shared her harrowing experience of depression and suicidal thoughts, which she says were triggered by her husband's infidelity and subsequent abandonment.
According to Zeddy, her husband left her when she was two months pregnant, leaving her with nowhere to turn. The situation was exacerbated by the fact that he took the cooking gas, leaving Zeddy and their children without a means to prepare meals.
As Zeddy struggled to cope with the heartbreak, she found herself consumed by suicidal thoughts. In a shocking revelation, she confessed to having considered jumping off the balcony of her eighth-floor apartment. 'Nilikuwa natamani kwa sababu hiyo time nilikuwa naishi 8th floor. Nilikuwa natamani saa zingine venye nimepanda huko nijirushe,' she said, recalling the desperation she felt.
Despite the overwhelming darkness, Zeddy found the strength to carry on, driven by the thought of her children and unborn baby. Her story serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of seeking help and support during difficult times.
