Depression can strike anyone, regardless of their status or profession. This is a reality that gospel musician Betty Bayo knows all too well. In a recent video on her YouTube channel, she shared a personal story of how she overcame depression.
Published on October 25, 2019, the video revealed a shocking moment in Bayo's life when she attended a wedding wearing a pair of slippers. The musician explained that she had not combed her hair or applied lotion on herself, and was clearly struggling with her mental health.
"Someone might ask if I have ever been depressed and yes, I have. I knew I was depressed after I attended a wedding only to realise that I had worn slippers. I had not combed my hair nor had I applied lotion on myself," she said.
Bayo, who has since overcome her depression, hinted that a "bad relationship" might have been a contributing factor. She also shared her insights on what it's like to be depressed, saying, "When you are depressed, you feel like you are psychologically trapped. A bad relationship is a major cause of depression."
Her words serve as a reminder that depression is a common struggle that many people face, and that seeking help is the first step towards healing.
