I get it. I get them.”The second post touched on her trying to fight the urge to take her own life, and how difficult life has been for her. “Because I’m trying my best to NOT commit suicide.

Because my mind is sooooooo loud of late and life is fucking HARD, so fucking hard, and I’m trying my best but it seems my best is not enough,” said the second post.
The third one contained a collection of crying emojis and the words: “My children, God. Abantwana bami.” The star has openned up about struggling with depression, stress, and anxiety over the past three years in a series of pinned posts that are still up on her Instagram account.
