‘I tried committing suicide’ Grace Ekirapa emotionally reveals she tried to commit suicide twice

Later on while in Form 3, she took 35 pills and blacked out. She woke up and found herself in a bed in school thinking she would wake up in heaven.

I believe that depression has a cure its nothing that cannot be dealt with but suicide is also tied to depression so for us to stop suicide we have to deal with depression. I am talking from experience because a lot of people don’t know this but when I was in class eight many years ago I tried committing suicide I took 18 pills I was on some antibiotics and at one time I got to a point and I said I’m going to take them all the medicine I had. Form three again I decided I’m going to do the same and I took 35 pills this time because 18 didn’t kill me so 35 will

Grace Ekirapa shared all this in a series of videos captured on Instagram. Many suicide and depression cases are of children in boarding schools and she felt this was an issue that she needed to address because as a minister of the word, she would want to help someone with her story.

Doing this video was really not easy.

Now that she is all grown and able to deal with depression which leads to suicidal thoughts, she just wants to be there for someone and help them get through the tough times.
