WATCH: ‘I just really wanted to end it’: Nandipha Mbatha opens up about suicide attempts
The actress says she battled depression and anxiety.
Actress Nandipha Mbatha recently shared the harrowing details of her mental health struggles, revealing she had attempted suicide multiple times over two years. In a video posted on the social media account Until All Are Found, Mbatha detailed her descent into depression and anxiety. She recalled lying on her apartment floor with a knife, contemplating ending her life because she was overwhelmed by her struggles.
Mbatha said she was "tired" and "just really wanted to end it all" as she had been forced to endure happiness despite her misery. However, a pivotal moment came when she claimed Jesus appeared to her. Jesus reportedly reassured her that her suffering would ultimately serve a purpose, offering her comfort and hope. Mbatha later came to believe that her experiences would form part of her testimony, saying she believed she would no longer suffer from anxiety and depression after her baptism.
She encouraged others experiencing difficulties to turn to their faith and believe in Jesus' ability to set them free from their struggles. "If there's anything you're struggling with, you can run to him, and he'll save you," Mbatha stated.
