She wrote: “I think the best way to stay happy is letting go of what you think your life is supposed to be and embracing what your life is.”
”One of the greatest reasons for depression is lack of fulfilment. Not getting the things you want, the things you believe you deserve, the things you have fought for, prayed for, hoped for…the failures. Then you start looking at other people’s lives and comparing…forgetting everyone is on their own journey and no two journeys, even along the same path, are alike. ”
To stay happy, you have to enjoy your life as it is. It is all that you have. It is all that matters. And then look into the future with trust in God and trust in your journey. I wish you a miracle-filled week. God bless”.

“Whatever it is that is weighing you down, making you hate life, making you hate yourself. I want you to know more than anything else that you will overcome this,” she said in a video shared to YouTube.”
“You will be fine. I promise you. God never gives us more than we can handle. Sometimes he gives us so much pain just to test us. What I want to say his hang in there, be strong for your family, you’ll be fine.
”I have been through it, so many people have been through it. Everything seems ugly and gloomy, you don’t have that thirst for life. Everything seems dark, you can’t see the light, you can’t imagine being happy, there’s just so much pain in your heart. You can’t even cry. I have been through it trust me I have and I overcame.”
