Betty who was married to Pastor Victor Kanyari revealed her struggles on her YouTube channel.
Speaking about her experience she says
‘SOMEONE MIGHT ASK IF I HAVE EVER BEEN DEPRESSED AND I WOULD SAY, YES I HAVE.I KNEW I WAS DEPRESSED AFTER I ATTENDED A WEDDING ONLY TO REALIZE THAT I HAD WORN SLIPPERS. I HAD NOT COMBED MY HAIR NOR HAD I APPLIED LOTION ON MYSELF.
IN MY MIND, I KNEW THAT BEFORE I LEFT HOME I HAD PLANNED ON ATTENDING A WEDDING BUT I DID NOT PLAN ON ATTENDING WHILE LOOKING UNKEMPT.’
Betty went on to add that she has now overcome her depression
‘THANKFULLY I OVERCAME MY DEPRESSION, WITH TIME I WILL OPEN UP ON WHAT DROVE ME THERE IN THE FIRST PLACE AND HOW I OVERCAME THAT PHASE.’
