Yesterday, the actress took to her Instagram page to talk about the challenges she has face throughout this month.
She wrote;
“Tomorrow is my birthday,but then again this month has not been my best month, from doctors telling me that I might have cancer if not properly treated to me loosing my grand dad and me feeling and having all of the negative thoughts in my head.
I noticed once u sad the devil looks for away to make u believe that God is not real and then try to put all of the negative thoughts u can ever think of so it can lead to depression. Yesterday I left my house walking along the street struggling to breathe, my friend Ethel was shocked what was going on with me. I was just walking not sure of where I was going.
I was confused about life for a moment, I doubted my existence . I ask God if he throughly loves and care for me why does he let me go through down moments like this? And then this evil voice came again, this life is too hard for you so end it all, then I remember WHO I Am… Dorisstillsmiling the survivor.
I remembered what I have been through and came out of them. I remembered how the devil wants to end me so bad, I remembered how I haven’t fulfilled my purpose on end, I thought how my mom that so much believe in me will feel if anything happens to me on that road, I remembered the goodness of God then I realized that am still work in progress is either I let the devil drown me with his negative thoughts and end up useless or I choose to breathe and think of all God has promised me and be happy. I choose to live, not just to exist but to be happy bcoz that’s what the devil hate most.
I’m not sharing this for u to feel pity for me, am sharing this bcoz someone out there might be going through same or worse but I urge u to breathe… choose happiness no matter what and it’s okay not to be okay sometimes but don’t stay sad for too long bcoz u are a work in progress just like me. Let’s all breathe.”
