Radio presenter Natalie Githinji speaks on thoughts of taking her own life
NRG radio presenter Natalie Githinji took to social media to say that she had once thought of taking her own life because of going through so much.
In her TikTok post, she captioned the video saying, “Be strong and keep fighting and always remember, suicide is never a solution. I’d rather you drink it out, cry it out but suicide and hard drugs, no fahm. Tunakuhitaji.”
“I’ve seen a lot of questions concerning my weight loss and I want to address that. So, am I depressed? Yes, kinda. Have I thought of killing myself? Yes, I have. Why did I not kill myself? It is not a solution and I am scared.

And then, I thought of the pain that I would leave behind for my family, I thought of how I wanted to go for swimming, to meet my friends, I want to go to Malaysia, to go to coast.
I’ve not done a lot of those things. I have achievements. I want to build a house, I want to live a good life, I want to have a man but am I still going to work?
Yes, I’m working as if it is my first or last day at work because I can’t let my depression affect my work and that is where I am earning from; and the way my health needs a lot of money,” began Ms Githinji.
For years now, Natalie Githinji has been in and out of hospital battling endometriosis, an illness in which the tissues that grow inside the uterus end up growing outside the uterus and in other locations in the body.

She complained about how her health was diminishing her salary within seconds of hitting her account, but she would not let her health issues and depression stop her from living her life.
“I’ve lost weight because I have health problems, my life has been so complicated lately despite me laughing and entertaining you guys. I’m kind of depressed and it’s because of my health.
It’s draining me, it’s sucking the life out of me, it’s finishing my meat especially when I find that I am growing a back side but I am fighting. I am fighting battles, I’m in the dark but of course, I’ll be good. I think I’ll be good. God is great and I think I have a good support system around me,” added Ms Githinji.

She also called on people who noted that she had lost weight to keep their nasty opinions to themselves because she was battling health issues, and she would block them on her social media platforms because she would not tolerate them.
She also appreciated everyone who stood by her side when she prepared for, underwent and recuperated from a surgery she had a week ago.
