“If you are thinking of suicide today, I plead with you to think the way I think because I also do have suicidal thoughts, I did have suicidal thoughts, I have never attempted it, but I’ve had because of the s*** going on in my life, but today after seeing those videos I’ve realised I don’t want to die, I want to live, but the things causing me pain have to die,” he continued. His advice to depressed people is to look deep within themselves and see that they are bigger than their problems.

“You will realise that you are bigger than those things, your God is bigger than all those things. Something has to die and it is not you,” he said.
