Radio personality and comedian Tafadzwa “DJ Shugeta” Ben
says he is going through depression.
The National FM presenter posted on social media last week
that he was going through a difficult situation, prompting many followers to
conclude that he was contemplating suicide.
He said sharing mental health issues is vital amongst
youths and as a public figure, he recommends organisations and individuals to
assist people under depression.
“Yes it’s true I am not okay but I can also confirm that I
am working on it, I am getting help.
“There are some things going on but like I said everything
is now under control the reason why I decided to speak out is because l
realised that many people are actually going through the same.
“But ma reasons anosiyana and the first step to recovery is
talking about it possibly with someone you trust or someone you know who
cares,” he said.
Shugeta said many people are afraid to speak resulting in
some committing suicides. “Many people are afraid to speak out because vanotya
kusekwa or stigma but ndizvo zvinokonzera suicides.
“People should show others kuti it’s real and we all need a
shoulder to lean on
“As the young people we have a lot of things going on but I
believe sharing is caring and these need for those organisations, individuals,
support groups who are into mental health
“To assist young people who are also facing the same
predicament,” he added.
Below is what he posted: Good morning family. Sorry kune
vachabatikana with this message but I think it’s time I let you all know, I’m
not okay and ndaane nguva yakati rebei now ndisiri fine.
I have some serious things going on in my life right now
and the sad part is I am losing it every day .Suicidal thoughts ,anxiety, all
that .For a long time now I been putting on a happy mask but deep down I am
emotionally and mentally exhausted….im dying .
Thus I feel I just wanna get away from everyone and
everything for a moment asi kana ndaabho muchandiona ndichidzoka .I need a
break from my heart, my brain ,my lyf I need to go away for just a little
while. But remember this isn’t a goodbye forever, I don’t know when I will be
back but I hope I will be back soon rejuvenated ndave Shugeta chaiye wenyu
wamunoda .Musandikanganwewo in your prayers.
