Another suicide in my community: Let's step up self esteem



Rest in peace Ndolo

I woke up to the sad news of a beautiful sister in the Cameroonian community abroad who had died by suicide.

The sources say she caught her husband with another woman on their bed and this wasn't the first time.

As a suicide survivor, I know it wasn't about the man but about a distorted cognition which could have been distorted by several things stemming more often than not from a low self-esteem.

I therefore did a Facebook live video and a Vlog on YouTube to share some reflections based on a research study showing that a low self esteem could lead to a mental illness.

She was known as Ndolo...may she rest in peace and may we left behind become more aware, more compassionate, more hopeful and helpful, and above all shun stigma.
