But when I arrived in the US, a whole lot of things started happening in my life. I now wanted to go back to Ghana, the same country that I so much prayed about to leave. It got to a point that I nearly killed myself. Had it not been that when I go to buy drugs to end my life I would be asked questions at the pharmacy or drug store, I would have bought the drugs and killed myself during those difficult period. It was that bad. That was during COVID and I used to cry a lot. The stress, depression was to much for me to bear. I mean things were really tough for me and the problems I was encountering were coming from close quarters.”
