How Gigi Lamayne overcame #depression

Gigi Lamayne had a chat with Masechaba Ndlovu and Mo Flava where she gave her fans an update on her current state.

In November 2018, she had shared concerning tweets which got many thinking that she was feeling suicidal.

Gigi was later said to have been taken to hospital after attempting to take her own life.

In the interview, she thus confirmed that she is now in a good space.

"I'm fixing a lot of friendships, relationships from the previous year, and of course I've discarded the ones that just aren't allowing me to grow."

Counselling has helped her in dealing with her depression. She has also started meditating and reading up on the disorder.

"There's so many people who suffer from depression and they don't come out and speak about it. It's not a weakness. It's something I've learned to deal with every single day. But we're not dying, we're not mentally unstable and all the other different stigmas that go with it. We're just simply misplaced in the world. We're people who care too much, so we feel energies more. Things get to us easily. And so I've had to create mechanisms to be able to deal with that," she said.
