Sonnie Badu reveals battle with depression
US-based Ghanaian pastor cum musician, Sonnie Badu, has shared some struggles he faced while living in the United States.
He said he experienced severe depression, often isolating himself in his office for hours without speaking to anyone and being consumed by his challenges.
The situation, according to him, became so dire that he had thoughts of harming himself.
However, the well-being of his six young children helped him resist these dark moments.
In an interview with Asempa FM, Sonnie Badu also revealed that Rev. Eastwood Anaba played a crucial role in helping him overcome his depression after God revealed his struggles to the astute man of God.
"I battled depression for almost six months. Sometimes, I would stay in my office alone for 12 hours with the lights off, not wanting to talk to anyone. It was really bad, but during that time, I wrote a song. The thought of harming myself crossed my mind once or twice.
"But thinking about my six children made it difficult. They are young, and if something happened to me, that would be my biggest concern. That thought gave me hope. The painful part was having to pay my bills, and you know how the US system is. All the bills come after buying a house. I had to pray, lay hands, and seek counseling. Rev. Eastwood was the one God used to redeem me," he said in Twi.
