Chemutai didn’t share what pushed her into contemplating suicide in the first place, but she promised that she will eventually share all the nitty-gritty details and even the actual suicide note that she was to leave behind.
“The details of the suicide note and attempted suicide, I’ll share another time.” Chemutai Sage promised.
Sharing the photo that she took when she was all smiles, Sage opened up about what she has been bottling up for the past years that nobody knew about her.
“This[the photo below] photo of me was taken a couple of days after I wrote a suicide note. I was still highly suicidal (for the first time in more than a decade).” Chemutai said.
Chemutai Sage also disclosed that the person who took the photo didn’t even know that she was contemplating suicide.
“The guy who took the photo had no idea. We had just had a wonderful breakfast and catch up.” she went.
“Today is #worldsuicidepreventionday and this photo is just a reminder that, ‘wanting to kill yourself’ doesn’t have a “look”. However, there are signs.”
