My Story: Social Media Saved Me From Third Suicide Attempt Gladys Gakii, 41, shares how social media saved her from her third suicide attempt. ***************** “In December 2018, I had enough of life and decided to commit suicide. That was my third attempt and which proved almost fatal. But before taking my life, I decided to share my feelings to the world by posting in a social media group known as Group Kenya (now defunct) this message; “I am so depressed. The only thing on my mind right now is suicide. Let nobody advise me to share because I have shared with a million people but nothing seems to change. My condition is worsening.”
