Singer Sage Chemutai has opened up about her struggle with depression after the birth of her daughter, Ayanna.
“After I had my baby, I suffered from post-partum depression which turned into depression. I didn’t want to leave the house, I had a lot of anxiety and even shut everyone out. I was scared to release my song because I didn’t know if people would like it. I doubted myself to a point I just wanted to be alone. I had writer’s block but early last year, I started to write songs and recorded a lot of it but still I was still scared. I only released two songs,” she said during an interview with Hot List.
When asked how she got over depression, she said, “I have a good supporting system from my family and producer. He used to come set up in our living room in Ngong and we recorded songs at home. He really went out of his way. I also started reading, healing spiritually and mentally and also working out.”
