A young Zambian makeup artist has killed herself days after flashing suicidal messages on her Facebook Page over unclear circumstances.
Felistus Banda shared social media suicide notes from the type of chemical she would use to kill herself, to the attire that she wanted people to wear at her funeral.
In her last stroll Saturday, she complains how the public does not take notice of the struggle of people with suicidal thoughts and just end up calling them cowards.
She reportedly killed herself a few hours ago, Sunday.
This is what she posted hours before her death:
Most times when we come across a post about someone committing suicide,we are too quick to call them cowards or say things like “everyone has problems” Sometimes suicidal people try to reach out to people they are close to but well they take their issues lightly or just brush them off,also we handle pain differently,you might have been in the same situation as someone and got out of it,but someone else might not get over it,let us not trivialize other peoples problems,let’s not make it a problems competition when people come to us,if you can’t listen or offer any help,it’s okay to say you’re unable to help,do not ignore and pretend to be all sweet when they’re gone,it’s very disgusting.
