Lifestyle influencer, content creator, and entrepreneur Gisela Amponsah has opened up about her struggles with depression and suicidal thoughts two years ago.
In a candid interview on Showbiz 360 on January 23, 2026, she revealed that she experienced a depressive state that wasn’t linked to her online presence, but rather to personal struggles she had not disclosed, which worsened as she juggled multiple responsibilities alongside managing her social media career.
“I had suicidal thoughts two or three years ago, and it had nothing to do with my social media presence,” she noted.
The influencer emphasized that she’s human and experiences bad days just like everyone else. There were times when she couldn’t get out of bed or find the motivation to do anything. She credited therapy for helping her overcome that difficult phase, having attended sessions three times in her lifetime.
According to her, people often shy away from therapy due to the vulnerability it requires, but she wanted to get better and ensure her mental health didn’t affect her work.
