Actress Nazish Jahangir has opened up about struggling with mental health issues and fighting suicidal thoughts.
Taking to Instagram on Tuesday, she revealed that she has been suicidal twice in her life after she lost her mother sending shock waves among her fans who instantly started wishing her well in her endeavors.
“I was hopeless I was unable to talk, everything was just meaningless for me. I have fought PTSD for 10 years as I mentioned this earlier but let me tell you all one thing very clearly, only I had a cure and that too within. I stood up for myself, I took my every breakdown as a lesson, I fought my darkness and left it all behind me,” she wrote.
The starlet said she prays for everyone to be strong enough to talk about it and fight it the same way.
