Today’s task is very capable of putting the housemates and viewers alike on edge, seeing how much of a sensitive topic it is, and Cross recounts dark past in his life too.
While talking to Biggie in the diary room, he was asked what he thought of the day’s task, and Cross went in. He said he believed it was time for our society to have this conversation stating that he has battled with mental health issues as well.
Giving details, he said things he had not given before, stating that he had a period in his life where he battled so many issues. According to Cross, he had put that memory deep down in the abyss of his mind, and this task took down some of those walls.
He said, ‘there was a time in my life I wanted to commit suicide. It was a dark time. Like twice’
He also mentioned that mental health is not something we speak of enough, saying that Nigerians and families need to do better by listening to and helping affected people.
