Joseph’s final tweets paint a devastating picture of his internal struggle. His love for his siblings kept him going for a while, but in the end, he felt overwhelmed by despair.

“I hope y’all find it in you to keep fighting, hopeful, never negotiating your dreams, and to finally and eventually thrive. That is my last wish. In everything, I give glory to God. I ran my race, and I gave it everything I had. Finally passing on the baton.

“Nothing much to say again…My passwords are in the first page of my diary. Goodbye!”

Joseph’s words reflect deep despair and a long battle with his thoughts. His questioning of why he should keep fighting is a painful insight into the struggles many face in silence. His mention of March being a decision month shows that he had been contemplating this for a while, and his statement about seeking help but feeling worse highlights how difficult it can be to find the right support.

The fact that his body has yet to be recovered adds to the heartbreak of the situation. This is another wake-up call for the need for accessible and effective mental health resources.

If you or anyone you know is struggling, please reach out for help. You’re not alone, and support is available. What do you think can be done to improve mental health awareness and access to proper care in communities?
