In a candid interview, Chebet revealed her decision to seek professional help after experiencing four consecutive days of debilitating migraines. Concerned about her well-being, her family encouraged her to get checked, leading to her admission to a mental hospital.<\/p>\n
Chebet described the facility as a place where individuals can receive the support and care they need to maintain their mental well-being. She acknowledged the challenges she faced during her stay but expressed gratitude for the opportunity to focus on her mental health.<\/p>\n
“Right now, I am in a good place,” Chebet affirmed, emphasizing her commitment to her mental health journey.<\/p>\n

Chebet’s journey with mental health struggles dates back to her adolescence, with migraines starting as early as Class 7. She also shared how being raised by a stepdad exacerbated her anxiety.<\/p>\n
