My actions are not deliberate – Abena Korkor

Every time former host of Ladies Circle, Abena Korkor, has been in the news, it is because she is sharing details about sexual encounters she has had with popular people, whose names she is not afraid to mention.

Her actions have attracted mixed opinions among the public. While some believe she has been taken advantage of by her bipolar condition, others think she is deliberately doing that just to attract attention and some even believe she doesn’t want to get well.

Abena Korkor said what she does is not deliberate and is part of relapses from her condition.

“It is not like I enjoy what is going on, it is overwhelming and very hard to figure out sometimes. It is not deliberate that I mention names, I sometimes wonder why I go back. I am doing everything I can to get well.

“These are people I do not even talk to again or have any form of contact with. Whatever happened, happened in the past. I just don’t understand why I can’t let them go, why I have them in my subconscious,” she said.

Continuing, Abena Korkor said, “I do my best to get well, I take my medication, I go for therapy, and even as I’m talking to you, I’m on my way to see my therapist. So, it’s not like I’m happy, I go through a lot, the issues are too much, they take a toll on me.

“It makes me question myself. Just recently, I contemplated suicide and I asked myself if it has gotten this bad. This thing has destroyed my relationship with people I could work with, I have lost a lot of job opportunities because of it. I’m doing my best but it looks like my best is not enough, I’m trying.”
