In an Instagram post in the early hours of Thursday, the 44-year-old disclosed that she suffered from depression, felt like a failure and was faced with a lot of anxiety.

Sharing a before and after photo of her and her children, she wrote: “This year I began my journey as a single mum with no direction… I was afraid, sometimes depressed, confused, I always had a lot of anxiety

“I felt like a failure, a loser, I felt I wasn’t good enough, I felt little, I didn’t really know how to fit in or even start, how was I even going to pull through,? I never thought of me making it in life, I just wanted my kids to be fine, that was my ultimate goal…

“All I knew to do was to love my kids immensely and give them all of me & that inspired me to keep moving.. Today I look back & all I want to say is thank you, Lord. It’s never too late to start all over again…… it will be tough but you will be fine.There is always light @ the end of the tunnel.”

Iyabo recently disclosed that her biggest challenge in life was being a single mother.

The actress has two children Priscilla and Festus from her failed marriage.
