Pepe Herrera, nagkaroon ng depression.
May mabigat na pinagdaraanan ngayon ang aktor na si Pepe Herrera sa kanyang mental health.
Naging usap-usapan ito matapos magpaalam si Pepe Herrera sa kompetisyon ng ‘Your face Sounds Familiar’ dahil sa matinding depression.
Pagbabahagi ni Pepe na ang kanyang depression at mga anxiety attacks ay nagsimula pa noong siya ay 13 years old pa lamang.
Wika ni Pepe : “I haven’t been well for decades. After my session with my psychotherapist the other day, I realized I have been struggling with depression and anxiety attacks alternately since I was 13 years old.”
Kamakailan lang ay nahihirapan na siyang matulog at nagkakaroon ng mga panic attacks dahilan upang ipagpaliban muna nito ang kanyang mga trabaho.
“Recently, I have been experiencing panic attacks in the evening preventing me from sleeping. Either I will be able to sleep only when the sun is shining or I won’t be able to sleep at all.
“The combination of insomnia and anxiety is making my body experience regular tremors and numbness in different parts of my body. Chest pains and headaches are worsening.
“And there are times when my thoughts are becoming darker and darker. I feel like I’m drowning. A few days ago, I experienced a turning point. I had a mental breakdown and went through a panic attack because of something I felt on my chest.” pagbabahagi ni Pepe.
Sa kasalukuyan, bumalik na si Pepe sa kanyang mga regular sessions ng psychotherapy para gumaling na siya sa kanyang karamdaman.
Humingi rin siya ng paumanhin sa kanyang ‘Your Face Sounds Familiar’ family dahil sa biglaan niyang pag-back out sa kompetisyon.
Say ni Pepe : “To my ‘Your Face Sounds Familiar’ family, I’m sorry if I have to leave. I’m sharing this unfiltered information because you deserve the whole truth. I’m grateful for the family we have created even for just a short time.”
Get Well soon Pepe!
