Inamin ni Kylie Padilla na naki­pag­­laban din siya sa depression nu’ng kanyang kabataan.

Ayon sa Kapuso actress, ilang taon din siyang nakipagbuno nang mag-isa sa nararamdaman bago niya na-realize na kailangang may tumulong sa kanya.

Kaya ang mensahe ni Kylie sa kanyang mga followers na nakakaramdam ng depression, kinakailangan daw na maging observant sa World Mental Health Day.

Sa kanyang Instagram post, sinabi niya ang hirap na pinagdaanan dahil sa depression. Dumarating pa raw sa puntong pa­rang gusto na niyang wakasan ang lahat.

Ani ng misis ni Aljur Abrenica, “When I was a teen-ager, a lot of the people responsible for my well-being always labelled me as “depressed” among other things. During a time when things were so confusing and so traumatic, these harmful words were being thrown around to try and silence and calm a very messy storm in our lives.

“And maybe it was just a quick and easy way of trying to pacify the situation, so that just became the resolution. You are just depressed. To the point where it felt like what I was feeling felt invalid and didn’t even matter enough to be heard or even discussed. I remembered feeling so angry when I heard anyone even say the word. That word almost instantly dehumanised me.”

Dugtong pa ni Kylie, ngayon daw ay naha-handle na niya ang sitwasyon. Tanggap na rin daw niya ang label ng kan­yang depresyon. Noon daw kasi ay hindi niya maintindihan kung ano ang ibig sabihin ng kanyang nararamdaman.

“I just kept silencing them until they came out in my behaviour. It took some few years of denial, self pity, rebellion and breaking down of the ego for me to realize that I was in need of some healing from a past that wasn’t handled so well. And in a-lot of positive ways I’m proud of who I have become. But everyday takes work, patience and forgiveness.”

Sa mga nakaka-experience raw ng sit­was­yong tulad ng nararamdaman niya noon, ang kailangan ay maging patient sa sarili.

“It takes empathy to allow space for healing, love and trust. If you cannot find it in others, you must fight and learn to give it to yourself, you then learn to give it to someone else. You can do it.”
