Paulo Avelino Opens Up About His Battle With Depression

After Paulo Avelino revealed his battle with depression on his Instagram post, he said that he already moved on from his challenging period in his life.

“Well the biggest factor is time actually. It’s time. This has been several years ago, a long time ago. Actually it’s a bit awkward to talk about it pero I’ll share it eventually. And it depends kasi per person rin how you recover, how you cope up with that,” he said during the media launch of Mentos Complimentos in Taguig City. “But again we have experts for that. That’s why I’m also helping Hope Line because these people know what they’re doing.”

(Warning graphic content, content that can trigger those who suffer from depression and other mental illnesses) RARELY do I share personal stuff on my social media accounts but I think its time I talked about this dark period in my life because I know that someone out there is going through the same thing. I want you to know that everybody has issues and sometimes you seeing other people have them will help you cope with your own. Years back I found myself in a place where I only saw one way out. I went through a spiralling journey of Depression and suicidal thoughts. Where everything seemed like nothing matters anymore. Locked myself at home, turned down almost every job that came in and shut myself off from work, friends, family, the world. I am introvert. And as an introverted person I was so used to keeping my thoughts to myself. Even when I wanted to share stuff, I truly didn’t know how to. I didn't know how to voice out all these feelings and thoughts inside me.So here I am sharing with you guys that even the people who appear to be okay or who seem to “have it all” might be going through their own struggles, fighting their own demons. Please, dont be afraid to reach out to your friends, family, and loved ones. Often times people will brush it off thinking it's nothing to be concerned about or it's a small matter. Don't be scared to voice out what you feel no matter how hard it is. Never lose HOPE. If you arent ready to open up to the people closest to you, you can also reach out and call hopeline

He also said that his purpose of posting his thoughts on his Instagram account was to encourage those who battle with depression to seek help. “I can’t naman give direct advice to someone because my experience is different from theirs and at the same time, I don’t know if it would help or if it could worsen someone’s case,” Paulo said.
