Isang dating aktres, hindi napigilang maging emosyonal matapos aminin na naghihirap na matapos umalis sa showbiz!

Actress and model Carla Humphries talks about her struggles of living in United States own on her own.

During her vlog guesting with her friend, Michelle Madrigal, Carla becomes candid about her life in showbiz and how she deals with depression.

“Mahirap talaga. You’ll cry a lot. And I moved here alone. No family, no support system,” Carla said of her experience battling with depression as she struggled to live in the US on her own.

In the said vlog, Michelle also gave her insights about how Filipinos react whenever someone admits to battling depression.

“Sa ‘tin kasi sa Filipino culture, parang when someone says they’re depressed or whatever, they don’t acknowledge that. And honestly, you have to. ‘Cause sa ‘tin, ‘Oh malungkot ka lang. Tomorrow you’ll be fine. Umiyak ka lang. ‘Wag ka masyado mag-isip’. Masyado ka nag-iisip eh,’” Michelle said.

She went on: “Depression is real. Like for people, they neglect it. And they don’t accept it. Kasi for them, parang embarrassment ‘yun if you’re feeling those emotions.”

“So, when someone tells you, you get to know them. You have to hear their stories. ‘Cause sometimes, kung ‘yung anak mo they come to you, it means that they’re asking for help. You have to acknowledge. You have to help them out. Because if not, they will rely on other things,” she continued.

Carla, for her part, added: “And when you’re suppressed, that’s when you end up doing toxic things or you poison your life kasi hindi mo ma-release ‘yung mga [emotions mo].

“Or you can’t talk to anybody. You feel like ‘Oh well, my mom, my dad or my sister, they don’t even listen to me. They think wala lang ‘to. It’s just in my head,” Michelle remarked.
