Liza may inamin tungkol sa mental health; Yassi naiyak nang mapag-usapan ang yumaong ama
Liza Soberano at Yassi Pressman
MAS kakaririn na ngayong 2022 ng Kapamilya actress na si Liza Soberano ang matagal na niyang adbokasiya sa mental health awareness.
Kilala ang girlfriend ni Enrique Gil sa pagtulong sa mga kababayan nating may mga issue sa mental health sa pamamagitan ng pagse-share ng sarili niyang mga karanasan.
Kamakailan lang ay sinimulan na ni Liza ang sarili niyang podcast na may titulong “An Open Mind” kung saan pag-uusapan ang iba’t ibang isyu ng mental health tulad ng “stress, anxiety and depression.”
Post ni Liza sa kanyang Instagram, “I’m so excited for the big, big plans I have in store for the year. Jump starting mine by exploring way beyond my comfort zone. Tonight at 6 pm I will debut in my first ever podcast called An Open Mind with me, Liza Soberano as your host.”
Sabi pa ng dalaga, ang kaibigan niyang aktres na si Yassi Pressman ang nag-introduce sa kanya sa mga taong nasa likod ng Mind You Mental Health System para maisakatuparan ang kanilang misyon para mas mapalawak pa ang mental health landscape sa bansa.
“I immediately knew I wanted to be involved. The past two years has really shined some light on the importance of prioritizing our mental wellness. It’s time to have honest, unfiltered conversations — without the stigma,” pahayag ni Liza.
Sa unang episode ng “An Open Mind”, nakasama ng aktres si Yassi, at dito nga nila napagkuwentuhan ang tungkol sa “imposter syndrome” at ang mga pinagdaanan nilang pressure at challenges bilang young celebrity.
Unang nilang naging topic ang kanilang Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) personality type test at ano ang naging resulta nito.
“When I was taking the test I felt kind of weird about answering each question. I felt like I was being untrue with myself, for some reason.
“I feel like I’m so used to other people telling me who I am and how I should act that, it kind of conditioned me to think that way,” kuwento ni Liza.
Naibahagi naman ni Yassi ang pinagdaanan niyang sakit nang pumanaw ang kanyang ama last year kung saan hindi niya napigilan ang maiyak.
“It’s funny because I also invested in Mind You around March. Probably because it was one of the hardest times of my life and I didn’t know who to talk to,” sabi ni Yassi. Ang tinutukoy niyang Mind You ay ang mental health platform na sinimulan nila ni Liza at ni Nadine Lustre nitong nagdaang taon.
“I read more about how to handle panic and anxiety attacks. Like how to breathe and how to tap parts of your body. It would get really bad sometimes to the point of where it’s normal for your muscles to be tense,” pagbabahagi pa ni Yassi.
Ikinuwento rin niya ang pinakamatinding anxiety attack na na-experience niya, “I felt like I was gonna have a stroke. I couldn’t move my fingers, then it was my arms because I was so tired from shouting and letting everything out crying.
“My lungs were tired, my legs couldn’t move and my stomach was so tight. I was scared, I was really scared but now that I know that that happens I can handle my breathing better and I can not panic anymore and be like ‘it’s normal, and it will pass,'” sabi pa ng aktres.
Sabi naman ni Liza, kapag inaatake siya ng anxiety attacks, talagang nanginginig siya, “I’m a people pleaser to a fault. I feel like if I say no to somebody, they’re gonna hate me and that I’m worthless. It’s a battle that constantly goes on in my mind.”
Kasunod nito, inamin din ni Yassi na nagkaroon siya ng imposter syndrome nang makilala siya bilang si Alyana sa Kapamilya action-drama series na “Ang Probinsyano”.
“Nagulat lang ako. Why me, of all people to be given this huge opportunity? To the point na hindi ako makapaniwala. Kaya ko ba? Will I disappoint people? Will I be enough? Malulunod ka rin sa laki ng project, eh,” pahayag pa ng dalaga.
Bukod kay Yassi, makaka-join din ni Liza sa mga susunod na episode ng kanyang podcast sina Enrique Gil, Pressman, Cristine Reyes at Gab Valenciano. Libre itong mapapanood sa Spotify, Apple Podcasts at iba pang digital platforms.
