SA isang interview ni Coleen Garcia, sinabi niya na nakaka-recover na siya ngayon matapos makaranas ng mental health issues nitong nagdaang tatlong taon.
Ayon kay Coleen hindi naging madali para sa kanya ang pinagdaanang challenges mula nang ikasal sila ni Billy Crawford hanggang sa dumating sa buhay nila ang panganay na anak na si Amari.
Sabi ni Coleen, “I was left behind talaga for the past three years. My mental health and everything took a backseat. So, now, I’m finally recovering.
“Amari already allows me to work. I tell him, ‘Mommy’s gonna go to work.’ I think the almost three years that I spent with him, I really bonded with him and it helped,” aniya pa.
Talagang isinakripisyo raw ni Coleen ang kanyang showbiz career para mag-focus sa pagiging nanay at misis ni Billy. Mas naging mahirap pa raw para sa kanila ni Billy ang lahat dahil isinilang si Amari noong kasagsagan ng COVID-19 pandemic.
“I think those three years were very important for me to realize that this is all I need and everything outside is a bonus para mas ma-enjoy ko kasi I feel like before I was thinking of everything way too seriously.
“And sometimes, when it happens, especially in the public eye, you get a lot of comments and we get a lot of bashing and everything, and sometimes it hurts.
“It’s like those years just with my family, that’s when I realized na ito pa lang masaya na ako. So whatever is outside plus na lang ‘yun, walang minus,” aniya pa na ang tinutukoy ay ang pagbabalik niya sa larangan ng pag-arte.
