Olivia Culpo revela depressão, apesar de sempre ter fingido o contrário

A vida de Olivia Culpo tem sido repleta de altos e baixos. Se a nível profissional a modelo conseguiu várias conquistas, como por exemplo entrar na lista das 100 celebridades mais sexy do mundo da revista Maxim, por outro, viu o seu relacionamento com o namorado a terminar, depois de ter descoberto traições por parte do mesmo.

Agora, Olivia teve a oportunidade de se abrir acerca de algo com que tem vindo a debater-se ao longo dos últimos meses: a depressão.

“Estava deprimida. Não tinha apetite, estava a beber demais, a fumar, não conseguia dormir nem comer. Mas continuava a tirar fotos para as redes sociais e a fingir que estava tudo ótimo”, lamenta.

Entretanto, Culpo recebeu ajuda e diz que agora se sente muito melhor. Por isso, decidiu partilhar a sua história para poder ajudar outras pessoas.

Looking at the difference between these two photos today, and thought it was important to share something with all of you. 2nd photo, a few months ago: I was depressed. I had no appetite, was drinking way too much, smoking, couldn’t sleep, and couldn’t eat. But I was still taking photos on social media and pretending everything was great. I was going through a difficult situation that left me mentally, emotionally, and spiritually bankrupt and it had taken its toll physically. The feeling of despair is a relatable one, so I feel a responsibility to anyone else going through something difficult to say that it’s ok to not be ok. 1st photo is from the other day, and I am looking healthier. I have my appetite back and am treating my body correctly. We’re all too familiar with the “highlight REEL” of Instagram so I wanted to get REAL and tell you it’s not always as amazing as it seems. I’m sharing this because 1. I want to emphasize what we already know: Instagram is everyone’s best version of themselves and their lives. It can trick us into thinking everything is perfect in other’s worlds. Which is NOT true. We are all more alike than we think, navigating life with similar ups and downs; good times and bad. We never really know what someone is going through, so it’s unfair to judge/compare. 2. I hope this helps others who might be going through a hard time and feeling like they need to “have it all together.” Social media can create a crazy amount of pressure to live up to an idealistic standard of “perfection” (which obviously doesn’t exist!). Hard times happen and the most important part is putting one foot in front of the other, knowing the moment will pass, and being patient with yourself. No filter is going to take away from the normal ups and downs of life that we all have. Our imperfections/hardships make us all perfectly relatable, taking this journey through life together. I think the more we understand how connected that makes all of us, the easier and more rewarding this life journey can be. Love you guys!!!!!!!
