If there is someone transparent in this life, it is me. But I'm referring to something that is completely out of my control. I'm a terrible actor, I don't know how to play characters and you don't even need to know me very much so that, in a few seconds of looking at me, you can already understand something. And that's why it's clear to any idiot that my last few months have been full of ups and downs on my darkest side, drugs. A few years ago (trying) to undergo specialized therapy for compulsions, we came to the conclusion that external professional factors were affecting my mental health too much and making me look for drugs. But why do I look for something that I know has terrible consequences for my life? One of the reasons is escape, yes, simply escape. Precisely I, who seem so brave, run away so as not to face my problems head on. In one of my first therapy sessions, Dr Ângela said a phrase that never left my head: “Your profession is unhealthy” What do you mean? In other words, she meant that I should change careers. Instead, I decided to change the way I practice my profession. I took it easier, and, in fact, my life improved. When I was admitted to Paulínia, I discovered another serious trigger. My frustrations and disappointments also lead me to relapses. And lately, there have been many. I don't want to name names but you know I'm referring to my public fights with people I considered loyal. I'm not blaming anyone. The only one to blame is me. Why am I writing this on a social network? Because I receive hundreds of messages every day from people worrying about me. The most recent alert came from Xuxa, who said I was “too agitated”. Then I tried to explain that I have been like this since childhood…. Bullshit. Another escape. What I want to say is that, this Sunday morning, I came to the following conclusion: I was tired! And I'm too old for those triggers to still exist. And look how good God is to me: even with this mega problem, I can be one of the best in my profession. How can you? Summary: enough! I'm exhausted from this back-and-forth, this up-and-down! About the image above: addition is slavery
