Former 'Bilangin ang Bituin sa Langit' actor Joel Palencia expresses his gratitude after receiving overwhelming support from friends and followers as he deals with anxiety.
Many of his fans and showbiz colleagues were concerned after Bilangin ang Bituin sa Langit actor Joel Palencia shared on his Instagram that he is suffering from anxiety.
Anxiety according to medlineplus.gov is a feeling of fear, dread, and uneasiness. It might cause you to sweat, feel restless and tense, and have a rapid heartbeat. It can be a normal reaction to stress. For example, you might feel anxious when faced with a difficult problem at work, before taking a test, or before making an important decision.
Based on Joel's post, it seems that his anxiety also caused a skin problem. In an article published on MedicalNewsToday it stated that anxiety can increase the release of certain chemicals in the body, which can produce physical reactions, such as skin rash.
It added an anxiety rash may appear as an itchy rash or hives, which may occur anywhere on the body.
Despite what he is going through, the TV heartthrob is staying positive and thanked everyone for their concern about his health.
He wrote on Instagram, “Thank you to everyone who has reached out and shown concern for my anxiety. Your support and kindness truly make a difference. I'm grateful to have such caring people in my life.
“Remember, not every perfect picture tells the full story. Behind many smiles and beautiful moments, there can be struggles and challenges. Let's embrace the reality that life is a mix of both the highs and lows.”
Several celebrities also commented on Joel's update and wished him well including Rodjun Cruz and comedian Boobay.
