Like thousands of other Filipinos, Kapuso actress Rhian Ramos has admitted to feeling anxious and depressed at times during the duration of the quarantine.

She says that she is glad that talking about mental health is slowly becoming less taboo.

"Those feelings, 'yung getting anxious and getting depressed are very common for everyone I know. 'Yung millennials 'yung first generation na they became self-aware of not feeling good. It's very common," she says in an interview with select members of the media, including GMANetwork.com.

According to Rhian, she manages her mental health this quarantine by taking it one day at a time.

"Magugulat ka kasi everyday na paggising mo, it will feel a little bit better. Magugulat ka na 'Ah wow pwede pala 'yun. Buhay pa ko.' Then at a certain point mawawala din 'yung pain," she says.

She has previously confessed that she had trouble sleeping during the start of the quarantine but was soon able to adjust.

Rhian also stressed the importance of kindness and patience, especially if you are quarantined with other people.

"Be very nice and patient. If you're quarantined with your family or whoever, be very nice and patient with people that you live with. We're all going through some anxiety, all at the same time, so we have to be understanding towards each other," she says.
