Celebrities are not spared from the mental health effects of the months-long community quarantine caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.
One of the celebrities who shared their mental health struggles amid the pandemic is Kapuso actress Thea Tolentino.
“Mostly, nahirapan ako with my mental health ngayong quarantine.
"In-anxiety ako. Nanibago ako sa environment kasi ang tagal ko na kasing hindi nakakapag-stay ng ilang buwan sa bahay namin mismo,” Thea admitted in an interview with 24 Oras.
In order to cope with stress and anxiety, Thea turned her attention to painting. She also got a new pet cat.
“Kailangan ko lang din kasi talaga ng breathing. 'Yun 'yung usually na hindi ginagawa ng karamihan. 'Yung 'wag tayo magmadali, let's slow down, pakinggan muna natin ang sarili natin. Just breathe,” she said.
