Naging mas open si Ashley Rivera, na nakikilala rin bilang si Petra Mahalimuyak, sa kanyang depression sa isang interview niya with Rhea Santos para sa Tunay Na Buhay.

Aniya, "I think nag-start lang 'yang depression na 'yan when I got into a really parang toxic relationship with a guy. It was abusive—emotionally, verbally, sometimes physically."

Paliwanag naman niya, "But not naman 'yung tipong sasapakin ako but nandun 'yung force and everything."

Tinanong din ni Rhea kung ito ba 'yung pakiramdam na kahit ano'ng gawin niya ay hindi niya  magawang maging masaya. 

Sagot naman ni Ashley na nagulat din siya sa naging effect ng depression sa kanyang pang-araw-araw na buhay.

Kwento ni Ashley, "I didn't know na may ganung effect pala siya sa akin. I'm not gonna lie, I had like suicidal thoughts."

Kuwento pa niya, "Ako kasi, ang nangyayari sa akin is I would always run, eh. I would always run away. If I can't handle a certain problem I just run. Parang I don't wanna deal with it, I don't like confrontation."

Mas manageable na ang condition niya this year. Malaking tulong sa mental health ni Ashley ang magkaroon ng support group, ng mga taong nakakaintindi sa pinagdadaanan niya at mga taong nandyan lang para sa kanya. 

Dagdag pa ng aktres, "I can't really say na, 'Oh wow, look at me, I'm a completely different person, one hundred percent changed' no. Because it is a process, it doesn't happen overnight. I started surrounding my self with the right people."

 

I'll be really honest... Before, nung chanak pa ko, when my friends would ask me "Asan ka? Anong ginagawa mo? " I'd jokingly say "wag kang magulo. Nag-bbible study ako!" & they'd laugh cause they know it's not true. I'd even say things like "para akong nasa prayer meeting ah!" when a place/bar is quite empty. So now that I'm actually being serious, people are confused/weirded out. They can't tell if it's a joke or not. Parang naghihintay sila ng punchline kahit wala naman talaga ???? Remember: People will ALWAYS have something to say. Don't mind them. Masyado na kasi maraming echusera sa mundo. Whether nagpapakabait ka or nagpapaka-demonyo, lagi ka parin hahanapan ng mali. That's why I'm #blessed to have these girls because they helped me get back up when i hit the lowest point of my life. It's like they saved me & pulled me out of this dark hole that i was in. I told them my story & they never judged me. I hated myself but they were there to remind me that i was gracefully broken but already forgiven. Now, they're leading me to the right path, feeding my mind & my soul with the spiritual food that i badly need/have been craving for, showering me with this magical kind of love AND taking my hand as we walk with Jesus. I literally just met them about a month ago but wala sa tagal yan. It's the genuinity of a Christ-centered friendship ???? Advance Merry Christmas from the noisiest/loveliest D group ???? #CCF

Sa ngayon ay uma-attend na rin ng church at Bible study si Ashley. Every Saturday naman ay nasa Glorious Hope ang aktres. Kino-consider niyang parang similar to "rehab" ito. Aniya, "Never naman ako na-rehab, but I'm thinking na it's sort of like that."
