Shama Sikander Admits To Attempting Suicide; Gives Suggestion To People Who Have Suicidal Tendencies
Shama Sikander has always been vocal about her battle with depression and bipolar disorder. In fact, she also accepted that she tried to attempt suicide. In an interview with Times Now Digital, the actress revealed that she struggled with depression and bipolar disorder for five years. She also suggested people who have suicidal tendencies to give themselves time and energy and take medicines to heal.
Shama
was
quoted
by
the
portal
as
saying,
"If
I
can
heal
after
5
years
of
struggle,
you
can
absolutely
heal.
Anybody
can
heal.
You
have
to
take
your
demons.
You
can't
look
outside.
You
have
to
give
yourself
time
and
energy.
People
must
go
and
take
medicines.
Your
brain
chemicals
fluctuate
and
can
make
you
feel
worthless.
Circumstances
make
you
feel
like
that.
It
is
ok
to
give
up
but
important
to
know
when
you
bow
down,
you
have
that
capacity
to
get
up.
You
can
heal.
There
is
light
after
darkness."
Talking about depression, Shama said, "Depression is a state of feeling loveless. I hated myself and did not like my good self. I was tamed to be good and that compelled me to be good, whether it harmed or hurt me. I realised everybody on the planet is suffering today. We are all humans and suffering each other's pain. It took thousands of years to know about depression or mental health."
She concluded by saying that everyone has bad qualities in them equally and that's what makes us human. She added that if we do not accept it, it will get converted to stress and hence, we need to find our own self.
