For the first time after resurfacing from a two-year hiatus, former actress Ellen Adarna broke her silence about what she referred to as a "dark" and "traumatic" period in her life while away from the limelight.
Adarna spoke at length about being diagnosed with depression, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress disorder in a revealing Instagram video on Friday.
The deeply personal video, she explained, is the first of two parts about her experience of undergoing mental training in Bali, which she credited for her recovery.
"What led me into that state?" she said, referring to her trauma and depression. "I don't want to talk about it in detail, because it's something very personal."
"So many things happened all at once in a span of four months, or less than four months. Everything happened. All the bad things that I imagined, happened. It was very traumatic for me," she said.
Throughout the 8-minute video, Adarna appeared candid and at certain points pensive about the challenging chapter.
Adarna, 31, pointed out that for most of her life, she was "never really the depressive kind of person," and that she would tend to "bounce back quick" and "move on fast."
