Veteran Nollywood actress, Bukky Wright, has opened up about her personal struggle with depression, revealing that her children were the ones who helped her overcome the dark period in her life.
In a recent interview with Teju Babyface, Wright spoke candidly about her experiences with depression, and how her kids played a crucial role in her recovery.
According to Wright, she had been struggling with depression for several years, and at one point, it seemed like the darkness was consuming her.
“Let me say that there was a time I was depressed, and I was taking antidepressants. But my children had to wean me off them. They have always been my number one critics.”
“I don’t know if I could call them my pillars of life. They know that I would live my life for them. So, they tell me, ‘Hey, Iya, you have been living your life for us, but it is now time to live for yourself. Enjoy yourself and have fun’.”
With the support of her children, Wright was able to seek professional help and begin her journey to recovery.
It wasn’t easy, but with time, patience, and the love of her family, she was able to overcome her depression and find happiness again.
