In a tough and honest moment, Funke Akindele opens up her silent emotional weight on Chude’s talk show, and the moment she realizes she can’t do it.
“I told myself that I can’t continue like this. You need to talk,” she said.
The actress and filmmaker revealed that she felt completely overwhelmed after losing her mother and going through a fierce personal struggle. Even though she had always believed in treatment, she had never really received treatment. Why? In her words, “I’ve been trying to be strong.”
Between social expectations, family stress and personal sorrow, she found herself no one really talked to. Even though she was suffering, she hesitated to seek professional help. “I thought they would carry it with me. People would talk about me. People would know my business.”
But when everything got too much, she finally spoke to the therapist, which made a difference. “I can’t tell people what’s going on there, I talk to the therapist. I’m better.”
