Vivek Oberoi opens up about his battle with mental health
During a recent interaction with Humans of Bombay, Vivek Oberoi was asked about his experience dealing with mental health issues and how he managed to overcome them. He mentioned that life can take you to a very dark place, especially when everything in your professional and personal life starts to go wrong all at once. He confessed that he has experienced being at the edge of darkness himself.
He said, “If I am being absolutely honest, there is a very dark place you can get to in life, especially when professional, personal everything starts going wrong at the same time. I have been there, at the edge of darkness.”
Vivek also recalled having the thought of ending his life. Speaking about it he mentioned that he has learned that when one is in that phase, it is wise to "fast forward in your head." He further mentioned that one should think about the hurt and pain they would cause to the ones who truly love them by ending their life. Instead, they should focus on going towards love and light, towards the people who genuinely care for them. It's important to experience catharsis, to cry and let everything out. He felt fortunate to have a home and family that supported him during those moments.
He added, “I sat on the floor, put my head on my mother’s lap like a baby and cried and wondered ‘Why is this happening to me?’ I cried for 40 minutes and then she asked me, ‘When you were winning those awards, getting all the fame and love, did you ask why me?’”
