Felipe Neto vents about fighting depression: ‘At the bottom of the well’

Entrepreneur and YouTuber Felipe Neto, 33, winner of the F5 Award, spoke on social media about the fight against depression and said he feels he is “at rock bottom” this Saturday afternoon (1st). He published a text saying that friends are taking turns 24 hours a day at his house so as not to be alone.

“Remember I always said that my friendships were never guided by influence, power and money? Yeah… That’s the value of a real friend. He drops everything, he gives up New Year’s Eve with his family, in order to keep you on your feet.” , said the youtuber.

In the text, Neto said that the family has strengthened him in the fight against depression and that the support messages he has received from his followers are “surreal” and “indescribable”. “My mother is suffering like hell, but she’s my rock. Yesterday she brought me pave and mousse. It’s the little things, it’s the details.”

YouTuber also highlighted that the support of friends, family and followers would be useless if they were not under psychiatric care and medication. “Depression is a disease of the mind, as gastritis is a disease of the stomach. Friends and family make you feel better, but without medicine, you will not cure this gastritis. Anyway, the summary is: seek help. Don’t face it alone .”

Earlier, Neto published a video on social media to deny his going to Big Brother Brasil 22 (Globo) and to ask his fans not to instill hatred against his ex-girlfriend, Bruna Gomes, who he stayed with for five years.

The influencer is voiceless due to emotional stress he suffered. “I’m completely voiceless because I went through a lot of emotional stress. My doctor explained that because when you have something very emotional in your life, you can lose your voice,” he began.

“I’m not going to be in Big Brother. And I’m recovering every day. I love you a lot, thank you,” added Neto after seeing his name being widely speculated as one of the new members of the reality show that begins on the next 17th.

Then he really got into the subject of ending his relationship. “The only thing I want to ask you is that you never, under any circumstances, send hate to anyone. Send only love. Don’t believe in gossip. If one day Bruna and I want to speak out, we will. And never think, neither do for a second, that Bruna did something wrong. Never,” he concluded.

The influencers announced this Monday (27) through social networks the end of the five-year relationship. But what caught the attention of internet users is that the digital influencer ended his relationship with Bruna over the phone at Christmas.
