He was one of the most sought-after men in domestic Modeling and TV, and at the same time he was also completely self-destructive
THE Henry Petillon, the ultimate zen premiere of the past has been battling his demons for years. Addictions, incarcerations in psychiatric units and rehab centers, headlines for all the wrong reasons and a life on the sidelines for the one-time star of secular salons.
“I want to enter a closed space from yesterday, for a reasonable period of time and not for five years. How can I tell you! Things are very serious. I’ve had a balloon operation, I live on my own and can “stay” at any time. I might get interrupted. Naturally, I can’t cut this “thing” off unless I go in somewhere for help.
I was born with bipolar disorder and at the same time – that’s why they call it a double diagnosis – I also suffer from substance addiction. I went to KETHEA, the people there were very ok, but they told me that they don’t have psychiatrists.
In total to date I have been to 22 psychiatric centers. In Greece and abroad. On my own. And in 25 rehab centers for substances” he said speaking to the newspaper Espresso and continued:
“In the private sector they are greedy and all they care about is getting a few thousand in their pocket, otherwise they don’t take you, and at KETHEA they told me that they don’t give aspirin or any medicine. And I can’t help but get something! I’m experiencing withdrawal syndrome.
I have suffered from bipolar disorder since I was born, and since I was eleven the doctors injected me to keep me calm. Now I live in Thessaloniki!
I turned to the psychiatric hospital of Stavroupoli, but many things made it difficult for me. It’s becoming a waste, without substance, and I never got a clue. I don’t want to live on methadone. I want to become independent. I can’t bear to sit in centers for eight months. I have already lost seven years of my life to them. Arrives!»
-What state are you in now?
“I am in a very difficult situation, I am unemployed and I have to work, but the most important thing is my health, which I have to take care of.
For this reason, it is an absolute priority to get into a closed aid area for a reasonable amount of time. I don’t ask for anything else.
I’m not in the best shape of my life. I might end up at any moment, here in the house where I live all alone, and be found dead after a month».
-Why did you choose to leave for Thessaloniki?
“Why in Athens I would die. Because I have a last name they called me “hey big and dude” and threw drugs at me to satisfy me. I got up and left because that’s where I got all this»!
-Did all this history and the Golgotha you are climbing affect your appearance? How do you see yourself in the mirror?
“I want to gain weight because I look like I’m 100 years old. I do not eat! However, they make all this in 15 days».
– Are you depressed?
“I have manic depression, phobias, compulsive behavior, obsessive thoughts and things like that».
-Have you even thought about killing yourself?
“Yeah, I’ve done that anyway. I have jumped from the second floor. It’s not the first time. I had done it twenty years ago. So, in order for this not to happen again, I have to go somewhere to be helped. I can’t do it alone.
I think about it all the time. I will leave on the 4th. I have told my close friends. But now I’m miserable, they don’t even call me. With the exception of my best friend Elizabeth and two other people».
– So your friends don’t help you in this difficult period in your life?
“No, my two good friends are unfortunately in prison, so I don’t see them. The rest are just acquaintances and I don’t consider them my friends. I also had a mild stroke a month ago and was paralyzed from the waist down for a week. But I escaped her, luckily.
The truth and only this is the truth, that because I suffered from bipolar disorder and because no psychiatrist had diagnosed it I ended up using substances, which was the only drug I knew to feel good and feel healed.
When the psychiatrists intervened they explained to me that I suffer from bipolar disorder but it was too late because I had become addicted. So instead of getting treatment for bipolar disorder I was taking other things to balance it out.
Why did I do this? Because I’m stupid or because I wanted to look 100 years old and collapse in this state? Or did I want to ruin my life 100 times or reach death clinically dead five times?
I’ve gone from overdosing and attempting suicide from the second floor to going head-on into a lorry with a large displacement engine in Syngrou! I was paralyzed for a week and after a week I got up».
