Artist Gab Valenciano recently opens up towards his fight and struggle with depression.

Gab Valenciano is the son of famous Mr. Pure Energy Garry Valenciano.

Gab aims to reach out that person who suffers the same as him and help them to overcome the mental disease.

On his instragram account he posted:

 “In reality, it really isn’t. It’s far from it. It can simply be described in one phrase: a dead end. It is defined as a severe feeling of despondency and dejection. Despondency is defined as loss of hope or courage. Dejection is defined as a state of gloom, disappointment and low spirits. Now combine the two and multiply it by ten, that is depression,” he began.

Valenciano added depression is triggered by the past, future and present event which produces traumatic and painful memories.

The 32 year old dancer added being depressed means this day you are fine but tomorrow you feel worthless and you always think negative about yourself.

He almost isolates himself from the world and preferred to be alone always, but he made up his mind to fight depression by making friends with the right person that will help him build up himself again.

 “The road is dark, the way is unclear, but your heart is beating which means you’re meant to be here. Who you are will always be enough and I genuinely believe that this is an avenue and opportunity for us to understand each other more. To empathize and help one another. 

“Because sometimes all we need is someone who may not necessarily understand what it’s like, but understands what it means to genuinely and unconditionally be there for you,” he said.

Valenciano also shared a piece of advice to those who know people who are going through something right now.

To end his post, he said: “Baby steps are still steps. Keep stepping towards the light at the end of the tunnel and one day, you, us, slowly but surely, will get there. Believe this and you will win.

As of now the dancer is doing fine and his mental state is improving.
