Ana Paula Dutil’s heartbreaking testimony when she talks about her fight against depression

Ana Paula DutilEmanuel Ortega’s ex-partner was a guest THEY (América TV, Monday to Friday at 8pm) and spoke, heart-to-heart, about the dramatic struggle he had to face with depression and also hinted that he wanted to end his life.

Ángel de Brito inquired about the hard and dark years that the model went through after the separation from the singer and asked her if her situation has worsened during the coronavirus pandemic. “My depression started many years before. I wasn’t diagnosed, I wasn’t treated well, and I think during the pandemic I separated and moved, because I lived with Emanuel in Miami for ten years. It was all together,” she began by saying.

“There we separate and I return with my children (India and Bautista, the fruit of her marriage with the interpreter of Shyness) and coming here, I don’t know why it was worse. I sank deeply and it happened that because I hadn’t been diagnosed with depression, I wasn’t well treated,” she continued with her story.

It was there that the host of the series identified with the interviewee and suggested that it must not have been easy for her, after 20 years of relationship with one of the members of the Ortega clan, to reinvent herself: “I love him very much and he loves me him too, me, but the pair was exhausted. Finding myself in Argentina alone, not only because obviously there is family, children, friends, was like starting all over again. He saw everything black, dark. “My thoughts were very dark.”.

As for the depression she went through, Ana Paula went deeper and hinted that her separation had something to do with it, but that the trigger wasn’t that as the relationship strain had been going on for some time. : “At first I thought I didn’t realize it, but then I no longer had the strength to do the things they told me I had to do.”

“I didn’t really realize it. All I wanted was to stay in bed and sleep. And that’s why I drank alcohol and slept and slept, even though I lived with my children,” Dutil said honestly.

When asked if alcohol had become an addiction in her life, she took charge and was decisive: “Yes. I attended several groups that helped me a lot. Many things helped me. First of all, my family and my children, beyond the fact that at that moment I didn’t feel empathy, because nothing that happened around me mattered to me, I just wanted to sleep. But yes, the family, the people, because there are also people who get tired and run away.”

“In the midst of the pandemic, when I had an episode, they hospitalized me because I was a danger to myself, but it didn’t work that way, it was worse. Until a friend came and told me: ‘this psychiatrist will help you’ and then I started to feel better,” he concluded.

The day Julieta Ortega saved her life

Ana Paula spoke about the bond she formed with Julieta Ortega, her former sister-in-law, and described her as “the sister she never had.” Dutil in fact revealed a situation about her and told of the day in which the actress saved her life.

“When I returned from Miami, one of Emanuel’s brothers lent me an apartment in the same building as Julieta and she was very careful,” said the model and confessed that Julieta has always been very attentive to her and her health .

In fact, he was referring to an episode in which he had taken some pills and did not answer the door or the phone. That day, Julieta turned to the police and her brother Emanuel and they saved her from that suicide attempt. “The day I didn’t respond and what happened happened, she was the one who helped me, because she was there,” Dutil revealed.

Some time ago, Julieta, inside PH: We can talk (Telefe) had recounted that same episode with great drama: “One morning he didn’t answer, he didn’t answer, I called my brother, I told him ‘Ana Paula isn’t answering the door’ and we called the police and they broke down the door. She had “I took a bag full of pills but I was alive. I don’t know what would have happened if I had arrived a little earlier or a little later. But I arrived when I arrived. “

“We were in the same building and when they opened the door I walked out. I told my brother, “I can’t see it.” I don’t know what we’ll find. I’m leaving, “he said. “I went home and as soon as I arrived Emanuel called me to come. “If he tells me it’s because he lives,” I thought. “It was very sad,” he concluded.
