<p> </p><p>Nadine Lustre made a big revelation on Thursday night. The actress confessed in an Instagram post that she suffers from depression. </p><p>“It may come as a surprise to you but I have struggled with depression way back and still am to this day. I have days where I’m just sitting in the tub, asking myself a lot of questions, confused… I felt like I was just looking in someone else's life through a window. Feeling bad cuz I am not enough and everything that I do and will do will never be enough. It’s not easy. I have days when I have to put a mask on, smiling, numbing myself from negative emotions, too often I have already mastered the art of hiding it, I bet, you never even noticed it,” she wrote. </p><p>Nadine thanked her family and friends for always being there for her. “I’m thankful that I’m blessed to have a strong heart and clear mind. Family who will always be my strength. Friends who will always pull me up. Love who will always guide me,” she posted.</p><p>The actress also shared advice on how to handle it. “If you ever hit rock bottom, don’t be ashamed of opening up to your loved ones. if anyone understands and cares about what you’re going through, it’s them. You are who/what you say you are. If you think you’re weak, you will be weak. If you tell yourself you are not worthy, you will be unworthy. But, if you say you're strong, you will be strong and If you tell yourself you can do it, you can do anything,” she wrote. </p><p>Nadine stressed to never resort to hurting oneself. </p><p>“DONT EVEN think about hurting yourself or taking your life just because you want the pain and sadness to stop. ITS OKAY to be sad. ITS OKAY to feel pain. ITS OKAY to be vulnerable.<br/>We are made to have emotions. Dont be afraid to let it out. Before you do something you will regret, think about all the great things that you can do in the future, people you will meet and places you travel to, the lives you will touch. I almost did it before and I’m so thankful that I didn’t do it, because If I did, I wouldn't be living the life that I have now. Stay with us because life is beautiful. #KeepGoing, (sic)” she posted.</p><p>See her full post below: </p><blockquote class='instagram-media' data-instgrm-captioned='' data-instgrm-version='7' style=' background:#FFF; border:0; border-radius:3px; box-shadow:0 0 1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.5),0 1px 10px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.15); margin: 1px; max-width:658px; padding:0; width:99.375%; width:-webkit-calc(100% - 2px); width:calc(100% - 2px);'><div style='padding:8px;'><div style=' background:#F8F8F8; line-height:0; margin-top:40px; padding:62.5% 0; text-align:center; width:100%;'><div style=' background:url(data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAACwAAAAsCAMAAAApWqozAAAABGdBTUEAALGPC/xhBQAAAAFzUkdCAK7OHOkAAAAMUExURczMzPf399fX1+bm5mzY9AMAAADiSURBVDjLvZXbEsMgCES5/P8/t9FuRVCRmU73JWlzosgSIIZURCjo/ad+EQJJB4Hv8BFt+IDpQoCx1wjOSBFhh2XssxEIYn3ulI/6MNReE07UIWJEv8UEOWDS88LY97kqyTliJKKtuYBbruAyVh5wOHiXmpi5we58Ek028czwyuQdLKPG1Bkb4NnM+VeAnfHqn1k4+GPT6uGQcvu2h2OVuIf/gWUFyy8OWEpdyZSa3aVCqpVoVvzZZ2VTnn2wU8qzVjDDetO90GSy9mVLqtgYSy231MxrY6I2gGqjrTY0L8fxCxfCBbhWrsYYAAAAAElFTkSuQmCC); display:block; height:44px; margin:0 auto -44px; position:relative; top:-22px; width:44px;'> </div></div><p style=' margin:8px 0 0 0; padding:0 4px;'><a href='https://www.instagram.com/p/BaJoMbABR9R/' style=' color:#000; font-family:Arial,sans-serif; font-size:14px; font-style:normal; font-weight:normal; line-height:17px; text-decoration:none; word-wrap:break-word;' target='_blank'>It may come as a surprise to you but I have struggled with depression way back and still am to this day.
