On April 13 at Botejyu, Vertis North, Quezon City, Ryza Cenon shared her struggles and questioned God’s plan for her life.
She questioned why certain things happened and what she should do to move forward.
“Yes po, ako po meron, especially kapag nad-depress ako, ‘Bakit laging ganito? Ano bang maling nagawa ko?'” the actress shared.
Ryza laughingly refused to specify what made her doubt God’s plan.
According to her, “Madami po, career and personal po. Halo-halo na din po kasi, pero sinagot din naman Niya ako. Tinulungan naman Niya ako.”
In 2017, Ryza opened up about suicidal tendencies during a rift with Jennylyn Mercado over affair issues with Mark Reyes. “Yun ang struggle ko that time, maraming bashers and all, hindi ko siya kayang i-handle.”
In an exclusive interview with Pep.ph in 2021, Ryza, as a new mom, recounts how she still gets the sudden feeling of sadness every now and then.
“Yes, nararamdaman ko pa rin ang postpartum [depression], ramdam ko yung pagod,” said Ryza.
“Nung time nung nag-give up na ako sa kaniya, parang sinabi ko, ‘Binibigay ko na sa’yo lahat, kayo na pong bahala sa akin, kung ano ba talaga ang nangyari. — Siguro walang patutunguhan kung ke-kwestiyunin ko lang ng ke-kwestyunin, hihintayin ko kung ano yung sagot at ano ang dapat kong gawin para bumangon.”
Ryza also emphasized the importance of not always sharing one’s struggles with others. She recognized that it is not necessary to disclose everything to everyone and that sometimes it can even be counterproductive.
“Hindi naman kailangan ipaalam lagi na may pinagdadaanan. — Hindi naman din nakakatulong din na nakikita ng tao na depressed ka,” shared Ryza during the “Sa Muli” press conference.
Ryza Cenon is set to co-star with Xian Lim in the upcoming film Sa Muli, directed by Fifth Solomon.
