Entrepreneur and social media influencer Rosanna Kulju, 30, talks openly about the stages of her depression in Aki Linnanahte’s podcast.
A year ago, Kulju noticed that everything was not right. The aspiring entrepreneur went through a breakup, piloted the Miss Helsinki competition and ran a new company when she was diagnosed with exhaustion and depression.
After realizing the seriousness of his situation, Kulju cleared his calendar.
– Nothing feels like anything. Not expecting anything from the future, Kulju describes his depression.
– I call it the bottom of the well. I’ve also wondered why no one noticed? he ponders now.
Kulju wonders how difficult it is to get help for depression and exhaustion, and describes being hooked on medication. PASI LEISMA
A trifle
Kulju reveals to Linnanahte that he saw a doctor. There, symptoms suggestive of anxiety were put in the crown, although according to Kulju, that was not the case.
– (The doctor) asked that it sounds like corona symptoms, that it could be corona, Kulju wonders.
In the end, the only help he got was medication, such as tranquilizers.
– That’s all the help I got, even from a private person, he sums up.
In social media, the influencer also received disparaging comments. For example, he was advised to leave social media because of his situation.
The comments hurt Kulju, who says that he spent a lot of time at the bottom of the bed before finally getting help from intensive therapy.
