Bubbles Paraiso talks about mental health after experiencing anxiety attack due to trauma trigger


Bubbles Paraiso took to Instagram to talk about mental health after experiencing an anxiety attack due to a trauma trigger.

"Let’s talk about mental health," Bubbles wrote in the caption of her post. "Sometimes, no matter how much you thought you’ve healed from things that traumatized you, something trivial can trigger it and your body’s response is to tear up and hyperventilate straight into an anxiety attack."

"It’s been days since and I’ve been trying to analyze how and why I responded like that," she added.

Without giving away too much details, Bubbles said "it was such a little thing to react to."

She admitted that she has been "trying to invalidate it because of its pettiness."

However, Bubbles said when she told a friend about it. She told her that she "shouldn’t invalidate what I went through because trauma response is real."

"So I’m here to tell you that.. yes, you may heal from whatever has hurt or traumatized you in the past… but sometimes these things will still creep up, haunt you or trigger you years later," she wrote.

She said this event "shouldn’t be a surprise. You’ll be ok. You always will. Stop being so hard on yourself."

"Acknowledge the emotions and the trauma, remind yourself of the experience and the lessons.. then take a deep breath… go back to the present and move forward," she ended her note.

Bubbles also thanked her friends who were there for her at that moment.

Aside from talking about mental health, Bubbles also expressed her strong stand on body positivity. —JAB, GMA News.
