Shamita Shetty Opens Up About Going Through Depression And Anxiety During The Lockdown
Shamita Shetty has been away from the limelight for quite some time. The actress is currently quarantining at home with her house help while her mother Sunanda Shetty is with elder daughter and actress Shilpa Shetty and her husband Raj Kundra’s house in Juhu, Mumbai. During her latest conversation, Shamita revealed that it’s difficult for people who are staying away from their family members. Shamita also thanks the technology as it helps her to stay in touch with her family and loved one during this pandemic.

While speaking to Times Of India, Shamita Shetty discussed the drawbacks of living alone in a city during the pandemic, she said, “It’s difficult and it can be depressing to live alone, away from your family. If I did not have my domestic help living with me, things would have been even more difficult. It’s the human company that matters. You have to make an effort to stay positive at a time when news channels have been reporting so much, and a lot of it is quite disturbing. It can add to anxiety. Meditation is one way to keep yourself positive. I make it a point to watch something happy and light before I sleep, so I wake up feeling easy

She then added, “I have gone through moments when I have been depressed and anxious in the day. I am grateful to technology that allowed me to constantly stay in touch with my loved ones. Imagine not being able to see them! I get anxious when my groceries are getting over and I am not finding slots to order them online.”

Further, she spoke about how she tries to keep herself happy and content. She reveals that people who don’t have a facility to work out can still do it by methods of functional training. “I go through phases when I eat a lot. I am an emotional eater. Also, there are days when it’s really hot and I don’t feel like hitting the gym. I just think on those days, pampering yourself and not being hard on oneself can keep you happy,” she added.
