Bukky Wright, a seasoned Nollywood actress, recently shared how loneliness in America took a toll on her mental health.
Speaking in an interview on Teju Babyface’s official YouTube channel, she opened up about the emotional challenges she faced after relocating to the U.S., including the aftermath of her divorce. She revealed that her sense of isolation contributed to a period of depression during her time there.
During an appearance on the Teju Baby Face Show, Bukky Wright opened up about her struggles with depression. She shared how she had to rely on medication to manage the condition. Bukky revealed that her children played a crucial role in helping her overcome this difficult time.
The talented actress expressed her deep affection for her children, describing them as both her strongest supporters and her most honest critics. She mentioned that their love for her was unwavering, just as her love for them has always been.
Bukky also shared how her children encouraged her to stop stressing and take time to enjoy life.
In her statement, she said, “It’s unfortunate that a lot of people have a different perception of me, and they don’t really know who I am. I’m a very private person, and sometimes my being private gets so lonely to the extent that my friends started calling me a boring person because I just want to sit somewhere on my own to watch movies, read, and write. I went through divorce, I was lonely, and I suffered depression in America. I’m not a very sociable person, I keep to myself a lot, and I don’t think a lot of people know that, and if you are a person like me, it’s easy to fall into depression.”
