Dora Makriyannis talked about the abusive relationship she was in, her unpleasant experience and the people who helped her.[/B]
The actress shared a video on her personal Instagram account and expressed her feelings to her audience. Moreover, she wanted to send an optimistic message to her online friends.
"You see me now taking a stand against this story and being more positive and bright. I talk about it with more comfort and strength. And that's because we talk about it all these years later," the actress first said and explained that the relationship began when she was just 16 years old. As she mentioned, it lasted for two years.
As she then mentioned, she had come to have depression and also suicidal tendencies. There were, however, people who stood by her side.
"I have been depressed, it has happened that I don't want to open the shutter so the sun can see me. I've gotten to the point, when this whole situation was perpetuated, where I was suicidal because I thought I couldn't put a stop to what was going on and my mind went to this 'solution'. Fortunately though, there were people who helped me a lot. I have been in sessions where they gave me pills. I found the strength though and I said I wasn't born this way and I don't have a problem, I don't want to take medication, it's in me and I found the strength. I judged it that way," she said.
"I know what it's like to walk down the street and be scared. To walk out of the house and think you're being watched. To be afraid of who to talk to, if you'll talk, if they'll find out because you talked. What it means to be afraid of how you dress, because that can be judged, because we're probably talking about a jealousy that is uncontrollable. I know what it means to have anxiety disorders, with all that that entails. Tachycardia, intense palpitations, sweating, panic attacks, not being able to sleep at night, constant nightmares. I know all this and that's why I can relate to you and I don't say this lightly. I fought very hard for this," the actress added.
Finally, she concluded with a message she wanted to send to everyone. Specifically, she encouraged her followers to find the power within themselves and never expect anything from anyone.
"That power is within you. Don't expect anyone to tell you that you have the power and that you can overcome it. There are people around us, or maybe there aren't, who love us, who want to help us. Don't ever expect anything from anyone, because the world is not that idealistic. I will never forget being in a public place, being in an apartment building across the street, screaming and asking for help and no one coming down to help, at least bring the police," he concluded.
