During the worst stage of her depression, Hong Kong actress Carman Lee did not leave her home for a week, not bathing, brushing her teeth, changing her clothes or combing her hair.

Carman Lee said that years of guilt towards her family and the pressure she faced from the media and society about her decade-long relationship led her to develop depression in 2009.During the worst stage of her depression, Hong Kong actress Carman Lee did not leave her home for a week, not bathing, brushing her teeth, changing her clothes or combing her hair.
She shared that it started because of the pressure she faced during and after her decade-long relationship with wealthy businessman Guo Yingquan, who was 20 years older than her, between 1998 and 2008. "To be honest, these voices did hurt me then. I was indeed very affected by it and was very unhappy then," she said, adding that she began to doubt herself.
Carman also shared that she once stuffed herself with two Swiss rolls, not because she thought they were delicious, but because she was unaware of her actions. She said she was so controlled by her depression that she could only accept it. But she also realised that depression is like an "antagonist" who would "torture" her when she is feeling unhappy. But when she is happy, it will retreat.
