Actor Matt Lozano shares his personal journey of battling depression and finding healing through self-acceptance and pursuing his passion for music.
Actor Matt Lozano opened up about his past struggles with depression during his recent appearance on Mikee Quintos' 'Lutong Bahay' program. Lozano shared that the confluence of multiple factors, including the sudden halt in projects after winning 'Eat Bulaga's' Spogify singing competition, contributed to his mental health decline. He described feeling lost, unsupported, and overwhelmed, leading to weight gain and unsuccessful auditions.
Lozano revealed a harrowing incident where he drove at 100 kilometers per hour on Congressional Avenue in a state of intoxication and suicidal despair. He recalled feeling like he was in the darkest place imaginable until the sight of a church stopped him abruptly. He parked his car in front of the church and prayed, seeking forgiveness and expressing his confusion about his life's direction. His mother, Elaine, shared her own struggles, expressing her helplessness in protecting her son as he matured. She confided in viewers that she constantly prayed for his safety and well-being. Lozano's experience ultimately led him to a profound epiphany. He realized the importance of self-acceptance and decided to pursue his passion for music, even though he faced challenges in the entertainment industry. He now cherishes his authenticity and encourages others to embrace who they truly are
