JAKARTA - Artist and presenter Andhara Early admitted that he was facing mental health problems or anxiety disorders. According to him, this happened because he could not express his feelings.

At first, Andhara still thought this was a normal thing, but over time he kept that feeling his body became easily tired with age.

"I don't know either, it's just like it turns out that we are going through our awareness, we have a lot of thoughts that we don't dare to express, maybe or don't dare to express that," said Andhara Early in the Karet Semanggi area, South Jakarta, recently.

"And maybe in the past we thought, 'oh okay, I'm okay', but as we get older, our bodies are also getting tired, it turns out that we are hoarding all of that," he continued.

At first, this 44-year-old woman had rejected her situation but over time she felt something was strange about her. It's like feeling panicked or when she feels uncomfortable just because there's music around her.

"So the denial is even more powerful, yes, it comes out suddenly too. It's because of panic, it can be, because it's as short as my breath or it can be all kinds of things. For example, listening to music, we're actually okay but we can do it, 'how come I'm not comfortable, huh?', it could be immediately nervous, "he said.

He admitted that he had felt this since the last 10 years. Where previously he considered this only a phobia or excessive fear of something.

However, this was increasingly felt when the COVID-19 outbreak began to hit where a lot of news according to Andhara seemed to scare people about death.

"There is (10 years of taste), so starting things like I used to have a phobia, right? I know it's called a phobia, for example I see if I keep thinking about why my phobia is getting more and more. But getting here is getting more and more (silent) especially during the pandemic, everyone is scared of what death is, what is the poko, everything is getting even more exciting," he concluded.
