Ellen Adarna regarded smoking as one of her “poor choices in life” as she opened up about the withdrawal symptoms she has been experiencing, including feeling “mentally, emotionally and physically off.”
Adarna gave fans an update a day after she stopped smoking through her Instagram Stories on Wednesday, June 14. She earlier announced that she bid goodbye to her vice to prepare her body for pregnancy.
“I don’t get styes but it’s here,” showing a small red bump on her lower eyelid. “I think it’s from the emotional stress that I went through and I’m still going through—the detachment from the vape.”
“My demons are strong today but I can do this,” she noted.
Adarna also answered a question sent by a netizen, asking if the actress “still gets depressed days.”
“[I do get] low days, but depressed? Now. I feel depressed now because of one reason—because of the vape,” she admitted. “I feel really low. Mentally, emotionally [and] physically off.”
Despite this, the actress expressed her determination as she said she has only given herself a few days to “feel off.”
“But I’ll get through this. I’ll get used to it. I’m giving myself three days to feel off then after [that], I’ll snap out of it,” she stressed. “F*cking vape—my poor choice in life. I got only myself to blame.”
