Success as a Child Singer, 10 Portraits of Geofanny Tambunan Discussing the Dark Side of His Life - Experienced Severe Depression and Even Attempted to End His Life

In a podcast with Melaney Ricardo, Geofanny admitted that he sometimes couldn't feel any emotions at all, such as crying, happiness, or even fear.

Not only that, the man born on January 13, 1988, also realized that his eating patterns had become chaotic, resulting in a drastic weight gain.

There were times when Geofanny ordered 10 pieces of fried chicken from a fast-food restaurant at 3 AM just to feel something.

The numbness experienced by Geofanny also made him often scratch himself. His condition worsened to the point where he contemplated wanting to end his life.

However, the universe had other plans. Geofanny, who felt saved by the Creator, decided to see a psychiatrist and was diagnosed with depression.

The process of Geofanny's healing from the depression he experienced took a very long time, during which he had to consume medication even until now.

From his consultations with the psychiatrist, Geofanny realized that his depression did not stem from failing to go to school in New York, which had been his dream since childhood.

The depression experienced by Geofanny was an explosion of accumulated past traumas, where he became a victim of bullying since he was still in school.

To heal his mental health condition, Geofanny is advised to learn to express his feelings and validate whatever he is feeling.

In addition, Geofanny also started a new life in Bali which allowed him to feel a variety of emotions again, gradually reducing his medication dosage.
