Surgery can ease the physical pain but what about the mental agony? What about the mental stress or the long-term effect of staying in the game in a cut-throat industry! Well, Ritabhari Chakraborty has suffered a lot and she is still fighting her own battle to take care of her mental health.

In a recent

social media

post, the actor-writer shared how difficult this journey has been so far. She also revealed how her obsession with a perfect figure took a toll on her health. Ritabhari’s long post reveals the two surgeries she had recently were successful but it left her with

PTSD

and

depression

that she is still healing from.

“I have been on a million diets and trillion work out regimes since 2013. I would take a mirror

selfie

everyday to make sure i am in shape. I was obsessed with being the perfect 36-26-36. 8 months ago things came crashing down on me when i was physically ill and underwent 2 surgeries. In between i could barely move and stayed on the bed waiting for the pain to go away. The surgeries were successful but left me with ptsd and depression that am still healing from. I have tried to be kind to myself and tell myself its ok to take time to heal but the ambitious and work loving part of me has no patience,” wrote

Ritabhari

in her long post along with a mirror selfie that shows how she’s recovering.

The actress added she is revealing all these things because she wants everyone to know the current state she’s in. “Am healing now and not from physical pain anymore but depression that has made me pretty aloof from everything. Someday i’ll talk to you all about it in details and how i healed but not today because its still hard to even come face to face with everything i have been through.
Thank you for staying by my side always. I love you and don’t take your love for granted. I’ll be back on the screen with a bang but for now i’ll heal. Heal to become a better version of me,” Ritabhari’s post read.
