Fortunately, Maxene now knows how to handle this state of mind in a more positive way. The actress dealt with it by praying, exercising, doing yoga and pilates, going to the bank, and cooking a meal.

She also meditated on her emotions and cried her heart out to feel better. The star shared that her psychological issues usually decrease when she focuses more on loving herself.

“These past few days, I’ve been feeling disconnected. Disconnected from myself, my surroundings and reality in general. This is because when something traumatic happens in a child’s life, dissociation takes place which is the feeling of leaving one’s body as a way for the mind to cope with too much stress. Trauma is the result of the physical body going through an intense experience that the mind was not ready for.

“In my humble opinion, there is no one to blame when this happens because I sincerely believe that everyone is trying their best with whatever they have and know in this world. I honestly don’t think people pass on trauma to others on purpose. I think there is just really not that much awareness on these sensitive topics and some people don’t even know they’re actually traumatized.

“Let’s face it—we all are.

“So when I get triggered or when 6 planets are in retrograde (like now lol), I tend to go into a dissociative state wherein I shut down and go blank

“Good thing I’m slowly getting the hang of this mental health thing because today, I noticed that my negative energy was getting the best of me so I actively connected to reality by getting my long to-do list done.

“I prayed, meditated, went for a run, practiced yoga, went to the bank for errands, did pilates and even prepared my own meal. I also sat with my emotions and cried to release more stagnant energy. Self-care truly is one of my favorite remedies and I realized that even when I’m feeling overwhelmed or sad, I can easily turn things around just by loving myself a litle more.
