Huang Xiaoming: My marriage saved me from depression
4 Jun – Chinese actor Huang Xiaoming recently admitted that his marriage with Angelababy has really saved him from falling deeper into depression.
As reported on Epoch Times, the actor, who opened up about his struggles with the disorder recently, revealed that he began to suffer from a mild depression when he turned 35.
"At the time, I felt like I had made a lot of wrong choices in my life. I was troubled by the wrong projects I had taken heart at criticisms from the outside world about my acting," he said.
Huang admitted that he felt no need to see other people during that time, adding, "Even looking at cats and dogs, I just felt that they despised me."
The now 40-year-old said that while he tried to find release through exercise, the biggest factor in getting him out of his situation was his marriage with actress Angelababy in 2015.
"When you are married, your focus is on your family. The family becomes the most important thing to you. Having a child, that's like having another layer of armour," said Huang, who welcomed son "Little Sponge" last year.
The actor also admitted that he has also reduced his work since the birth of his son, saying, "I don't want to miss his growth."
