Nagbalik-tanaw ang actor-director na si Fifth Solomon tungkol sa mga araw bago siya atakehin ng mental breakdown at magpaospital noong June 16, 2025.
Kalakip ng Instagram post ni Fifth ang kanyang larawan habang nasa emergency room ng isang ospital.
Bagamat may nakakabit sa kanyang mga aparato ay nag-pose siya nang naka-double peace sign.
Sa Instagram ngayong Miyerkules, July 2, 2025, ibinahagi ni Fifth na bago siya atakehin ng mental breakdown ay nilalabanan din niya ang depression, borderline personality disorder (BPD), at anxiety.
Lahad niya: "This was me just weeks ago.
"Rushed to the emergency room because of a mental breakdown and a full-blown panic attack. This photo was taken by my sister — after I finally calmed down.
"It’s a version of me that’s far from what most people are used to seeing. No suit, no makeup, no signature winged eyeliner. Just me, stripped down and barely holding on.
"That night, I went through every physical test. A few days later, I went to see my psychiatrist.
"They changed my medication… and I was diagnosed as bipolar — on top of my ongoing battles with depression, BPD, and anxiety."

FIFTH SOLOMON chooses to be loyal to himself
Noong mga panahong iyon, tila naramdaman daw ni Fifth na parang kalaban niya ang mundo.
Bukod sa na-bully umano siya, kinaladkad siya at personalan ang atake sa kanya.
Kahit daw mga hindi niya kilala ay pinagsabihan siya ng hindi magagandang salita.
Parang may puwersa raw na ayaw siyang magtagumpay.
Ang pinakamasakit pa raw sa lahat, tila may ilan sa mga ito ang nais siyang mag-fail at mamatay.
Dagdag niya: "During that time, it truly felt like the world was against me. I was bullied, dragged, attacked personally.
"People who didn’t even know me said the meanest things, as if they did. And honestly, some didn’t just want me to fail — they wanted me DEAD."
Dahil daw sa madilim na landas na kanyang napagdaanan, napagtanto niyang dapat unahin muna ang kanyang sarili.
Kung walang-wala ka na raw kasi, tatalikuran ka na lang nila na parang hindi ka nila naging kakilala.
Aniya pa, "But in all that darkness, I was given one painful but powerful gift: realization.
"When you’re no longer valuable to what they need, they’ll throw you away like you’re nothing.
"It’s true — when you have nothing, that’s when you find out who truly values you, who genuinely loves you, and who was never real in the first place.
"So now, I choose to be loyal to myself.
"I trust no one blindly.
"And I keep going — because I deserve to live, to heal, and to rise again."

Kasunod nito ang pag-anunsiyo niyang na-diagnose siya ng kanyang doktor na meron siyang bipolar disorder, isang "mental illness that causes unusual shifts in a person's mood, energy, activity levels, and concentration. These shifts can make it difficult to carry out day-to-day tasks," ayon sa National Institute of Mental Health.
