TUESDAY VARGAS – Comedienne Tuesday Vargas’ raw confession about her childhood, abuse, and ongoing fight with mental health struck a chord with thousands of her followers.
Tuesday Vargas, a well-loved comedian admired for her quick wit, recently touched the hearts of many after posting an emotional and revealing message on Facebook. In her viral post, she shared the “10 things most people don’t know” about her, offering a glimpse into her personal history, health conditions, and inner battles.
She started by opening up about her family life. “I was an only child for 11 years born to an OFW mom and a stay at home dad,” Tuesday wrote. Growing up in this situation, she learned independence at a young age and even found ways to support herself. “I sold yema, brownies, and even ukay as early as 9 years old when we moved to Sta. Cruz from Tondo in Almeda St. so I can have baon,” she recalled.
Tuesday also revealed that she was diagnosed with high-functioning autism and ADHD when she was just 12 years old. “Back then there was little to no studies about this condition in women. Most were done on men. I didn’t take meds, I did cognitive behavioral therapy,” she explained, highlighting the lack of awareness about the condition in females during that time.
The comedienne went on to bravely acknowledge the trauma she endured while growing up. “I suffered through different kinds of abuse growing up. But that calls for a different post. I can’t discuss as of the moment all these things in detail. Please pardon me for keeping this one to myself muna at the moment,” she admitted, hinting at the difficulties of her past without going into detail.
She further shared that she has been in therapy since 2018, undergoing more intensive sessions during the pandemic when her condition worsened. “I have been in therapy since 2018. More intensely during the pandemic when my condition worsened. Now I suffer from generalized anxiety, PTSD and panic attack disorder which I am currently working on. I tried to unal*ve myself twice,” she revealed.
Even with these hardships, Tuesday closed her post on an encouraging note. “I am a fighter, a mother who is trying to become a person of value at the same time raising a son who I pray becomes the same,” she wrote, leaving her followers inspired by her courage and determination.
