Muriel Robin is one of the most renowned comedians of her generation. If the actress seems to love her job, especially because it offers her a certain proximity to her audience, Muriel Robin suffers from hypersensitivity. An uneasiness that turns her daily life upside down and plunged her into a deep depression. “I am depressed, I have always had that in me”, admits Muriel Robin this Saturday, October 30, 2021 on the airwaves of Europe 1.
At the microphone of Isabelle Morizet in the show “There is not only one life in life”, Muriel Robin has agreed to confide in this difficult to manage disorder. “When you put on an ointment, it gets better. But the sore is always underneath. And when it comes from early childhood, everyone can understand it well, the ointment that is the public is not enough”, recognizes Muriel Robin before confiding: “The recognition of the public, it’s magnificent, it gives respite. It soothes, but it does not heal the background. The public has not replaced my family. We have to take care of it ourselves. Even. You have to get your hands dirty. I still find explanations today as to why something deeply black inside me. I speak of these things for people who recognize themselves in there, who have early childhood injuries that date back to some time in their lives. “
“I am on antidepressants, I say it, and it will be my whole life”
By devoting herself fully to her work, Muriel Robin thought she had found a way out. “I wanted to make movies because I wanted a family to hug me. It’s very childish, it’s very childish. I could have made any movie just to be told ‘ You, I want you. I didn’t want to be known, I wanted to be recognized, in my sensitivity in particular, ”she explains, still on Europe 1.“ That was not the case. So it is. the person that I am. I moved forward alone. It is written like that for me. I have this in common with Anne, my companion “. But rest assured, Muriel Robin is fine. “I’m not complaining, I’m fine. I’m much better than before”, assures the comedian before adding: “It’s very clear with me: you read in me like in a book open. And besides, I’ve always said everything. So we saw when I was well, when I was not well, when I was fat, when I was medium-fat, little-a- little-fat, much fat, short hair, long hair, etc. “.
Addicted to antidepressants, Muriel Robin readily admits: “I’m on antidepressants, I say it, and it will be my whole life. I can’t live without antidepressants, but I feel normal. It’s the others that I find weird. find it weird that you can live normally while having all the horrible things on this planet. I tried to do without the antidepressants, but it doesn’t work. It doesn’t work anymore “. A disturbing testimony.
