PAM ANDREWS: ‘I STARTED THERAPY’
Zimoja reports that the actress Pam Andrews quit acting and relocated to the United Kingdom with her son.
“So, I started going to therapy recently because I am broken. I have some stuff going on with me, some trauma that happened. It disrupts my life basically. I have to figure out so many things because of it.”
Andrews also says she’s had to give up acting. She tried so many times to just get into that space again but as soon as she tries to go back, she struggles with her hormones. She adds that her whole-body panics, depression and anxiety kick in.
“So, I’m going to therapy, good therapy. Apparently, I might have PTDS also, complex PTSD.” she added.
The actress says she is working on herself. “It’s just good to understand the way you are and why I struggle with certain things. So, I know when I’m feeling a certain way and know what to do to make myself feel better.”

SEEKING VALIDATION
TshisaLIVE reports that Pam Andrews got candid about the things she did when she was seeking validation from others.
“Wherever I went I wanted everyone to look at me, and I made sure everyone was looking at me. I was loud, I was very obnoxious. I was wearing these crazy outfits, not this muffin thing that’s going on here, thank you to my child,” she said on social media.
She also reveals that she was wearing very short skirts. Everywhere she went, she made it a mission that she would get attention even if she went to the shop to buy food.
