Jorge Javier Vázquez speaks without complexes about his mental health problems: "It created anxiety for me"

The year 2023 is about to end, and with 2024 there are already many who set goals to start again, as is the case with Jorge Javier Vázquez, who has reappeared better than ever after the cancellation of his program 'Chinese Tales ' in an exclusive interview with Readings.

In the magazine, the popular presenter has spoken openly about the mental health problems that he has faced for more than 15 years without stopping working and that was linked to his complexes with his physique, which he also recounted in the aforementioned interview.

All this already excited with a new project on the horizon, as Jorge Javier Vázquez revealed that he will once again be the presenter of the next edition of the reality show 'Survivors', whose health problems caused him to miss the second half of the program.

With renewed energy, the former presenter of Sálvame recognized his problems with complexes with his physique: "Before, I always asked for a scale at hotels. I weighed myself every day and structured the day according to weight. The idea of ​​returning from vacation bothered me. with a few extra kilos and being called fat and it created anxiety in me," he reveals on his personal blog.

"Anxiety didn't help me control myself so, in the end, I remember my vacation fighting against the guilt complexes that accompanied me if I decided to have dessert," declares Jorge Javier.

The presenter also adds that he feels alone on vacation knowing that he will return for a new Survivor, and that he is in a good moment on a personal level: "It's a feeling that you have to be constantly working on television because if not your life It doesn't make sense. And life is much more than that. That's clear, but what would you say to someone who headlines: 'Jorge, broken television toy'? I don't care. For some, I'll be two failures away from being a broken toy," he says.

Jorge Javier Vázquez returned to television with Cuentos Chinos, but acknowledged that he handled its cancellation well due to his work in mental health: "I had worked hard on failure in therapy. It was something that made me suffer. I have learned to accept negative feelings. Before I shied away from sadness, now I accept it," he admits.
