Ellen DeGeneres, known for her iconic talk show and vibrant personality, recently shared a heartfelt revelation about facing multiple health challenges. Despite her struggles, she remained silent until now.
The beloved TV host received unexpected news from her doctors that she never saw coming.
Everything began with a bone screening, which revealed that she has osteoporosis, a condition affecting bone density, often associated with aging. Initially, Ellen thought she had merely sustained an injury, but the reality was different.
Alongside this, she was also diagnosed with ADHD and OCD, leading her to step back from the limelight for some time.
Ellen shared how she has dealt with accusations about creating a toxic environment at work, allegations that have deeply affected her. She described feeling blindsided by these claims.
Over time, she has found the strength to move forward, leaving past events in the past.
Addressing her audience, Ellen spoke candidly about her struggle. She compared her state to feeling like a human sandcastle, mightily standing but constantly at the risk of crumbling.
At times, she worries about possibly deteriorating unexpectedly, even expressing concerns about disintegrating during something as routine as a shower, a metaphor highlighting her vulnerability.
‘I’m not sure how I’m managing to stay upright at present. I just hope it doesn’t worsen,’ she added, highlighting her inner strength. Only she knows the depth of what she endures.
Regarding the relentless criticism aimed at her, Ellen stated that she has learned to tune it out. She knows she can’t change others’ thoughts or actions, so she chooses to focus on what she can control.
