Kerstin Ott: Defeated by demons – This is how the singer lives today!

Kerstin Ott, the well-known singer of the hit “Always Laughs”, has made a remarkable change in her life in recent years. Today she is stable in life and has successfully overcome some of her personal demons. But the path there was marked by major challenges.

To protect herself from negative comments, Kerstin Ott has deactivated the comment function on her Instagram posts. She explained that for her, social media is a source of information for her fans and not for hate. This decision stems from her experiences with bullying and negative feedback she has received in the past.

A life full of challenges

Before she successfully made the leap into public life, Ott suffered from gambling addiction, which she was able to put behind her. Fame initially brought with it stage fright, which she dealt with with alcohol. She often drank half a bottle of vodka before performances, but was eventually able to stop drinking. Smoking, which she had been practicing since she was 11, is now a thing of the past.

Despite these positive changes, the singer slipped into severe depression. This phase was an immense challenge not only for her, but also for her wife Karolina. Kerstin Ott sought professional help and received support from her partner, with whom she decided to stick together in good times and bad. The difficult time led to a stronger bond between the two.

Coping with depression

In an interview, Ott openly discussed her depression and the emotional states she was experiencing. She described feelings of joylessness and meaninglessness, often accompanied by inexplicable crying. Here she offers valuable advice to other sufferers: seek help, talk to psychologists or psychiatrists and, if necessary, consider medication. She also places these experiences in the context of her new way of life.

After radically changing her lifestyle, Kerstin Ott is now vegan, no longer smokes and does not consume alcohol. These changes have a positive impact on her everyday life and she is happy about a life without cigarettes and the consequences of a hangover. Still, she says clearly that the depression posed major challenges to their marriage, but they overcame them together. Her wife's support was and is invaluable to her.

For anyone struggling with similar problems, Ott also offers contact information for professional help: The telephone counseling service is on the numbers 0800 111 0 111 and 0800 111 0 222 or online at www.telefonseelsorge.de reachable.

Today Kerstin Ott is on a stable path and can look back on an eventful past that has shaped her, but also led to her finding herself.
