Catherine Zeta Jones has previously revealed that she suffers from bipolar disorder and now she has opened up more on how she felt when telling the world about it. She said that at first it wasn’t easy to tell her personal information to the media, but she did it to help those who also suffer from the condition and to try to remove any stigma around it:
“It’s not easy. I’m not the kind of person who likes to shout out my personal issues from the rooftops, but with my bipolar becoming public, I hope fellow sufferers will know it’s completely controllable. I hope I can help remove any stigma attached to it, and that those who don’t have it under control will seek help with all that is available to treat it.”
Catherine also says she loves to work out because it makes her feel good, and she doesn’t even need a personal trainer to keep her motivated. She says it helps her mood and one her workout secrets includes hula-hooping which she does daily:
“I don’t have a trainer. Crazy, right? But I don’t need anyone to motivate me. I love exercise, even things like the elliptical and stretching. It really helps my mood too, which, with the bipolar thing, is important. I’m obsessed with hula-hooping. I do it for 20 minutes a day. I don’t use the old-fashioned hollow plastic kind we had when we were kids, but I discovered a new one at Danskin that’s smaller and weighted.”
Speaking on her new wardrobe which she is currently building, Catherine says she is in love with the room and feels like she could spend hours inside it:
“I’m building a closet in my house now, and it’s like a dream. Racks on each side, a whole boudoir. I sit in there and watch CNN. Michael says one day I’m going to go in and never come out!”
