Music Angy Fernández regrets talking about her suicidal thoughts: "Having opened myself so much to the world, I think it doesn't benefit me"
This Tuesday, at the Palau d'Esports L'Illa in
Benidorm , the
first semi-final
of the Spanish pre-selection for Eurovision was held
, in which only four artists qualified: the famous trio
Miss Caffeina
, the Catalan
Sofía Coll
- known for participating for the second season of TV3's
Eufòria
-, the
Nebulossa
duo , which has become a viral whirlwind, and
Angy Fernández
(33), the famous singer and actress, who was crowned the true star of the night.
Fernández performed
I know who I am
. An
autobiographical song,
with its now classic punk-emo essence, that moved the more than 1,000 Eurofans present and
millions of people
through the screen. In fact, the Mallorcan became
a trend
in Spain and Portugal and she seemed to be
overflowing
with emotion. What's more, during the voting process, the artist made an
improvised and spontaneous statement,
which transformed her into the queen of social networks.

"I want to tell my family not to leave their entire salary voting for me, like in the other program I did when I was 16. That was too much!" he said in reference to his time on
Factor X,
Cuatro's talent
show
in the which debuted in 2007 and opened the doors to television. "I remember thinking about my family, watching me from home, at the first gala and, ugh! I was shaking...
How much it has rained
since then!" she mentioned, in 2016, to Formula TV.

Since she was little, Angy was interested in music and
taught piano and dance classes.
Thus, upon reaching adolescence, she began to dream of being a
singer
and, in 2005, she decided to audition for the program
Veo Ve.
But, even though she succeeded in the auditions, Ella Fernández
had to be disqualified
for not being old enough to participate. However, two years later, her life smiled on her and the young girl triumphed in the now-defunct singing program.

achieving
glory
in
Factor
_ Despite this, when Angy achieved fame she did not feel as comfortable as one might think. "When I was doing better, in front of the gallery,
was when I started to get worse.
I was successful and had money at 17, but I wasn't having a normal teenage life, like my friends in Mallorca," he said some time ago.

According to Angy, the extreme recognition
overwhelmed her
and hurt her mental health.
But that was not the only thing, because Fernández was living a
stormy romance,
which damaged his heart. "She agreed that she was also in a toxic relationship. She was obsessed and there was
a lot of psychological abuse,"
she said in the program
Este es mi mood.
Finally, the celebrity realized that she was going through
depression
and decided to fight it. Of course, her family was there for her.
After the end of
Physics or Chemistry,
various networks began to fight over Fernández. In fact, for eight years
the phone didn't stop ringing.
Angy was in series such as
The Protected
,
Gym Tony
and
Amar es para siempre
, in the musical
The Call
and in programs such as
Levantate All Stars
and
Tu cara me sona,
where she won. However, during that successful stage, her
depression
attacked her again and she decided to open up to all of her followers in 2019.

"I have suffered from depression for many years and today I feel like
I am getting out of the hole.
I have been in psychological treatment for many years and I think it is an important thing to talk about. I think it is necessary to normalize talking about
anxiety and bullying.
Because many people are going through That. In fact, I don't mind commenting on it. Although there are many people who believe that I do it to play the victim... And that is not real," he explained to LOC, five years ago.
In 2023, Angy makes headlines again for the same issue. And Fernández mentioned that
he had thought "several times" about taking his own life.
"I've thought about it. I thought about getting out of the way, because, in my case, I felt like I was a burden on others because of my depression. But I'm not going to do it, because
I have a lot of people who love me
and who care about me." , he confessed on the
Human Animals
podcast . Later, she regretted her words.
"Sometimes
it's hard for me not to be honest
in an interview. But I'm going to have to stop doing it, because I don't want alarmist headlines,
I don't want to victimize myself.
I want to give normality to a recurring thought that many of us have had at some point and what happens every day," he wrote on Twitter days later. During the same dates, Angy also sparked another controversy: she said that
she had not attended a casting for months
and that she feared for her job future. But her destiny had a surprise in store for her.
For many years, Angy beat herself up for leaving music behind. According to her story, she felt
forced to choose
between her singing career and her acting career and, in the end, she opted solely for acting in order to be considered a "serious" performer. But last year she was presented with the opportunity to take the microphones again and she agreed. Thus she began to work with the prestigious composer
Thomas G:son
and soon
Sé qué soy was born,
her bet for the Benidorm Fest.

And what about his love life? In 2022, Angy
broke up with her ex Jaime García,
a three-seven-year relationship. According to the artist, the breakup was hard and it took her a lot to get used to. But, a couple of months later, the sun began to rise for her.
"I have never been alone for a long time
and it is necessary to learn to be with myself," she told Europa Press. Although the reality is that Fernández did not spend much time alone, because during the preparation of a musical she met
the actor Pepe Nufrio
and today she is happy and in a relationship.
