Naike Rivelli has no filters. Guest at One More Timethe podcast of Luca Casadei, the 50 year old talks about the battle with eating disorders and drugs. “A month and a half of drinking juice, I was always throwing up”reveals. She also talks about early menopause, which for her arrived at just 41 years of age.
“When I was a singer I frequented a nocturnal environmentoin every sense. There were many people who used substances to stay awake, and for a time I fell for it too, even though I tend to be pro-cannabis so I tend to look for the opposite effect. I prefer relaxation. It was a dark time. I was surrounded by many people, I literally breathed this environment”confesses Naike.
At that time, she was already the mother of Akash, 29 years old, she felt very alone. And she fell into addiction: “I think that Cocaine is one of the worst drugs in the world. It turns people grey, makes them black. Everything is bad for you, at least that has been my experience. I was very lucky because I saw situations much worse than mine. I had my family by my side and therapy which I believe in a lot. It helped me understand that I was a self-destructive person because I didn’t love myself. We label ourselves: ‘I’m bulimic, I’m anorexic, I’m a cocaine addict’, but for many of us it’s often: ‘I don’t love myself’ and if I don’t love myself with cocaine, maybe I don’t love myself with alcohol, one way or another.”
“I had rented a wonderful house in Sicily but one morning while I was having breakfast I burst into tears: it was a fantastic time, I had just sold an important house, I was full of money but I realized I was as alone as a dog. Even my friends weren’t really my friends, I was surrounded by darkness. I had rented this house to work but no one was working, everyone was out like pine cones. My son Akash found me like this in the morning, in tears, and I knew it was time for a change”explains Rivelli.
Naike also suffered from eating disorders and was anorexic: “A month and a half of drinking juice, I was always throwing upeven though the psychologist I was seeing explained to me that I really didn’t love myself. The best advice to give to girls? Feeling cool, regardless of the kilos. Everything else doesn’t count, and you can’t die from feelings of guilt related to food, fashion and everything else that surrounds it.”
Ornella Muti’s daughter says about menopause: “At 41 I was already in menopause. I had a terrible time with it. After nine years of ordeal in menopause, where I didn’t sleep every night, I thought about suicide. Go crazy. My gynecologist has now helped me feel better with a cure: I can sleep again and I’m a different person. Nobody understood, then I started having major problems: depression, sadness, anxiety, agitation. And this thing about the hot tubs, I was sweating and it felt like they had thrown a bucket of water in my face. We must not lose hope, we must find the right doctor, because you cannot live the situation that I lived for nine years. The right treatment may be different for everyone, but it’s there.”
On love Naike reveals: “I never understood what it was, until a few years ago. Now I understand that love is not about performing. I thought it was like that before, but I didn’t really know what I wanted to do, I had no idea what an orgasm really was. I even ended up going to therapy with a guy because I couldn’t achieve pleasure but I didn’t have the courage to tell him. I also had a girlfriend, a very sentimental relationship, rather than carnal. Today I am very much in love with a maneven though I thought I couldn’t find the right one anymore. Love then arrived by chance: a man from the south who moved to Piedmont. Now we live togetherwe are neighbors of mother’s house.”
