A few weeks ago, a story that came from the phenomenon of social networks shocked public opinion, the case of Genard and Sonida Hajdini raised questions about the boundary between online exposure and mental health, but also how society reacts to someone else's fragility.

"Dita Jonë" has been following this story since the first moment of the institutions' intervention. Today, after being released from the hospital, Genard Hajdini agrees to talk about what happened within the walls of the institution, about the pressure of social networks and about the accusations that, according to him, have further aggravated his situation.

After being discharged from the hospital, Genard Hajdini says that in addition to his health situation, he and his sister have faced another pressure, that of social networks. According to him, the online comments and attacks have been constant.

"We were massacred by the internet because we had so many followers. We were cursed at, we were bullied."

He also talks about the days inside the institution, emphasizing that the most difficult moment was the separation from his sister.

"We were together at first, then they separated us. Sonida was with the women, I was with the men. They wouldn't let us see each other. Then, when I got better, we saw each other."

Regarding the video that prompted reactions and institutional intervention, he admits that the publication came at a moment of pressure.

"To end up from an excellent student with four jobs is scary. I threw the video away because I had pressure from outside."

Genardi says the publication was also a way to react to what he calls constant judgment from society.

"I left the video because I provoke Albanian society. I like to work. Sonida is a fool, she doesn't care, I'm in my own house, she tells me?"

Amidst the numerous allegations circulating online, he categorically denies the accusations of an incestuous relationship with his sister.

"I want to make it clear once and for all, there was no incest." At the end of the conversation, he says they are not asking for mercy, but an opportunity to continue living normally.

"I want them to help us, but we're not here to be helped, we're here to work." Currently, Genard and Sonida Hajdini are trying to return to normality.

Their case brings to mind not only the importance of professional treatment when mental health is at risk, but also the responsibility that public spaces and social networks bear. Because among the reactions, comments, and virality, it is often forgotten that behind every story there are people who face much more complex realities than those shown on screen.
