Brother of Big Brother Finalist Raphael Twina Reveals Mental Health Struggles

Raphael Twina, who finished fourth in the recent season of the Israeli reality show Big Brother, gained significant public support throughout the competition. Her brother, Yohanan Twina, a social media influencer with hundreds of thousands of followers on Instagram and TikTok, managed her social media accounts and urged fans to vote for her. However, Yohanan has now opened up about the heavy mental toll this responsibility has taken on him.

In an Instagram story, Yohanan shared his struggles with anxiety and sleeplessness, explaining that the pressure to support his sister and manage her newfound fame has been overwhelming. He described feeling constant worry that he is not doing enough for Raphael, who entered the entertainment industry with tens of thousands of followers after the show. Yohanan said, "The mental state is not good at all. I haven't been able to sleep for days due to stress and anxiety."

He also revealed how the intense focus on his sister caused him to neglect his own well-being, leaving him trapped in a cycle of stress and fear of failure. "My heart races 24/7 from anxiety and pressure," he admitted, adding that even after the show's finale, the pressure remains. Yohanan expressed that every small mistake feels catastrophic and that he struggles to find peace or live in the moment.

Despite these challenges, Yohanan reassured his followers and himself that he will recover and return to creating content. He concluded with a message of gratitude and hope: "I will be okay, I love you all so much, and I promise to get back to myself as soon as possible."
