Nonnie Nonlanee The beautiful daughter of legendary actress Ann Sirium Today, while pregnant, she opened up for the first time after marrying her non-celebrity boyfriend in a joyful ceremony. She explained the reason behind her emotional social media post about feeling homeless and isolated, and revealed she had suffered severe depression with suicidal thoughts, on the "Kuy Zaab Show" program on One31, hosted by DJ Putt Puttichai and Tanya Thanyares as hosts.
How far along is your pregnancy now?
Nonnie: "A little over 6 months."
Is this your first appearance on Kuy Zaab Show? Do you know the baby's gender?
Nonnie: "It's a girl. I didn't have a preference; I was fine with either."
What about your husband?
Nonnie: "Same, but it seems he prefers a daughter. He came today but didn't want to be on camera because he's shy (laughs)."
What's your husband's name?
Nonnie: "Khun A."
Why does Khun A want a daughter?
A: "As a man, I understand men's nature. I think having a daughter would be easier to raise (laughs)."
How did you meet?
Nonnie: "We actually worked at the same company. At that time, I was in Chiang Mai and A was at Suvarnabhumi Airport. We met at a company seminar. No one was flirting; we were just friends."
When did sparks fly?
Nonnie: "We just kept talking and gradually felt a connection."
What did you like about Khun A?
Nonnie: "He's honest and shy."
Is that true, A?
Nonnie: "No, I was tricked (laughs)."
A: "That's right. I can't keep up with her (laughs)."
Nonnie: "No (laughs). We just can't keep up with each other."
What does A like about Nonnie?
A: "I like that she's fair-skinned and has a good personality. She's always smiling and laughing. I fell for that."
Did the long-distance relationship affect you?
Nonnie: "It wasn't that far. Flights now take only an hour."
Did you travel to see each other often?
Nonnie: "I'm attached to him. I visited almost every week. He comes once a month; the rest of the time I fly to see him on weekends."
After flying back and forth, when did you find out you were pregnant?
Nonnie: "I had moved to Bangkok then. I felt something was off and wondered if I was pregnant, so I tested. I started eating a lot and had mood swings. I didn't expect to be pregnant but when I was, I wasn't shocked and told him first."
How did A feel when he knew Nonnie was pregnant?
A: "Having a child is a good thing. We didn't do anything wrong. She is pregnant, and I must take responsibility. We had no problems. We're both 30 and ready to be parents."
What did your mother, Ann, say?
Nonnie: "Mom said if I'm pregnant, then just raise the child. That was it."
Did you initially plan for a big wedding despite the pregnancy?
Nonnie: "You have to understand that being pregnant during a wedding means you can't fully enjoy it. You can't wear high heels or drink. We thought about not having a big event, but after the elders from both sides talked, they wanted a celebration. So, it was a small, warm gathering mostly with my mother's friends, with relatives singing along. It was a simple event."
When wedding photos were released, you revealed you were already four months pregnant?
Nonnie: "We had to say it because my belly was quite big. People could tell anyway. There was no reason to hide it."
Did you consult your mother first?
Nonnie: "No, I decided on my own because I don't see it as shameful."
Did you receive any backlash?
Nonnie: "I got direct messages accusing me of being shameless for being pregnant before marriage. I replied that it's not wrong. I used to not respond, but one day I couldn't take the free criticism anymore. It was a minority; most comments were positive, so I focused on the positivity."
After marriage, fans noticed your couple photos with A disappeared from Instagram. Why?
Nonnie: "People said we had a breakup, so I clarified that our bed isn't broken, just shaking (laughs)."
What happened?
Nonnie: "It was a silly argument, very minor, so minor I don't even remember the cause. I didn't delete photos, just hid them. A has a secret Instagram account to follow me. When he saw the couple photos gone, he asked why I removed them. I said I didn't want to keep them (laughs). We were just sulking."
How long did the sulking last?
Nonnie: "Not long. We don't let things drag on. Usually, we take turns making up. I don't even remember why the photos disappeared. I think everyone sulks sometimes."
Did you restore the hidden photos?
Nonnie: "Long ago. You can check normally now."
You posted a complaint saying you never had what’s called a home. What happened?
Nonnie: "It was a mood of feeling hurt. I don't know if it was hormonal. Before pregnancy, I didn't have this mood. I wanted to vent but didn't know who to. I felt it was trivial and wondered why I didn't spend my time doing something else. I saw many people posting on Instagram, so why can't I? I thought after the baby is born, I won't have time to post, so I wanted to post these five times and then stop."
How did your husband support you after your posts?
A: "Nonnie doesn't usually express anger; she keeps it inside. I can't know until she feels better and opens up about various issues, including snoring and more. I think it's also pregnancy hormones. Before pregnancy, she smiled easily and laughed a lot. After pregnancy, it's like a complete change."
Nonnie: "Enough, enough."
A: "Even my breathing is wrong (laughs)."
Did you ever want to block your wife because of these messages?
A: "No, never. I understand."
Are you worried about postpartum depression?
Nonnie: "Is there more?"
Was your long complaint post related to your previous depression?
Nonnie: "Yes. I should explain that I've had depression for about 4–5 years. This is serious and should never happen: inconsistent medication intake. You must take medicine regularly as prescribed and attend all appointments. Because I was moving between Chiang Mai and Bangkok and living life fully, I neglected my medication and medical visits, which is bad. I should have gone regularly and taken medicine consistently. As time passed, I didn't improve; my condition worsened."
When did you first feel something was wrong and sought medical help?
Nonnie: "I felt like I didn't want to do anything. Suddenly, I was bored with everything and cried without cause. I couldn't sleep, so I started seeing a doctor but was inconsistent, switching hospitals often. It's not shameful or a fault; if you're sick physically or mentally, you should see a doctor."
Did missing medical care lead you to harm yourself?
Nonnie: "Because I was very bad, the doctor said I lacked a mental anchor, which made me feel lost and my condition worsened, leading to suicidal thoughts, which is very serious."
Did you act on it?
Nonnie: "Yes. I overdosed on medication, taking everything I had. My liver values shot up to 3–4 thousand. I was hospitalized for a week."
How did you survive?
Nonnie: "I talked with my boyfriend. He sensed something was wrong and called 1669 emergency services. They followed procedures to wash out my stomach, I was in ICU. I was conscious but couldn't move. The procedure involved inserting a tube through my nose to my stomach to suction charcoal. I had to keep the tube for a day overnight. It was painful and uncomfortable."
What happened after the stomach wash?
Nonnie: "I stayed in ICU. The medical bills were hundreds of thousands. It was a lesson; I won't do that again. Seeing the bills made me stop (laughs). It's not good. I understand everyone has weak moments. I was one who didn't know how to find a way out."
How did your husband feel when he learned about this and you were hospitalized?
A: "I was very worried. She was alone in Chiang Mai, and I was in Bangkok. I wanted to go immediately but couldn't. I told her to stay calm and called 1669 to get her to the hospital as soon as possible. At first, she didn't want to go, maybe due to depression, but after persuading, she agreed. I was also devastated and didn't know what to do."
Nonnie: "Believe it or not, he noticed everything right; it was scary."
If A hadn't noticed something was wrong, we might not be here talking. How did he encourage you?
A: "I told her to stay calm, not keep things inside, and find someone trustworthy to talk to. Keeping things alone is like carrying the whole world."
Nonnie: "I'm someone who doesn't like to talk and keeps things to myself."
Did your mother say anything when she learned about this?
Nonnie: "She didn't talk directly to me. I think she was sad. Mothers would be sad. She talked to A instead."
What updates did she give A while you were in ICU?
A: "My mother was very worried. No mother wants to see their child in ICU. She was sad and helpless. This had never happened before. Although she was busy and couldn't come, I went to support Nonnie so she would feel cared for. We've kept in touch since."
Nonnie: "Usually mothers and daughters argue."
How did you feel hearing that she worries but doesn't say so directly?
Nonnie: "I know she worries and loves all her children. I love her too, but sometimes our communication is just a few words before arguing (laughs). It started when I was 14–15."
Are you fully recovered now?
Nonnie: "There may be future side effects. My body doesn't know; toxins remain despite the stomach wash. The effects likely persist."
Is depression curable?
Nonnie: "It takes a long time. I like to think I'm better. I take 5–6 pills a day. During pregnancy, I feel nauseous and try not to take sleeping pills. My doctor says to take them only if I really can't sleep. Now the baby moves, and when I take medicine, the baby stops moving, which scares me because the medicine is strong, and I get drowsy."
Do you think your childhood caused your depression?
Nonnie: "Talking to the doctor, it’s related. Depression doesn't develop in 2–3 days; it's accumulated over 25 years."
What was the issue?
Nonnie: "I felt lonely and lost, with no one to talk to. My mother worked a lot during my childhood, and this built up over years."
Looking back, do you understand?
Nonnie: "I understand, but not without feelings. I realize if she didn't work, how would she pay for school and living expenses? Being a single mother, she had to work hard. As a child, around 5–6 years old, I felt money wasn't important; I wanted time, friends, and outings, but I had none, so I was lonely."
When did you start understanding your mother?
Nonnie: "In my twenties."
Did childhood lacks affect you as an adult? Now that you're a mother, what will you compensate for?
Nonnie: "I don't want my child to lack anything I missed. I felt a lack of time, so I will spend time with my child."
How do you plan to raise your child?
Nonnie: "Honestly, I have no plan. I've never had children. It's hard (laughs)."
If your mother sees this interview, what would you say?
Nonnie: "I now believe being a mother is very tiring (laughs). Even though the baby isn't born yet, I apologize for any mistakes I've made. I hope my child won't be as stubborn as me (laughs). She always says, ‘What you do to me, I'll watch.’ (laughs)"
How stubborn were you as a child?
Nonnie: "Everyone says I was a quiet stubborn kid who didn't talk or show feelings but didn't misbehave, making it hard to guess. My mother never hit me; she's very kind."
Did you start communicating better in your twenties?
Nonnie: "Yes, when I studied in England. Mom visited and stayed with me. When we went out, it felt like friends shopping, eating, and drinking together."
Did you ever have a serious fight with your mother? How long did the silence last?
Nonnie: "For months. I don't remember details. We just couldn't understand each other, and no one made up. Then suddenly we talked again. I didn't make up, nor did she. People say we have similar personalities. We didn't need to talk but knew we loved each other."
At six months pregnant, did you consult your mother?
Nonnie: "No. She said she forgot because it was 30 years ago. That was all she said, so I didn't continue. She said it was too long ago (laughs)."
You're facing severe health issues during pregnancy, including migraines?
Nonnie: "I developed migraines during pregnancy, never had them before. I saw doctors many times weekly but they couldn't provide clear answers. I can't take medicine or injections. Acupuncture helped and cured it."
Do you get acupuncture when migraine strikes?
Nonnie: "Yes. Now, I have neuropathy instead. Walking hurts near the pelvis. It's not disabling but painful, making me reluctant to walk."
Is it dangerous to force walking?
Nonnie: "It could worsen. I have placenta previa, and doctors advise against much walking. It's severe (laughs)."
What causes the neuropathy?
Nonnie: "Doctors don't know. Maybe the growing belly presses nerves. In the last 2–3 weeks, walking causes sharp pain that radiates."
How does your husband help?
A: "I'm not a doctor. I just take her to hospitals. Sometimes I want to help but can't because I don't know the cause. Doctors must decide."
Nonnie: "I've seen four doctors."
Do you need a wheelchair?
Nonnie: "No, I still like walking. A wheelchair would be inconvenient."
When the belly gets bigger, will that be a good option?
Nonnie: "I don't want a wheelchair. I want to walk. We'll see then."
Did doctors advise special care?
Nonnie: "No heavy work or exercise. Avoid strenuous activity. Driving hurts because tensing my feet triggers sharp pain."
Have you taken a break from work?
Nonnie: "I'm on leave."
Placenta previa affects you. What are the implications?
Nonnie: "Doctors said I must have a cesarean and avoid much walking. No natural birth planned because I'm scared (laughs). We'll wait for the baby's timing. We're not superstitious. We'll go with what's convenient. The cause? I believe ChatGPT might have the answer."
How prepared are you for delivery?
Nonnie: "Seeing is believing. Many say it's exhausting. We plan to raise the baby ourselves with help from A's mother."
Putt: "At first, we wanted to witness every stage and raise the child ourselves. But once home, my love said to hire a nanny or we'll fight (laughs)."
Nonnie: "My friends with kids of similar age don't plan to raise their own; they hire nannies from three months before birth and insist on it. We'll wait and adjust if needed."
Who chose the baby's name?
Nonnie: "We all helped. The baby has only one nickname. The real name is hard; grandma suggested but we rejected many options."
Did you help with the nickname?
A: "My name is A, mother's name is Ann, and the Non family names all start with A. So, the first name is Ai, which passed."
Nonnie: "I actually want two kids, preferably a boy. There are already many girls in the family."
A: "I'm fine with either girls or boys."
Anything you want to say to your husband?
Nonnie: "I want to say I love him every day. Sometimes I can be silly, sulky, moody, or angry, but I love him. He's the best man in my life."
What would you say to your wife?
A: "I love her always, unchanged, from the first day we met until the last day of my life."
Nonnie: "(Smiles sweetly and hugs her husband)"
