Kristen Bell has opened up about her struggle with anxiety and depression.
In an interview with Off Camera with Sam Jones, the 35-year-old actress admitted that anxiety and depression run in her family and she has struggled with both from a young age.
“I shatter a little bit when I think people don’t like me. That’s part of why I lead with kindness and I compensate by being very bubbly all the time because it really hurts my feelings when I know I’m not liked.”
The mother of two said that she was popular in high school, but she still always felt anxious on the inside and always had to mould her interests around what her classmates were interested in.
Despite the stigma associated with mental illness, Bell said she’s not ashamed to ask for help when she needs it and takes medication for her anxiety and depression.
