Camila Cabello Reveals How Cinderella Helped Her Overcome a 'Really Hard Time' With Mental Health
"Here's what there aren't pictures of from the last year: me crying in the car talking to my mom about how much anxiety and how many symptoms of OCD [obsessive-compulsive disorder] I was experiencing," the Grammy-nominated star wrote. "My mom and me in a hotel room reading books about OCD because I was desperate for relief. Me experiencing what felt like constant, unwavering, relentless anxiety that made day-to-day life painfully hard.
The "My Oh My" singer said she sought professional help and began cognitive behavioral therapy, meditation and breathwork. "It also took a lot of self-love , self-compassion and self-awareness ," she explained, adding, "For a long time, anxiety felt like it was robbing me of my humor, my joy, my creativity and my trust. But now anxiety and I are good friends."
She added, "I listen to her, because I know she's just trying to keep me safe, but I don't give her too much attention. And I sure as hell don't let her make any decisions."
