Ryan Reynolds Opens up About, ‘Lifelong’ Struggle With Anxiety.
On May 26, Reynolds took to Instagram to
speak candidly about his struggle with anxiety.
The 44-year-old ‘Deadpool’
star made the post in
honor of Mental Health
Awareness Month. .
Reynolds said that his late post honoring the month was
a perfect example of how anxiety affects his life. .
One of the reasons I'm posting this so late is
I overschedule myself and important things
slip. And one of the reasons I overschedule
myself is my lifelong pal, anxiety, Ryan Reynolds, via Instagram.
He went on to
acknowledge
that he knows
he’s “not alone”
in the struggle. .
I know I'm not alone and more
importantly, to all those like me who
overschedule, overthink, overwork,
over-worry and over-everything,
please know you're not alone, Ryan Reynolds, via Instagram.
Reynolds ended his message by saying
mental health isn’t “talk[ed] enough about” and that
he hopes his post will help “destigmatize” it. .
We don't talk enough about mental health
and don't do enough to destigmatize
talking about it. But, as with this post,
better later than never, I hope.., Ryan Reynolds, via Instagram
