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
