The 32-year-old actress shared her battle with anxiety with her Instagram followers, as she admitted she felt like she was "going to melt"
26 February 2021
Posting on her Instagram story, she explained: "I get nauseous and my heart won’t slow down. It sometimes feels like a force so much bigger than me has taken over the control panel in my brain ... I have to catch myself when I find myself focusing on just wishing it was somehow different. So here I am, sitting here feeling like I’m gonna melt, even though I know I won’t and just trying to lean into the discomfort as scary and painful as that is."
Meanwhile, Rumer previously admitted she has "worked tirelessly" to love herself.
The 'Once Upon a Time ... in Hollywood' star shared: "I have worked tirelessly since I was a young girl to love myself, love my body, my face. To not allow the negative commentary from others about how I look to affect the value I hold for myself. This is my version of healing. I was saddened yesterday by the amount of comments I saw yesterday that really missed the point of what I wanted to share. This is not about sex, it’s not about staying relevant or garnering attention. I truly could care less about those things and to be perfectly honest I don’t have the time or energy to waste on that bulls*** ... It felt like this was about putting myself, with all my own personally perceived flaws or things I feel insecure about and be willing to show up vulnerably and authentically. To share my journey with it and practice what I share by putting myself out there which is very scary for me after so many years of being shamed and judged and ridiculed for how I look. Having my self esteem decimated as a teen by bloggers and anonymous commenters spewing negativing and hate in my direction. (sic)"
