Your celebrity BFF Jennifer Lawrence is pretty effing fearless, especially when it comes to talking about her battle with anxiety. Like many others who grapple with it, Lawrence began dealing with anxiety as a teen. At first, she didn’t know what it was.
“When I started school, the light went out. It was never known what it was, a kind of social anxiety,” she told Madame Figaro. She finally went to a therapist who gave her prescription medication.
For Lawrence, the combination of therapy and medication has helped her deal with the stress of being a public figure. “I find a certain peace by thinking of me in public as sort of an avatar self. You out there can have the avatar me. I can keep me. And I just try to acknowledge that this scrutiny is stressful, and that anyone would find it stressful,” she recently told the New York Times.
