Man, I miss my parents, way too anxious, always cancel my plans.
Ive lost both of my parents.

And I just started learning that its okay to ask for help.
In hindsight, now I know that that was obviously anxiety.
But Ive had a tough two months.
I havent been myself, and my friends see it.
Im more sad than usual.
Im way more anxious than usual.
So Im not going to sit here and act like everythings perfect, she said.

Then I would uncurl and go onstage, and Id feel fine.
Which occurred to me at the time: Like, Oh, you feel fine when youre out here.

Fish has since retired from tennis and says that anxiety is no longer an enemy.
Its not something that will go away for good, but I have really good days almost every day.
Finding the strength to come forward about those things is not easy.
But maybe, by telling my story, I can help someone else going through tough times.
My brain felt like …

Amanda Seyfried, Actress
Yeah.
Ive been on it since I was 19, so 11 years.
Im on the lowest dose.
Whether its placebo or not, I dont want to risk it.
