Just when we thought we couldn’t love Riverdale’s Madelaine Petsch any more, she is out here destigmatizing therapy and getting candid about her own mental health and we are so here for it.
What’s up? It’s Emile Ennis Jr. here with Clevver News and Madelaine Petsch revealed she struggled with panic attacks before landing the role of Cheryl Blossom on “Riverdale.”
For her Nylon Magazine August cover story, Madelaine opened up about how therapy has helped her work through her anxiety.
She said quote, “Talk about stigma, dude. I mean, I didn’t even know what it was, but I used to get really bad panic attacks right before I booked Riverdale. Then, I started getting really bad social anxiety, and I only was able to hone in on what those things are and work through them with therapy.”
If she’s having a bad day, Madelaine told Nylon that she will turn to her Riverdale co-star, Cami Mendes, for support.
“Mental health is incredibly important to me, and I’m so happy that I’m part of a group of women with the cast that all speak so vocally about it. If I’m having a bad day and I’m feeling like my anxiety is through the roof, I will call Cami, and I will go to her place, and we’ll eat dried apricots and talk about all of my problems until I have vented it out.”
And this isn’t the first time Madelaine has opened up about her anxiety.
In case you only know her from Riverdale, she also has a YouTube channel with over 4.6 million subscribers, where she often gets real with her fans.
On her channel she has talked about how much therapy has helped her over the past 6 months.
And Madelaine opening up about her mental health has inspired others to share what helps them cope…
And for many of Madelaine’s fans, it’s her content.
One person tweeted quote, “Tomorrow i have an exam at school, the hardest one for me!! And thanks to my anxiety attacks i am struggling right now, but like always when my anxiety is on fire i watch videos and photos of @madelainepetsch and @VanessaMorgan and for real.. thank u for existing! I love you”
And another person tweeted saying quote, “I have anxiety and I try to do my best to feel good, but when Riverdale came into my life, it has improved my days and I feel happy to be a fan of all @lilireinhart @CamilaMendes @colesprouse @kj_apa @madelainepetsch @VanessaMorgan”
And I think for Madelaine’s fans, it’s so important that she is sharing her struggles for them to see that no one’s life is perfect and it’s ok to talk about it.
But I want to know what you guys think.
