Charli D\u2019Amelio reveals how therapy is helping her \u201creally bad\u201d mental health struggles Instagram: charlidamelioTikTok queen Charli D\u2019Amelio has revealed that going to therapy has massively helped her after she suffered from mental health issues before and after she found fame online. It has been a huge year for Charli, having shot to internet stardom and hitting the milestone of 100 million followers, far surpassing her peers. Alongside her family, Charli has expanded beyond TikTok and into book-writing, brand deals, and podcasts. As the most popular creator on TikTok, it\u2019s unsurprising that the 16-year-old can sometimes feel the pressure, but it can be even harder having struggled long before she blew up on the world\u2019s fastest-growing social media platform. Charli has previously spoken out about her mental health and how such a large following can exacerbate existing feelings of anxiety. In an October livestream, she revealed that she is currently seeing a therapist, and earlier in 2020, she also spoke out about having an eating disorder. Speaking to her fellow creator and friend Avani Gregg on her new Facebook show \u201cHere For It,\u201d Charli spoke candidly about what it was like growing up and how she\u2019s found ways to cope. \u201cI used to have such bad panic attacks in the third grade,\u201d Charli said. \u201cThis is what happened and this is how it affected me up until literally three weeks ago. It hurt so bad I didn\u2019t want to talk about it\u2026I will cry for three days straight and I\u2019m not even Charli anymore.\u201d \u201cI\u2019m just this emotional person that doesn\u2019t function properly. And I get into these, like, really, really bad places, and it\u2019s scary for me. I\u2019m not myself, and I don\u2019t know what takes over, but it\u2019s just so much built up that I\u2019m trying to get out all at once, and it\u2019s really tough. Especially when you feel like everyone has an invitation to say anything about you.\u201d She emphasized how important it is to seek help, and that \u201cjust because you\u2019re happy sometimes\u201d doesn\u2019t mean your emotions are any less valid. Thankfully, the internet star said that she is getting the help she needs, adding that her therapy sessions are \u201cmaking a difference.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
