Kristen Bell told 'Women's Health' about how she battles depression and anxiety.
Kristen Bell is continuing to champion for mental health, crediting CBD oil, an antidepressant and therapy to help her depression and anxiety.
Bell, 39, also dips into a “toolbox” she created with Dax Shepard, her husband since 2013, giving him a heads up when she’s sad, so he won’t personalize her mood. And she takes advice from his AA meetings. “You just have to do the next right thing. You just stand up. That’s the next right thing. Then you brush your teeth. That’s the next right thing. It’s very one-step-at-a-time,” Bell told Women’s Health. .
During a 2016 interview with Off Camera with Sam Jones, Bell revealed little-known details about herself. “I’m extremely co-dependent. I shatter a little bit when I think people don’t like me,” she said. “That's part of why I lead with kindness and I compensate by being very bubbly all the time because it really hurts my feelings when I know I'm not liked. And I know that's not very healthy and I fight it all the time.
As for the medication Bell has taken since a young age, she told Jones,"I have no shame in that because my mom had said to me, 'If you start to feel this way, talk to your doctor, talk to a psychologist, see how you want to help yourself, and if you do decide to go on a prescription to help yourself, understand that the world wants to shame you for that, but in the medical community, you would never deny a diabetic his insulin, ever.
