“I was talking about some dark stuff that I was thinking and feeling,” Christina explained, via Deadline. “I feel like when we hold things in we give them power. I also think that there’s so much shame a lot of people feel when they’re going through mental health issues … and when people holds those in, because they’re so afraid to say how they truly feel, we give it immense power.”
She opined that it was “incredibly healing and important to be able to express the thoughts,” adding that it didn’t matter if others were “uncomfortable.”
“And, no, I’m not sitting here on suicide watch, OK? I am not. Nor have I ever been,” she added.
Christina continued, saying, “I dare anyone to be diagnosed with MS or any kind of chronic illness that has taken who you were prior to that moment and go, ‘This is great.’ You know? No, you have moments of feeling, ‘This is tiring and I don’t want to do this.’ But you do it, and by having friends like you and my beautiful friends that I have saying this sh*t out loud it releases the pressure in the balloon.”
