Camila Cabello opens up about living with obsessive compulsive disorder...
Intro: This episode is brought to you by Secret Active. New Secret Active provides protection in the moments when it matters most.
Camila is using her platform to remind us that there shouldn’t be such a stigma around mental illness…
Camila recently opened up to Cosmopolitan UK, speaking about everything from how much she loves Taylor Swift--who she’s about to go on tour with, BTW -- to how she deals with living with obsessive compulsive disorder, commonly referred to as OCD.
She told the mag of the disorder QUOTE, “OCD is weird. I laugh about it now. Everybody has different ways of handling stress...And, for me, if I get really stressed about something, I’ll start to have the same thought over and over again, and no matter how many times I get to the resolution, I feel like something bad is about to happen if I don’t keep thinking about it...I didn’t know what it was and when I found out, and [learned] how to step back from it, it made me feel so much better. I feel so much more in control of it now. To the point where I’m just like, ‘Aha! OK, this is just my OCD.’ I’ll ask my mum a question for the fourth time and she’ll be like, ‘That’s OCD. You’ve got to let it go.’”
Camila also previously spoke to Latina Magazine earlier this year about her OCD, and how it’s helped her realize why the stigma society STILL has around mental health is so wrong. She said QUOTE, “I totally understand now, being in it, why there shouldn’t be such a stigma on mental illness, because it’s a pretty common thing for people...But you can get help. If you’re dedicated to making it better, you can — because I’m in a much better place now.”
Camila also explained that educating herself on the disorder was a huge help in coping wit hit, as she told Latina mag QUOTE, “I started reading books about it and it really helped a lot when I understood [the illness], and that [the thoughts I was having] weren’t real. Sometimes you have to remind yourself to slow down and take care of yourself.”
Camila has also been open about her struggles with anxiety, which is another reason why she’s such an advocate for self-care.
It’s so great that Camila is using her platform to let people know that struggling with a mental illness is not anything anyone should be ashamed of, and that there IS help out there for those who may be dealing with similar issues.
As for what’s coming up for Camila, she’s obviously about to join Taylor Swift for her worldwide Reputation tour. Camila told Cosmo UK of her and the “Delicate” crooner’s friendship QUOTE, “I love her. We just talk about boys...She loves love, and we love talking about it. It’s fun to just vent and talk and dream.”
