wmagazine.com/story/lili-reinhart-riverdale-betty-cooper-anxiety-fame “I didn’t have a car, so I was spending $500 Ubering everywhere,” she said. “I remember looking at my bank account and seeing all of this money that I had saved acting over the course of many years just gone. I had so much anxiety booking work, and I spent almost five months holed up in this bedroom in this house just feeling anxious, waiting for my next audition, and not doing anything else. It was the most miserable time of my life.”
Driven to get a side job working at a family-style restaurant on Universal City Walk to support her burgeoning career, it was then that Reinhart suffered what she calls “the worst panic attack of my life.”
“I had had to quit a few jobs in North Carolina because of how anxious they made me. My anxiety was so bad that I had to keep quitting jobs because I physically could not work,” she explained. “But I knew I needed to make money, so I got the job and the women there was like, ‘You need to go find a black button-up shirt and slipless shoes.’” Still sans car, Reinhart booked an Uber to purchase them, but turned up empty-handed after visiting shop after shop. “I threw up in my Uber because, one, I was carsick, and two, I was having a panic attack," she said. "I get home, lock the door in my room, immediately Skype my mom and said, 'Mom, I’m not okay.' I had to get a brown paper bag and breathe into it, which felt so dramatic, but I really could not breathe. I felt like my world was crashing. I didn’t want to admit defeat, but I was like, ‘I need to come home. My mental health is suffering, and it is making me physically ill.’”
Back home, Reinhart began seeing a therapist she had previously visited before moving out West. “She really helped me build myself back up again,” she said.

I'm sure that helped her mental health...

I have that same thing when I work. It is fucking uneventful.

>weak person cant even work jobs the borderline retarded can.
I give a fuck, why?
Gabriel Garcia
>ywn cuddle her and help her through her panic attacks
Just shoot me in the back of the head and be done with it
Cameron Harris
is it because he abuses her?
Wyatt Hill
who cares, she need to release a sex tape or do porn
Nathaniel Martin
Try having anxiety when your ugly ans cant leave the house to do a poncy photoshoot you priveledged little cunt
Elijah Thomas
I knew another white girl like this. She wouldn't come into work because she was suffering from so much anxiety.
Happens. Glad she managed to power through it.
Jayden Hall
Guess that's why she's able to play Betty so convincingly.
Anyways, anyone seen the new trailer? They are really good at not giving shit away. GoT trailers damn near give the entire season away.

Everyone that have lived around niggers knows that they are the worst. They are like a virus - destroying every society they are in.
Andrew Harris
so why was she anxious about?
Gabriel Taylor
>and I spent almost five months holed up in this bedroom in this house just feeling anxious
The vagueness of this caught my attention. "This bedroom,This house."
What house do you think this was? Who owned it? Who let her stay there for 5 months while she was supposedly broke from Uber rides?
Angel Roberts
fuck she's sexy who dis
Jacob Smith

Prove me wrong.
Isaiah Russell
The wording makes it sound like it clearly wasn't home.
When did we turn into armchair psychiatrists?
Nathan Garcia
lol fucking pathetic. basically:
>i'm homesick, can't book acting work and now i'm being asked to do actual physical work >have panic attack
how come she never has anxiety acting in front of large groups of people every day? or always being surrounded by fans?
funny how anxiety magically goes away when she gets on a TV show
Jack Johnson

You can't be that stupid, user.

Who is she fucking? I doubt the Sprouse twin has that kind of pulls.
Ryan Nelson
The CW are probably paying for it. They were trying to push Madelaine last season, clearly it's Lili's turn considering how they're advertising the new season.
Mason Powell
why didn't she sell her dirty underwear on reddit
Jonathan Jackson
Lmao how is anxiety even real, just take xanax or something
Caleb Harris
When was that? The redhead has always gone to events yet she never gets that much of attention like Lili.
Jaxson Parker
>Who is she fucking? >What is promotion >What is PR She's on a relatively popular tv show, this is all part of the deal dude
Carter Parker
Or maybe she's the most popular girl in the most popular tv show right now?
Nicholas Peterson
>tfw you suffer panic attacks and agoraphobia too
Aiden Davis
Last season, she was the one getting all the magazine shots and event invites. Lili and Camila were just getting group invites for the cast.

Hey man mental health is no joke. This stigmatizing needs to stop.
As someone with Bipolar II and Atypical Depression I applaud her.
Bentley Garcia
>tfw no betty qt but sometimes femdom gf ;_;
Anthony Morgan
Because your response was to run around like a headless chicken after the event. She contacted someone, got them to talk her through it, then realised she should see a therapist. I went through the same thing, shat myself at first, then tried to work out what caused it, and realised I needed some kind of help.

Was his name actually Chad?

Whoever he was he was just being himself.

Idk man but he was a football player too.

What's going to happen if they break up? Isn't that going to make filming the show really awkward?
Aaron Price

Parker Carter
the interview literally disproves both of your points, did you even read it?
Wyatt Diaz
>money = happiness
nigga the message of almost every other fucking movie is that money doesn't buy happiness, you learn this shit by age 4 ffs
Logan Wilson
no, I just saw a picture of a white woman, "acting", and "anxiety" and I got upset
Grayson Taylor
It's just another PR campaign to make a beautiful actress seem likable to fat, ugly girls.
Alexander Stewart

Is this true in America?

Angel Moore

Gabriel Harris
yes. middle class are the liberal vanguard for the rich
James Price
>message of almost every other fucking movie is
Holy shit. You actually take Hollywood propaganda seriously.
>money doesn't buy happiness
Prove it, dummy. Give me all of your money. Do it. Do it now.
Owen Cook
Money buys the feeling of being secure and content. For a lot, that's much better than being """"happy""""
Grayson Gutierrez
No. They just have a little more money than the people below them.
Jacob Roberts
If you don't realize that the saying is right then you are truly ignorant of the world. Having money is infinitely better than not having it, but if you are truly unhappy no amount of money will fix it.
Parker Rodriguez
>you could have saved her >you didn't
Hunter Wilson
Stop posting this bitch! The more I see her the more I fall in love. I don't even watch her show.
Oliver Edwards
yup, this is your average "middle class" house in america. in the rest of the world middle class families can only afford an apartment
Carter Carter
I can empathise with her, have suffered through anxiety and panic attacks for years.
For the Americans saying, "Why doesn't she just take X drug?" They don't help anything, really.
It blows my mind how nonchalant Americans are when it comes to taking opioids, they are incredibly addictive and damaging and people just pass them off as nothing to worry about. Amazing what pharmaceutical lobbying and advertising can do to a country.
Leo Hill
90% of the people here are either underage retarded neckbeard edgelords, or adult retarded neckbeard edgelords. It's a very good thing that she's being so open about it, the more famous people talk about mental health issues the better
Juan Cook
>I applaud her almost agreed with your post, luckily for me you outed yourself as reddit
Elijah Lee
She's being open about since the very start but people only see her as a pretty white girl.
Jackson Sullivan
I'm broke, pal. Sure, being rich would make life easier for me, but it wouldn't suddenly remove all the things that make me unhappy.
Your mentality is the same as people who think a movie having a big budget will mean that it's going to be good. Sure, it'll probably look nicer, but that's just surface level shit that shouldn't be what the quality of the film as a whole is based on
Josiah Kelly
no shit you fucking retard
Jose Scott
maybe it's just that we don't suffer from the same kind of anxiety but I just don't feel her words. I've never been able to have a decent social life or communicate with people properly, always had a hard time leaving my house and this girl seems pretty outgoing and friendly, obviously having no real problem to work, act, go to events and shit
Camden Collins
happiness is not a thing you find, you're either born with it or without it, at least for most people this is the case. for a permanently bitter and miserable person being rich is infinitely better than being poor
Chase Flores
Have you ever forced yourself into social situations? Throwing yourself in the deep end of the pool in a way? I found that's actually helped me with my anxiety
Christian Sanchez
It depends on the people I guess. She admits she gets annoyed easily by people, hated school, a homebody but tries to be out there.
She's dating a twink? These are dark times my friends.
Luke Nguyen
I was there.
Jack Brooks
R-read her all of interviews.
Bentley Moore
Expecting everybody to be the same as you is really naive, as is not recognizing the fact that the general public probably sees like 5% of her life tops. I've had anxiety, mild OCD, and some specific phobias my entire life, and yet nobody has ever known unless I tell them because I hide it. My brother was suicidally depressed through his teens and I had no fucking clue until he told me when we were older. We're all pretty good at hiding parts of ourselves that we don't want others to see.
Easton Turner
tried a bunch of times and it's what my family tells me I should do but every time I go out I sweat like a motherfucker and feel like all the muscles on my body are tight as fuck all because of the feeling that I'm continuously being judged and that I give a bad image, I really feel uncomfortable out there talking with people and when I go back home I just fall asleep exhausted because of how tense I've been for hours. going to class everyday is a nightmare
Mason Nguyen
then I guess its about me being bad at faking it. still I've met quite a few people with similar issues and so much worse lives than mine and none of them gave me the happy vibes this girl gives, again she's a celeb and an actress so that should be the reason
Jeremiah Ward
I think you're assuming way too much about her based on modeling photos and acting performances. Even if you've seen interviews or something, she still isn't going to actually be herself. I think you must be right about faking it. Many people I've known with mental health issues were good at faking it, but some weren't and it was always obvious. Everybody's different.
Brandon Richardson
Is it situations with people that know you, or people that will see you again? Because knowing that I'm never seeing people again helps me. Fuck, I managed to go to a fetish meet up once and made a complete ass of myself, but was completely happy since I knew I was never seeing these people ever again
Liam Thomas
They generally don't prescribe opiates for anxiety.

Julian Myers
How can anybody actually think that chick is hotter than Lili? I mean look at her face....obviously I'd still fuck her because my standards aren't that high, but I just don't see it. She seems very blah to me.
Nathan Collins
Some are into her "exotic" look.
Connor Brown
don't get me wrong, I'm not good at faking it but I don't flaunt it either, it's not like a have a social life to do that anyway, I don't even go on social sites like twitter or facebook, can't even look at myself in the mirror sometimes or take selfies of myself which is what I see people my age doing all the time. only attention I get is talking about this in Sup Forums once every few months. btw I know there's probably so much more to Lili's problem but it's so alien to me that a celeb that goes to events and films a show around so many people, still looking confident and at peace, could have gone through anxiety issues. just my honest opinion, I don't doubt her statements mostly with people I don't know at all, I get really paranoid around them like they're looking at me all the time when I'm walking wherever. I know it's just stuff my mind makes up but it's such a strong feeling I can't get rid of
Parker Clark
You were saying?
Ayden Evans
I get what you're saying but like I said before, everybody is different and you can't expect everyone's experience of anxiety or depression or whatever it may be, to be the same as your experience of it. As I've gotten older I've realized that way more people deal with this stuff than it seems. Never think you know somebody or what their life is like just based on their public persona. You should see a doc if you haven't. My brother I mentioned before, who was suicidally depressed, finally saw a psychiatrist who was able to find him medication that works and refer him to a cognitive therapist for him to talk to about him mental health and who was really able to help him work through some shit and figure some things out about himself, all of which has improved his life drastically. He's no longer suicidal, no longer feels like a sociopath who doesn't feel anything or care about anything. He's really happy loving his life and pursuing a career he's passionate about. Anyway, my point is just that seeking help for your problems can literally change your life. Don't put it off.
