Celebrities seem to have it all, from fame to fortune to good looks, but that doesn’t mean they don’t struggle with their own issues. Selena Gomez, Ryan Reynolds, and Beyoncé are among the celebs who have been open about living with mental health conditions. The topic has become a bigger conversation in the past couple of years, and Abigail Spencer is contributing to that conversation.
On the “Grey’s Anatomy” star’s 41st birthday, she opened up about her struggles with her mental health. Spencer revealed on Instagram she participated in the wellness retreat program called OnSite. According to the company’s website, OnSite helps people with their “mental health journey by providing top-tier clinical care and transformative, healing hospitality.” The “Mad Men” actor shared that this changed her life, and she went into her 40th year with excitement, but it didn’t come without struggle. She wrote, “August 4th 2021, I moved into the hardest year of my life. It almost killed me, and if I hadn’t been in training for my mind, body & spirit for & surrounded myself with the most incredible community of friends & healers, I do not believe I would have survived it.” Stress and anxiety ate at Spencer, and it had gotten so bad that the actor believed she had experienced a heart attack. Luckily, the actor received the proper care, and it appears she is in a much better place.
