Ruby Barker is taking time to focus on her mental health, and hopes that being transparent about her mental health will help others who are struggling.
The Bridgerton actress, 25, took to Instagram this past Thursday to share that she had been receiving treatment, explaining she has “been really unwell for a really long time.”
Barker shared this message with her fans from the hospital where she is currently receiving treatment after receiving an undisclosed diagnosis after a long-term battle. Despite dealing with “rage-filled, frustrated, angry” emotions before seeking help, Ruby reveals that she is now in a much better space:
“And now, I’m at a point where I have a diagnosis, and I will talk to you about that at another time. But I have a diagnosis, and I am relinquishing myself and forgiving myself and drawing a line in the sand. I can’t carry on the way that I’ve been carrying on. I need to change. So, that’s what I’m trying to do.”
Barker added, “And I want to encourage others, if you are struggling, please do yourself a favor. Take a break, stop being so hard on yourself. And people used to always tell me not to be so hard on myself, and I never really, really knew what that meant.”
