Alexa Bliss was recently interviewed by Sports Illustrated. This was in order to promote WWE’s upcoming series, Fight Like a Girl.
During the interview, Alexa spoke about her battle with mental illness throughout her life. She ended up explaining how these battles have led to her wearing a T-Shirt while wrestling.
Here is what she said:
“I take it day-by-day. Dealing with eating disorders, anxiety, and depression, I’m no stranger to mental illness. Every few years, I deal with a really bad spell of depression. You have to know it doesn’t have to overtake your life.
“Mental illness can dictate someone’s entire life. I put myself in a position to be in the public eye, but I’m doing what I love. I’ve gone to therapy, I’ve done everything I can do to get my brain in a healthy place.
“There are some things I still do—I still wear my t-shirt when I wrestle. One, it’s to promote merch because I think it’s cute, and two, because I’m always going to be that self-conscious person. But I don’t let it dictate my life like I used to.”
