Earle has also opened up about her mental health journey and offered candid insight for fans navigating similar struggles. During a YouTube vlog, the influencer responded to a fan who admitted they deal with anxiety but feel hesitant about starting medication. Instead of dodging the topic, Earle shared her own experience.
“What I did do was go on medication. … I’ve been on 10 milligrams of Lexapro since [I was] 14,” Earle said. “I was so reluctant to do it at first. I was like, ‘There’s no way, I don’t need that.’ But it really did help me.”
Earle also acknowledged that the decision isn’t always easy, noting the stigma that can sometimes surround mental health treatment. “Taking medication can feel really scary, and there feels like there’s like a stigma around it at times,” Earle added. “I am in favor of it, but I’m also not a doctor, so I’m not going to really tell you what to do,” she concluded.
Earle Opens Up About Panic Attacks
@alixearle Hope this helps anyone who struggles with anxiety 🫶🏼
She has also spoken honestly about experiencing a panic attack while attending the U.S. Open in New York City.
“I had a little panic attack which I really haven’t had in a while,” she said in a video in 2023. “I’m literally on the floor of the bathroom in the suite. I thought I was going to go home, I thought I was going to have to call 911, I felt like I couldn’t breathe.”
“No. 1, and I know this is super hard, but I like to tell someone that I don’t feel good, that I’m having anxiety,” she added. “For example, here I’m with my friend Christian. I was like ‘Christian, I’m having really bad anxiety right now. We need to go to the bathroom.”
“It helps to have someone there, you know, that if something does happen to you they’ll be be able to get help or do something,” she continued.
