Christina Perri on Keeping a Support System

Christina has been open in the past about mental health struggles that she experienced from a very young age. She told The Mighty in 2017 that her first suicidal thoughts came when she was 8 years old. She also battled anxiety, depression, and addiction.

Christina, now 33, shares in this video that she's been in and out of therapy for 25 years, which has helped her grow as a person. Having candid conversations with her friends in their group chat also helps. "We're all over America, but we check in with each other every single day," she said. "Every single time I've had a really serious issue, someone has reached out to me individually and either said, 'Me too,' or really just shown me that they were there for me."
