In an interview with The JED Foundation this year, Lindsey discussed her battle with an eating disorder in college. She admitted that she never viewed it as strange until her mom reached out, and she eventually went to therapy.
Lindsey, 32, also dealt with depression around the same time, and said in this Seize the Awkward video that her former roommate was the one to help her through depressive thoughts. During one instance, she went into her apartment bathroom, cut her hair, and cried. Lindsey's roommate put a hat on her head and immediately took her to get ice cream. "Having a safe place where I could talk about it with someone who was close to me, who looked beyond the symptoms, meant everything to me right then," she said.
