Reese Witherspoon is opening up. The 44-year-old Big Little Lies actress made an appearance on Jameela Jamil‘s I Weigh podcast on Friday (April 17).

During her appearance, Reese shared that she began therapy at 16. “I definitely had anxiety, my anxiety manifests as depression so I would get really depressed.

My brain is like a hamster on a wheel and it won’t come off. I’ve been managing it my entire life,” she said. “I’ve had three kids.

After each child I had a different experience. One kid I had kind of mild postpartum, and one kid I had severe postpartum where I had to take pretty heavy medication because I just wasn’t thinking straight at all.
