And people used to always tell me not to be so hard on myself, and I never really, really knew what that meant.” Barker explained that before she sought out help, she had been ”rage-filled, frustrated, angry,” and described “all this intergenerational trauma bundled up inside me. “I was carrying the weight of the world on my back,” she said. “And now, I’m at a point where I have a diagnosis, and I will talk to you about that at another time.

But I have a diagnosis, and I am relinquishing myself and forgiving myself and drawing a line in the sand. I can’t carry on the way that I’ve been carrying on.

I need to change. So, that’s what I’m trying to do.” The actress also thanked “Bridgerton” executive producer Shonda Rhimes for “saving” her, and said she was excited to get back to work on the hit Netflix show.
