she was pretty hot too before making her get a lesbo haircut

[@JTR253]

@@BigB0ss00 you have been CANCELED. You hater of LGBTQ+ But yeah she was hotter. Almost all women are with longer hair. I know that long hair is a PITA but shoulder length hair shouldn't be that hard to take care of. FYI for women, men don't pay microscopic attention to your hair for you to have it perfect all the time.

Oh, that role may well help her big time, come to think of it; not everything she's gotten into on that, but rather that specific bond altogether.

I love that Chyler is advocating for comprehensive conversation about mental health and partnering with an organization that provides resource and information. 👏👏 advocacy and resources go hand and hand. Love her for this open honestly too💙

"I wasn't given room to speak, about how I was feeling " and being put "in a position of strength that I didn't necessarily have" at around the same age as Chyler. Oh boy, I know how that feels. No wonder there is such depth of feelings in her portrayals. Good luck Chyler. All strength to you.

She's so beautiful. I think she has such a strong soul to be open and advocating for herself and for others shamelessly and bringing awareness to the disorder and sharing with others there is hope out there as well as resources and support systems within arms reach.

I can relate to this so much in the way that you to take care of everyone- my mum has bipolar and it’s constantly effecting everyone around me (espically because she is in denial) and since I deal with things in a much more isolated way everything kinda falls on me, I’m my mum’s emotional support, my younger brothers keeper and I’m constantly suffering from my dads hero complex.

[@LeenaSregneva]

She’s so strong 💙 it’s so amazing of her to educate others and share her story

[@Noa......]

Awesome. Both Melissa Benoist and Chyler Leigh are real life strong female heroes. Having the courage to voice their experience. It is not easy to admit to one's past, one's addiction, one's hardships, one's mental health background. Indeed, mental health is strongly correlated to addiction, as evident in her life. From drug/sustance to behaviour addiction in religious faith. It is not about the "downs." But how you cope and use your voice. We, as females and males, should stand firm and be strong.

[@myessyallyahamericus8405]

pain is the primary source of wisdom in life. wisdom is not fun. but luck is better then wisdom when it comes to learning but wisdom comes to all who survive trauma, not that trauma ever ends but surviving through it regardless as long as you can hold on.

[@iainbeech5879]

Chyler has definitely been through the wars , from Cocaine drug addition from 2001 to 2002, being clean since then, to being diagnosed with bipolar disorder in 2009 and then having to battle herself through COVID in 2020 and to recover from this...Chyler earns my deep respect for someone who has struggled, battled her way through and recovered, she has also managed to keep her family together having been married in 2002 and having three children in 2003, 2006 and 2009, she is may have played Alex Danvers in "Supergirl" but Chyler is her own superhero in her own right and definitely earns this!!

[@fturla___156]

If you can tolerate bipolar from individuals around then you also know how much effort to understand the situation. Don't think that if someone has that diagnosis that they can have an excuse to harm people because of it. It's best to recognize that mental portion as part of their character long term and handle the situation that way.

[@Marie-ve2ml]

The one thing I would tell someone who has a family member who comes to them with mental illness or emotions they are feeling is to not invalidate their feelings.....For me, I would always open up to a specific family member, and she would always make me feel like I shouldn't be feeling the way I was feeling...She would say, don't be sad about this, just be positive, just be grateful that you have other things like family and friends.....It's important to Validate other people's feelings and say it's ok that you are feeling this way, you are allowed to feel wathever you are feeling.....Otherwise, it makes you feel guilty for having those feelings, you will suppress them, but they'll always come back later if you don't aknowledge them! You are allowed to feel what you are feeling!

I wonder if that is part of the reason why she left Grey's Anatomy back in 2012. Ellen Pompeo, who plays Meredith Grey, never talks about her sister, Lexi Grey, who is Chyler, whose character died in a plane crash, on the show since. Nor she Lexi to her new found sister or her own children... since 2012. I always thought it was strange..

[@chissstardestroyer]

I'm not to be even remotely aware of her personal crosses, but I hope she does well in regard to that serious cross to bear. But also, psychatric diagnoses are not that easy even for a really highly qualified psychiatrist to carry out, and why? Because they have to interrogate the patent and come to the conclusion based on what they're told, and often they may well goof up, or be mislead by accident by the patient- it's a very "iffy science", not because it's "foggy" but because they don't have a good way to measure this cross in people's lives. I really do wish her the best in regard to her personal crosses in regard to that profound glitch in her psyche that that software error set does serve as, and in regard to her roles' behavior as an actress, I really do hope and pray she'll only accept performing scenes that're morally acceptable- a lot that actors and actresses are currently expected to do is flat-out gross, if not completely immoral at the core, especially regarding the bedroom on film (which should never ever happen), and I really would prefer to have the legion of decency come back into action in regard to protecting these performers.
