Dixie D'Amelio Opens Up About Her Struggles With Anger

In the revealing podcast episode, Dixie D'Amelio explained that she tries not to speak much about personal things going on in her life so as to avoid harsh criticism — but she fears how this cold exterior has been perceived. "I hate how it comes across," she said, "because I don't mean for it to be that way."

In a surprising confession, Dixie revealed that she has undisclosed health issues, which result in struggles with "explosions of emotions," including "outbursts of anger, and emotion, and talk[ing] without thinking." The influencer continued, saying these issues make her hesitant to fully share herself with her online followers, and that she also feels guilty for the "opportunities" that have come her way. These emotional and mental struggles have led her to feeling "guilty for being alive" and forced her to wonder if she "would be doing people a favor if [she] wasn't here." 

Dixie also shared that she takes medication to deal with these issues, and is continually undergoing "a lot of tests" to further understand why she feels this way. Charli further revealed that she, too, started medication to treat "mood swings," and now takes regular breaks from social media to "focus on [herself]" and "get back to [a] mental state where [she] was so happy."

Hopefully, both sisters can find a healthy balance for managing their fame their health struggles.
