Carly Pearce was on the latest episode of the “Dumb Blonde” podcast with Bunnie XO and revealed that she’s been fighting a lifelong battle with OCD (obsessive compulsive disorder). When the topic of her anxiety came up, Bunnie asked her when she first experienced it. “I would have told you three years ago my anxiety started during my divorce in Covid,” Pearce said. “But I’ve had crippling OCD since I was a child. So like, checking my backpack over and over and over, checking my alarm over and over and over. … And my mom would just try to calm me down, or I would freak out over storms. I remember her taking me to the local library to meet a meteorologist to try to calm that. I’ve had anxiety my whole life.” Pearce admitted it’s still a struggle, but having more time to herself during the pandemic made her decide it was time to work seriously on her mental health, at which point she sought out therapy.
