'It’s okay to not be okay. And it’s incredibly important to reach out. Be willing to let your guard down a little bit to be able to find that community.'

Leigh opened up about herduring a social media and mental health panel moderated by Sade Strehlke, R29's director of health and wellness.

While the actor says she's in a good place now, Leigh acknowledges that she went through a difficult journey to get where she is today, including personal struggles with her family. "During that point, right before I was diagnosed, I was like, ‘I’m drowning, I’m drowning,'" she recalls."[They] made me feel nothing, and that to me was more important than feeling happy or feeling sad,” she says. “But, that being the case, I withdrew and I shut down. Having such little kids and my husband who [was] dealing with so much with that, I just didn’t know how else to function. And so I lied about a lot, I hid a lot. I kept to myself.
