Willow Smith Comes To The Table And Opens Up About Her Anxiety

Willow Smith has opened up about her anxiety again on the latest episode of Red Table Talk.

Willow told her mother, Jada Pinket-Smith, and grandma Adrienne Banfield-Norris about what it’s like dealing with anxiety and how she feels when she’s overwhelmed.

“Four days ago, I was having extreme anxiety,” the 20-year-old said. “I couldn’t talk, I had to just cocoon and like be with myself for a moment.”

“That was so important because it would have been so much more intense if I had been looking to you to be like, ‘Help me!'” she said to her mother. “And then, when I was ready, I opened the cocoon.”

“There’s shame, there’s guilt, there’s sadness and confusion,” she continued. “And then you don’t even want to talk about it because you’re like, ‘I feel crazy, and I don’t want them to think I’m crazy so I’m just not gonna say anything.'”

Jada chimed in to say that “self-soothing is a miracle worker”.

Willow has previously spoken about her anxiety, revealing two years ago that after her hit song ‘Whip My Hair’ came out, she hit a low and started cutting herself.
