Cardi B Reveals She's Suffering From Anxiety: 'It's Kicking My A**'

Cardi B has let fans in on her personal struggles.

On Monday (February 4), the "Money rapper got real about her mental health tweeting: "Anxiety is kicking my a** right now." The candid tweet sparked thousands of reactions online from fans and celebrities alike who responded with words of affirmation and stories of their own struggles with anxiety.

"You got this. Just exist. You’ll come out the other side I promise," comedian Sarah Silverman tweeted in response to Cardi's tweet. Missy Elliott also replied on Twitter, writing, "Many people deal with this... i am one... it’s real." And after a fan noted that "People have no idea the things artists go through behind the scenes," Missy added: "Yes it is a lot and I have things that trigger mines...it’s scary at times."

While Cardi has yet to respond to Missy's or Sarah's words of encouragement, she did reply to a fan's suggestion of weed as a coping mechanism for her anxiety. "That will give more anxiety and make me very very paranoid," she admitted.

It's not the first time Cardi has opened up about her personal struggles. Back in November, the "Twerk" rapper admitted that she was "depressed" about her post-baby body , saying she felt like she had become too thin. "I’ve been very depressed because I cannot stop losing weight," Cardi said on her Instagram Live . "And it’s so crazy because when I first gave birth, I did everything to lose my baby weight. I was drinking Teami [tea, a weight loss tea] so it could curb my appetite and now that I lost all the baby weight... I don’t like looking too skinny."

"I used to look too skinny as a teenager and I used to hate it and I hate it now," she continued. "It’s been really depressing me, making me sad. My weight... Sh*t is so stressful, not having no appetite at all.... I’m really trying to gain weight, y’all, and it’s been hard and I don’t know how," the first-time mom, who welcomed her daughter Kulture in July, admitted. "After I gave birth, I was so thirsty to lose all the baby weight, and now it’s so hard for me to gain weight, and I hate it. Then my parents … the more they force me to eat, the more I don’t want to eat."
