And then my mind started telling my body, ‘Yeah, something is wrong.'”

The actress has been open about thephysical and emotional abuse she facedin the past.

Through therapy, she realized her issues resulted from the underlying trauma she hadn’t yet faced head-on.

“It’s not about the food.

The food is the symptom,” she said in the new interview.

She also still has “a lot of conversations” with her therapist.

“I’m so grateful that I have access to healthcare,” Metz toldVerywell Mind.

“When you get off-kilter, the pendulum swings too far.

You have to come back,” she said.
