Camila Cabello expressed about her worst mental-health state ever and how she overcame it

In an interview with an online portal, Cabello described it as "the worst mental-health state ever."

"I was cripplingly anxious and was in the worst mental health state ever," she said as per PEOPLE. "And then I took a break at the beginning of the pandemic. I started doing therapy [and] trying to feel better." However, for Cabello, receiving assistance meant being loyal to herself at all costs. "For me, it was if this process doesn't help me in feeling better, and if it's not me being honest and vulnerable and unfiltered, I don't really see how this is going to happen," she says. "That was my intention, was just to be myself, whatever that looked like at the time."

For the unversed, Cabello and her boyfriend of two years, singer Shawn Mendes, broke up in November. It's unclear whether her new album will address their past relationship. Though Cabello did not specify specific personal situations she would discuss, fortunately for the actress, her healing efforts have paid off, as she claims to feel "amazing now."

"Familia" is set for release Friday.
