She explained PEOPLE exclusively, “I realize, too, that just because I’ve been in a good place for six years and I’ve gotten myself to a much healthier mental state… I don’t think that I’m cured.” “I don’t think anybody’s forever cured but being aware of it, sharing it, talking about it -this is where I hope that the healing happens,” she added.
