Chyler Leigh of CW’s “Supergirl” is opening up about her bipolar diagnosis and mental health journey for the first time as she partners with Be Vocal: Speak Up for Mental Health, an initiative that encourages people across America to speak up and advocate for mental health. Chyler told Access Hollywood that it took her nearly a decade to feel comfortable talking about her mental health journey in public, but she wants to encourage others to speak out and know that they’re not alone. Plus, the actress reveals that there are certain parts of her “uniqueness” that help her dig into her emotions on the set of “Supergirl” in order to continue her incredible performance as Alex Danvers.

Luv ya Chyler... you're LITERALLY amazing!! Especially since I'm such a big fan of Supergirl and the Arrowverse!! (Btw, on that note, just wanted to say that I can't say that for the latter half of Crisis on Infinite Earths!!! Still have a bit of catching up to do but I'll be sure to keep an eye for u personally!!! 😜😜😜😘😘😘). Finally, in conclusion, just wanted to say that your husband, Nathan, your kids, the rest of your fam, and your friends are INCREDIBLY lucky to have u in their life!!!

Awesome. Both Melissa Benoist and Chyler Leigh are real life strong female heroes. Having the courage to voice their experience. It is not easy to admit to one's past, one's addiction, one's hardships, one's mental health background. Indeed, mental health is strongly correlated to addiction, as evident in her life. From drug/sustance to behaviour addiction in religious faith. It is not about the "downs." But how you cope and use your voice. We, as females and males, should stand firm and be strong.

Chyler has definitely been through the wars , from Cocaine drug addition from 2001 to 2002, being clean since then, to being diagnosed with bipolar disorder in 2009 and then having to battle herself through COVID in 2020 and to recover from this...Chyler earns my deep respect for someone who has struggled, battled her way through and recovered, she has also managed to keep her family together having been married in 2002 and having three children in 2003, 2006 and 2009, she is may have played Alex Danvers in "Supergirl" but Chyler is her own superhero in her own right and definitely earns this!!

The one thing I would tell someone who has a family member who comes to them with mental illness or emotions they are feeling is to not invalidate their feelings.....For me, I would always open up to a specific family member, and she would always make me feel like I shouldn't be feeling the way I was feeling...She would say, don't be sad about this, just be positive, just be grateful that you have other things like family and friends.....It's important to Validate other people's feelings and say it's ok that you are feeling this way, you are allowed to feel wathever you are feeling.....Otherwise, it makes you feel guilty for having those feelings, you will suppress them, but they'll always come back later if you don't aknowledge them! You are allowed to feel what you are feeling!

If you can tolerate bipolar from individuals around then you also know how much effort to understand the situation. Don't think that if someone has that diagnosis that they can have an excuse to harm people because of it. It's best to recognize that mental portion as part of their character long term and handle the situation that way.

Nor she Lexi to her new found sister or her own children... since 2012. I always thought it was strange..
