Story

Helen Flanagan was scared that her mental health struggles might harm her career. She felt like she was in danger and saw things after a bad reaction to her ADHD medication. This made her feel unsafe all the time. She decided to prioritize her well-being and family over her acting role in a theater show. Helen shared her challenges openly in March, explaining that she was emotionally struggling due to her breakup and being a single working mom. She felt unwell during Christmas and New Year's, even when she took her kids on a trip. Helen is now in a better place mentally and can co-parent with her ex-partner, Scott, more peacefully. She enjoys staying at home and watching TV, unlike before when she would go out to drink when feeling lonely. Helen is happy now and feels more content. She has a good relationship with Scott's mom and maintains a drama-free environment for her kids. Helen recently shared on Instagram that she is going braless this summer and feels confident after undergoing a breast surgery. She opted for bigger implants to restore her breasts' shape after breastfeeding. Helen is pleased with the results and recommends the clinic where she had the procedure done.
