Madelaine Petsch struggles to relax

OHMYGOSSIP — Madelaine Petsch struggles to relax. The ‘Riverdale’ actress admits she finds it hard to give herself downtime and she has a “trauma”, which always makes her feel like she should be doing something rather than taking time for herself.

She said: “I don’t allow myself to relax. My therapist was explaining this to me. I have this – it’s not a childhood trauma – but it’s a kind of trauma that basically makes you think you always have to be doing something. So I feel like that’s something I have to work on: allowing myself downtime.”

And the 26-year-old actress admits the busier she is, the less anxiety she experiences. Speaking about why she pushes herself into her work, she added: “The busier I am, the less anxiety I have … I really bury myself in my work because I – this is maybe a little sad, but – because I want to be other people all the time. I want to bring other people to life. And quarantine for me was – is – like, Whoa, I’m really just Madelaine all the time right now … When you’re always bringing other people to life, who does that leave you with? I feel like I have to be everything to everybody. And I don’t know what that makes me at the end of the day … I’m so in touch with my emotions. They have to always be underneath the surface at any given moment for a scene. That’s why I can nail it every take.”

Meanwhile, Madelaine also opened up about how she was bullied for her character on ‘Riverdale’. Speaking to the March issue of Cosmopolitan magazine, she said: “I was massively bullied online. People would call me a bitch all the time. I was crying in bed every night … I called up my team and was like, ‘I love my job, but this is hard for me.’ And one of my team members was like, ‘Maybe you should make a YouTube channel and show them how dumb and weird you are?'”
