Overview
- Thiel told followers in Instagram Stories that she is “mentally at an absolute low point” and that the past weeks have been “really, really difficult.”
- She said she had been ill and roughly a month out of the gym, ate more than usual, gained weight and noticed her eating disorder taking up more space again.
- To get help she booked a therapy appointment, completed an hour‑long session she described as helpful, and forced herself back to the gym despite tears and low motivation.
- Thiel reported her therapist repeatedly raised ADHD as a possible underlying factor in her long‑term struggles but emphasized she has no formal ADHD diagnosis at this time.
- Thiel has a long public history of mental‑health advocacy—she withdrew from public life in 2019, disclosed bulimia in 2021, and uses her platform to destigmatize eating disorders while media outlets relay her latest update and helpline information.
