Alec Baldwin’s 24-year-old daughter took to social media to open up about how her own mental health issues has inspired a daily series. “I have severe anxiety disorder,” she candidly told the camera. “I noticed that the past few nights, my anxiety has been getting worse at night and it kind of hit me last night.”

“I thought it would be cool if we all could come together and discussed these issues that we all deal with,” she said. “Maybe something that works for one person would work for another set of people who never thought to try that.” During the live sessions, the model will chat with followers, friends and strangers who are dealing with mental health issues. The actress also plans on using the time to educate herself on other mental health issues.

In 2015, she revealed that she had to “relearn how to be present,” following suffering “emotional trauma.” The model has also opened up about overcoming an eating disorder.
