“It was bad, bad. Awful, actually," she recalled, while explaining that working through what she was experiencing didn't exactly help things.

“I was working all the way through,” she said, the publication describing her as explaining herself "with a rueful laugh." “I was very good at hiding it," she continued. “If anything, I was like, let me escape myself.”

It sounds like Olivia is doing much better now, and in the interview she also cites her ability to speak up for herself when something is amiss on set.

“I’ve always been quite protective of myself and known my limits, and known if someone was taking the piss," she said. "And no one else is going to say it, usually. ... If it happens more than twice, then I speak up.”

Olivia's story serves as a reminder that it's always important to look out for yourself and your mental health — no matter what you've got going on. You're your number one priority, and there's nothing wrong with taking care of yourself when you can.
