Camila Cabello Opens Up About “Toxic Stress” and Classroom Dreams
When Camila Cabello talks about her “toxic stress” that’s been gnawing at her for years, she’s not pulling any punches. The 24‑year‑old pop star calmly admits that the mental health toll was more serious than a bad haircut.
1. Mental Health Struggles
- OCD and anxiety keep her on edge.
- She once felt she was “inadequate” because “just functioning” was a daily challenge.
- “I had to learn that I’m not broken. I’m just human,” she says, with the usual mix of seriousness and a touch of humor.
2. College Dreams
Despite the glitter of Fifth Harmony fame, Camila still feels the itch to “study at NYU.” She confides:
“I love information. I’d have had a blast in college – maybe I’d have been crushed under homework, but I love learning, reading, and exploring cool ideas.”
She’s begging her fans to “keep watching her research the next syllabus.”
3. Love & Support
Since 2019, she’s been dating pop star Shawn Mendes. For Camila, he’s:
- A real, grounded partner who doesn’t let her “get out of line.”
- A supporting pillar that keeps her “never lost” in the chaotic music world.
She credits him for providing a stable emotional base that’s been crucial during her mental health battles.
4. Social Media: The Good & the Great
Camila recently flipped the script on body-shamers by posting a video that celebrated her curves, cellulite, stretch marks, and everyday weight fluctuations.
“I’m proud of my figure…and even the “cruel” bits. Reading those comments feels liberating,” she says with a grin.
She acknowledges that social media lets critics fire shots, but it also gives her an instant shield to reply with positivity and self-love.
In short, Camila Cabello is proving that “toxic stress” isn’t the end of a star’s story. It’s a chapter that’s now unlocking potential, resilience, and a promise to keep learning.
