In what was promoted as a moment of raw vulnerability, popular Australian influencer Sam Guggenheimer spoke about the toll that being a social media figure has had on her mental health—but not everyone is buying it.
The 23-year-old, who has close to 350,000 followers on TikTok, opened up about her long-standing battles with depression, anxiety, and what she described as an “aggressive” eating disorder.
“Mental health challenges have been a constant part of my journey,” Guggenheimer said. “They’ve shaped me into the person I am today.”
