Amy Schumer reveals she suffers from crushing anxiety as she shares candid new selfie – Daily Mail

Amy Schumer took to Instagram on Thursday to get candid with her 11.2 million followers.

The 40-year-old entertainer shared a makeup-free selfie and wrote in the caption, ‘Hey everyone feels like someone is sitting on their chest all the time and is filled with crushing anxiety correct?’

Keeping in line with her wry sense of humor she added, ‘#tiktok #funnydogs.’ 

The mom-of-one wore a dark grey crewneck sweater and a matching beanie in the image. 

Wispy pieces of her blonde hair poked out from underneath her hat as she looked into the camera with a neutral expression.

The post has over 100,000 likes and her colleagues quickly gathered in the comments to affirm her. 

Internet personality Brittany Furlan was among the first to write, ‘Correct.’ 

Amy has never had a problem opening up to her audience about life’s struggles, often threading them into her standup routine.

In 2016 the I Feel Pretty actress also penned a New York Times Bestseller about her life, The Girls with the Lower Back Tattoo.

In it she got honest about her mother and father, and abusive relationships.  

Back in September Schumer, who’s married to chef Chris Fischer, 42, shared that her struggle with endometriosis led to the removal of her uterus and appendix.

At the time, she appeared on Instagram from her hospital room and said, ‘I’m feeling really hopeful and I am really glad that I did it, and I think it’s going to change my life.’

The standup comedian, who shares two-year-old son Gene David Fischer with her husband, called the condition ‘painful and debilitating.’ 

Speaking further about women’s health she said, ‘[Women] are made to feel like they are just supposed to “tough it out” but that is bull—-. We have a right to live pain free.’

Post-surgery Schumer noted, ‘All my lifelong pain explained and lifted out of my body. I am already a changed person. I am busting with joy for the new energy I have to be with my son.’
