KATSEYE star Megan Skiendiel has opened up on her struggles with mental health as two members of the girl group take time out to prioritise their well-being.
Both Sophia Laforteza and Manon Bannerman are taking time away from the band to focus on their wellness, and now Megan has revealed that therapy has been a real help for her.
Speaking to PEOPLE, she said: “I’ve always struggled with mental health and everything in that essence.
“But I think something that’s really helped me are the people that I surround myself with, especially the girls.”
Megan also shared how supported she feels in the band.
She said: “I’m very outgoing, but at the same time, some people can think that could be too much. But these girls never make me feel like I’m being too much.
“So I think the best thing that really helped me was just surrounding myself with the right people.”
She continued: “That’s the biggest insecurity, people judging me or whatever. But yeah, I think I’ve really learned to know how to surround myself with the right people and people that bring me up and encourage me to bring that side out of me.”
On the benefits of regular therapy sessions, she said: “It’s really nice to be able to talk out feelings rather than holding it in.
“I think that’s the biggest thing I’ve learned.”
Megan previously took a step back in 2024 and can empathize whenever one of her fellow bandmates feels that it’s time to rest.
Speaking in the girls’ Wild Hearts documentary released last week, she said: “For me, when I was on hiatus, I was injured with my back, and it was definitely hard being able to see everything that the girls were doing and not being able to be there myself.”
Addressing Manon’s hiatus, Sophia says in the film: “When Manon went on hiatus, it was definitely sad.
“Manon connects with people at an incredible level.”
