“I did the thing, you know, the television thing,” Christina, who was nominated for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy at the ceremony, explained. “That was like the hardest day of my life. Started at 11 o’clock in the morning and didn’t get home until 9:30. I think I slept for two days straight after that. I couldn’t even function.”
And while Christina received encouraging words of wisdom from Jamie-Lynn—who has been battling MS for over 20 years—she noted that the only thing she’s been able to put her energy toward was caring for her 11-year-old.
“I’m kind of just like giving up,” she lamented. “You know me. I’m so like, ‘Well you know this is it. I’m just going to lay in bed and sleep all the time and then when my daughter needs me, I’ll be there for her and I’ll do everything for her.”
The Anchorman actress also noted that while she had a scheduled appointment with a therapist, she was worried that the “floodgates” would open, and she wouldn’t be able to close them again. However, Jamie-Lynn pushed back.
“I see more light in that process for you,” she encouraged. “I can’t let you give up. I can’t do it. I need you to do it.”
Throughout her MS diagnosis, Christina has been open about the ups and downs. Keep reading for a dive into her health journey.
