Remi Bader isn’t one to post through the pain. 

Indeed, the TikToker recently detailed why she values social media breaks when she’s struggling with her mental health.  

“There was a point where I was really dealing with depression in January and really having a hard time,” she explained at Project Healthy Minds’ 2024 Mental Health Day Gala Oct 10 exclusively to E! News, “and I probably stopped posting for a month. It was something I needed to do for me and not get opinions from other people. That’s part of putting your mental health first. Giving yourself the time that you need and feeling out like, ‘what is best for me in this moment?’”

Of course, Remi admitted that it’s been an upward climb to protecting her peace when it comes to having a career centered on being online. 

“I used to feel like if I didn’t post for a day or two days, I would lose my career,” she admitted. “That’s so not true.”

And when Remi does post, she makes a point to be intentional about sharing her struggles—something she’s valued from the very beginning. After all, it’s been the ethos of her platform since she started it in 2020. 

“It was my fifth video ever that I started just opening up about my mental health,” the 29-year-old explained. “I think it just always came naturally to me because I struggled with my mental health. I used to feel like it was an issue and really felt that stigma around it. Now, to other people I’m like, ‘So many people feel the same way.’”

But her growing fame hasn’t meant the end of her mental health challenges—and she wants her followers to know that. 

As she put it, “If you think someone with three million plus followers doesn’t feel what you’re feeling, like, we all struggle with our mental health.”

Still, Remi has emphasized before that while she wants to end the stigma with her content, she’s not willing to open her life up for debate or criticism. 

“People say that when you put yourself in the public eye, the negative just ‘comes with the territory,’” Remi wrote in a May essay for Nylon, “and to an extent, they are correct—but that doesn’t mean that we can’t set boundaries."

And those limits are especially important when it comes to facing negativity. 

“Seeing negative comments and messages each and every day about how much weight I was gaining (or losing) made me feel awful about myself and was contributing to a disorder I was trying so hard to keep under control,” she added. “It was then that I realized I needed some separation between what goes online, and what stays off.”
