Asked on “CBS This Morning” if she ever has “one of those days,” when “you feel like you can’t do one more thing,” Reese Witherspoon replied, “I’ll lay on the floor and cry or I’ll sit in my car and cry. Sometimes I’m totally overwhelmed.”

To the inevitable follow-up “What keeps you going?” Witherspoon, 44, responded, “I really want to change things.

“I see younger women in our industry and I want them to have a better experience … I want to see that they have a beautiful idea of what the future could hold.”

The “Big Little Lies” star recently spoke with Jameela Jamil on the topic of mental health, divulging, “I definitely had anxiety, my anxiety manifests as depression so I would get really depressed. My brain is like a hamster on a wheel and it won’t come off, I’ve been managing it my entire life.”

But in her “CBS This Morning” appearance, Witherspoon circles back to a more positive note: “I will put in the hours and I bet on myself. I’m my own lottery ticket,” Witherspoon said. “I always think that, you know. If no one else shows up, I know I will show up and I know I will do the work.”
