Savannah Chrisley Says She Went 'MIA' Because She's 'Been So Anxiety Filled' About Coronavirus

Savannah Chrisley is opening up about the anxiety she’s been feeling amid the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.

The Chrisley Knows Best star, 22, shared a selfie on Instagram Friday, admitting that she has been “a little MIA” because of anxiety about “what’s going on in our world today.”

“Throwback to a week or so ago when life was normal,” she began her post, explaining that she is “the worrier of the bunch” along with her dad, Todd Chrisley.

“I have stayed up until 4 or so most mornings because I just couldn’t shut my brain off,” she shared. “What will tomorrow look like? Will everyone be ok? How will our economy recovery? What about everyone’s livelihood? SOOO MANY thoughts and questions going through my mind.”

View this post on Instagram Throwback to a week or so ago when life was normal…I’ve been a little MIA recently and honestly it’s because I have been so anxiety filled with what’s going on in our world today. I am the worrier of the bunch (along with my daddy) lol. I have stayed up until 4 or so most mornings because I just couldn’t shut my brain off. What will tomorrow look like? Will everyone be ok? How will our economy recovery? What about everyone’s livelihood? SOOO MANY thoughts and questions going through my mind. But yesterday I spoke to my therapist and WOW…it sure did put me at ease. At the end of the day…your mindset about an issue is what gives you stress and anxiety. Therefore…today I CHOOSE to be positive and optimistic….I CHOOSE to believe in my Heavenly Father and the plan that He has for us… a plan to give us hope and a future. Please join me in focusing not on the circumstances but on the one who brings us through the circumstances. I love you all…during this time love harder than ever! Life is so short! ALSO: To all my young people…LISTEN TO OUR GOVERNMENT…it’s not considered cool to be out and partying. While you may be having fun you could also be infecting someone extremely vulnerable…so please.. BE SELFLESS! #coronavirus #selfless #love
