  "account": "Megan Skiendiel, a member of the girl group Katseye, has shared her experiences with mental health struggles and the importance of surrounding herself with supportive people. In an interview with People, the 20-year-old revealed that therapy has been a significant help in managing her mental health issues. She noted that her close relationships with the girls in the band have been crucial for her well-being, stating, \"I think the best thing that really helped me was just surrounding myself with the right people.\" Skiendiel also addressed her insecurities about being judged by others, but emphasized that her fellow band members never make her feel like she's being too much. She shared that therapy has allowed her to openly discuss her feelings, which has been incredibly beneficial. Skiendiel, who previously took a break in 2024 due to a back injury, empathizes with her bandmates when they need to take time away from the group. In the Wild Hearts documentary, she expressed her support for her fellow members, particularly Manon Bannerman, who recently took a hiatus.",
