Unfortunately for The Fault In Our Stars actress, she could not get supporting words from people around her. Woodley continued to reveal:

“There was a mix of people saying, ‘You shouldn’t have let that go’ or ‘You shouldn’t have been sick. That was combined with my own internal process of, ‘Am I going to survive what I’m going through right now and ever be healthy, or even have the opportunity to work on projects I’m passionate about again because of the situation I’m in?’

Fortunately, Woodley has fully recovered and is doing a lot better now. She thanked God and revealed she is focussing on mental health, which is slowly progressing.

“But because of that work, I feel very grounded and rooted in who I am and very clear about everything in my life, whether it’s my career or my relationships or my own internal worth. I feel very grateful to have walked that line of fire, because now I know what I don’t want to ever go back to.”

Shailene Woodley physical health recovery indeed gave her the boost she wanted, nominating her for two Golden Globes and an Emmy Award as well. Apart from her several TV shows and bigger titles. She has also taken part in The Spectacular Now and The Descendants.
