Despite the difficulties, the Entourage alum—who shares sons Beau, 10, and Jack, 6, with husband Cutter Dykstra—used her story to motivate her cohost through her own dark time as she battles the same illness.
“It’s so hard to live in a disabled body,” Jamie-Lynn continued. “I will not take that away from you and I’m right there with you. But what makes it harder is when you compare it to how it used to be.”
For her part, Christina, who shared her own MS diagnosis in 2021, has been struggling amid acclimating to life with a chronic illness.
“I’m still sitting here like ‘Boohoo, woe is me.’ I’m still mad about it,” the Married… With Children actress shared. “I am in a depression right now, which I don’t think I’ve felt for years, like a real, f–k it all, like real depression where it’s kind of scaring me too a little bit because it feels really fatalistic.
In addition to sharing her own ups-and-downs with MS, Jamie-Lynn encouraged her friend to seek support from a therapist and loved ones.
“I see more light in that process for you,” she noted. “I can’t let you give up. I can’t do it. I need you to do it.”
