From Laurel Canyon\u2019s chaotic bohemia to the suffocating spotlight of Kelly Bundy, she learned early to perform through pain. Abuse, addiction all around her, and partners she tried desperately to \u201cfix\u201d left her convinced she existed to hold everyone else together while she quietly fell apart.<\/p>\n<p>Yet the woman who now spends much of her day in bed with multiple sclerosis refuses to disappear. Through her memoir, You With the Sad Eyes, and her new platform, Next in MS, she is turning private agony into public solidarity. She may move more slowly, work less, hurt more, but she is finally living as herself \u2014 not a character, not a caretaker, but a scarred, resilient survivor who dares to be seen exactly as she is.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Christina Applegate\u2019s story is not a glossy Hollywood comeback tale; it\u2019s the long, uneven climb of a girl who was never allowed to be a child.
