One of the many reasons we love Gina Rodriguez : Shes not afraid to get real with her fans.

The Jane the Virgin star posted a video on Instagram this weekend in which she indicated that she has anxiety. The clip, part of a project called Ten Second Portraits by her friend Anton Soggiu, features a fresh-faced and smiling Rodriguez.

Bare and exposed in the streets of LA. No makeup. No styling. Just me, the caption reads. I suffer from anxiety. And watching this clip I could see how anxious I was but I empathize with myself. I wanted to protect her and tell her its ok to be anxious, there is nothing different or strange about having anxiety and I will prevail. I like watching this video. It makes me uncomfortable but there is a freedom I feel maybe even an acceptance. This is me. Puro Gina.
