Let’s be honest, we have all felt like Lexi once in our lives. However, Lexi and her problems were severe. She also once had to take a break to value her mental peace.

She also talked about how she still managed to gain success during that phase of life. However, she also mentioned how the emotional exhaustion made her numb to realize how she achieved that.

She said, “The last year and a half, I have honestly been struggling a lot, emotionally, and it’s hard because I can’t really show it. It was just so much to deal with, and I had to show that I was still okay and still play golf. And I don’t even know how I played that well, honestly. And I think it just kind of all hit me coming into this year.”

Burnout and emotional exhaustion are real. Mental peace is really crucial in any field of life.

Thompson once took a break from social media following her encounter with a former POTUS

Thompson once had to take a break from social media posts after receiving ‘hurtful’ comments. This instance occurred after she played a round of golf with former US President, Donald Trump, and talk-show host, Rush Limbaugh, a couple of years back.

As per sources, the sensational pro golfer joined to play with those above at the Trump International Golf Club. The White House shared the photos of this meet-up on social media. This spurred a line of comments from viewers all around. While some were in her support, most were hurtful which prompted Lexi to step back.

She wrote, “Hey everybody, just want to say I will be taking a break from social media. If I post it will be from my management team for me. I’m too involved with it, and to read some of the hurtful things being said to me lately isn’t fair and I’m not dealing with it. Thank you to my true fans out there I will be back on but I’m going to be focusing on me right now and my life. Thanks for understanding.”

Social media and its impact on the mental health of people in the spotlight is serious. The fact that even someone at the peak of her career like Thompson had to step back and take a break proves how social media is a tougher field to play for all of us.
