Here is millionaire actor Ryan Reynolds Inspiring Success Story -

Ryan Reynolds today is one of the most popular actors; he's naturally funny and charismatic.

But did you know that his whole life, he's dealing with crippling anxiety, depression and panic attacks in the middle of the night, and his road to success was not easy ?

It took 11 years and 47 rejections for dead pool to hit the screens. This success story of Ryan Reynolds will motivate you never to give up. 

Ryan didn't have an easy childhood when he was just a kid. He began feeling anxious all the time because of his father. 

My dad was a tough guy. This is not meant to be some sob story. Everyone carries their bags of rock around, and I am no different in that regard. But growing up in my house was never relaxing or easy.

In high school, believe it or not, he failed in drama. But as a dean he landed his first role in TV series 15, where he made $150 daily. And for the young Ryan, that was a fortune, but he was always very humble, although he earned an excellent salary for a teen. 

Ryan was still doing his job, delivering newspapers. "I will do my TV show and then I will go home and do my paper route." Even though he was praised for his excellent acting skill. In the beginning he hated acting, he did it just to get out of the house after the TV Show was over. 

He struggled to get his career off the ground. So he quit acting and took a job at a warehouse supermarket and a restaurant for two years. But luckily, his actor friend convinced him to move to Los Angeles, and Ryan started getting some movie roles, but his anxiety was getting worse. 

At first, he relied on comedy to manage his symptoms. But there was a point when even that didn't work. So he turned to drugs.

  "I was partying and just trying to make myself vanish in some way"

Ryan would often wake up in the middle of the night feeling paralyzed by anxiety; about his future; he began to self - medicate but fortunately stoped and found healthier ways to manage his stress. The movie role that transformed his career didn't come easy.

When Ryan started approaching studios to bring Deadpool to big screen he was rejected many times but never gave up, that bill took 11 years and 47 rejections to be made.

And thanks to the movie, Ryan became one of the most famous Hollywood actors, and playing the role of Deadpool helped him deal with his anxiety. 

He uses his Deadpool alter ego, to not get nauseous before any interview or big event. He tries to exercise and move his body daily to keep his depression under control. He also uses meditation to calm his mind. I know sometimes it's hard to even get out of bed.

Exercise can do wonders. But the most important thing is to reach out to someone, reach out to friends and family. And if things get unbearable seek professional help.

Just know that there is something you can do about it. This post is for you, who faced many challenges, who survived many failures, who even though you have been broken and wanted to give up so many times, you're still fighting every day.

Remember this is only one chapter of your story.
