"Pretty Little Liars" star Torrey DeVitto has opened up about how she's dealing with her anxiety.
The actress, who suffers from a chemical imbalance which causes her to have nervousness and insomnia, will use the time she has on break from the hit Freeform show to go on a silent retreat.
"I'm going on my first Vispassana, which is a silent retreat for five days," DeVitto told Page Six. "I've done retreats before, but I've never done a silent one."
The actress continued: "I'll have to share a room with people that I've never met before and there's no [verbal] communication. They said to bring a battery-operated alarm clock because you can't have your cellphone. You have to be completely cut off ... It's just the anticipation of not knowing at all what to expect."
DeVitto also added that she will take the opportunity to decrease her dependence on her cellphone.

"I actually have my first iPhone deformity because it sits on my pinky and now my bone actually dips in where my cellphone sits," the actress said, adding, "It's disgusting ... What are we doing to ourselves?"
DeVitto is not the first "PLL" star to speak out on mental issues. Troian Bellisario, who plays Spencer Hastings, has been vocal about the problems she's had in the past.
Speaking of her struggles as a teenager, Bellisario told Seventeen, "I would withhold food or withhold going out with my friends based on how well I did that day in school... I didn't know what was right and what was wrong, so I think I created this bizarre system of checks and balances to create order in my world. But it really backfired."
Meanwhile, fans can see the two actresses' characters' struggles onscreen when "Pretty Little Liars" season 7 airs in June.
