"I couldn't help think about how I so often internalize the messages that I do not deserve to be loved in public," Cox says. "That I am some how not worthy of being loved. So much of my work, every single day, is working to not internalize those messages, those stigmatizing messages that I am some how not worthy of love."

Cox also admits that even her newly minted wax likeness hasn't chased away her anxieties. "Getting a wax figure of yourself at Madame Tussauds has not, for me been this moment of me thinking 'Oh, now I finally deserve love.' It actually has created even more anxiety," she continues. "Have I done enough to be worthy of this? Am I enough? And I stand here next to this wax figure, I can't help but feel this disconnect. Am I somehow enough? Have I done enough? Because so much of my work that I have to do every day to love myself is to tell myself that I am worthy. That I am enough."
