Mischa Barton struggles a lot!

Mischa Barton is always in news because of lots of issues. Starting from the fact that she has been placed under involuntary psychiatric hold, then she was arrested in West Hollywood as she was an unlicensed driver and was driving while under the influence of an alcoholic beverage. Even Barton had so many breakups. But the list doesn't end here; the actress also struggled with a fluctuating weight and body image. Someone close to Barton said, "She has big self-esteem issues. ... She hates her legs." "She isn't comfortable with her body. It's been a big source of stress and self-hate." "She had a big problem with those photos of her cellulite. ... She didn't like it," says another source. "That just was something that contributed to her spiraling but she didn't do much to fix it because of her partying." While another friend tells PEOPLE the photos upset the former O.C. star - "[She was] more pissed off than hurt and she complained a lot about that" - she didn't let them get "to her too much. ... I never saw her diet."

Finally when she was very much in shape and photos showed a thinner Barton, she took to her blog and spoke out about the "crazy press," telling fans that she's "happier and healthier than ever so there's no need to worry about me." She wrote on her Web site. "Don't let other people's perceptions of you dictate the way you live your life."
