  • Social media star Daniel Amit has halted work for a month due to mental health struggles.
  • Her decision impacts November campaigns during a key sales period.

  • Amit shared an optimistic update, reporting significant physical and mental relief.

  • Amit recently expanded her business with a new store on Wolt.

Daniel Amit, a prominent Israeli food blogger, culinary entrepreneur, and social media influencer with over half a million Instagram followers, has unexpectedly suspended her work for the next month to focus on her mental health. This decision, reported by "Mako," comes during November, a peak sales period for brands and influencers, leading to the postponement of planned campaigns.

The move has reportedly caused dissatisfaction among some clients and brands who were working with Amit, impacting their businesses directly. While facing business repercussions, Amit shared an optimistic update with her followers, describing a significant physical and mental relief. She posted on Instagram, "First morning I woke up without heart palpitations and without feeling my heart is coming out and I want to open it with a knife or go to the ER."

Earlier in November, Amit had bravely disclosed her struggles with severe anxiety attacks, which caused her to disappear from social media for two days. At the time, she revealed the debilitating nature of her condition, stating, "I am experiencing something I haven't experienced in years. Severe anxieties that take over the whole body... When you are in it, you are afraid you will never return to yourself."

In September, Amit was at the height of her business expansion, launching her own store on the Wolt delivery app. Her current decision to prioritize mental well-being, even at the cost of significant income and potential strain with major brands, appears to be showing positive results for her personal health. The timeline for her full return to work and campaigns remains uncertain.
