After Sam & Cat, McCurdy primarily worked on short films and voice roles. While filming the Canadian sci-fi drama Between, which aired on Netflix internationally, she realized she needed to take time off from the business due to alcohol use and disordered eating.
“I had to kind of fight the demons on my own time,” McCurdy explained. “I went dark. I went off of social media. I quit acting. I had to make these pretty big life decisions in order to deal with my stuff, my life.” In 2018, she starred in the coming-of-age comedy Little B*tches.

“I resent my career in a lot of ways,” McCurdy said on her podcast, Empty Inside, in March 2021. “I initially didn’t want to do it. My mom put me in it when I was six, and by sort of age, I guess, 10 or 11, I was the main financial support for my family. My family didn’t have a lot of money, and this was the way out, which I actually think was helpful in driving me to some degree of success,”
