Due to a hectic time the actress went through, having something special might be exactly what she needs. She's opened up on a toxic relationship she dealt with a while back, but now she seems to be doing what she can to make herself stronger. In fact, she gave positive advice to anyone who's going through a difficult time during the holidays.

Debby Ryan Is Looking Forward To 2016

Ryan discussed her past abuse with MTV News on how the guy she knew had a "need for control."

"He tried to get involved in every aspect of my public life, my personal life, my friendship, my family, my work life," the actress explained. "Ultimately I realized there was something wrong with the situation. As our relationship continued he would cry, threaten to commit suicide, and it started to become physical- he would grab me, pulling me back into rooms if I tried to leave."
