According to Radar Online, friends of Nicole fear she is overworking herself while coping with personal hardships, including the death of her mother, Janelle Ann Kidman in 2024 and scrutiny surrounding her split from Keith Urban.

The concern intensified after the actress allegedly suffered a health scare while filming the Margo's Got Money Troubles. Her co-star Nick Offerman recalled the actress arriving visibly ill with flu before receiving IV treatment at a hospital.

An insider told the outlet, "She's worked at a feverish pace through it all."

Adding, "Working is part of her coping mechanism for sure. She can lose herself in her characters. It's what makes her such an exceptional actor – but it's not necessarily healthy."

"Anyone who knows her well is very worried about her. She's got huge dark circles under her eyes from the lack of sleep, and she's thinner than ever. She needs a solid break to really face some of the tough emotions and honestly just rest – but she doesn't seem to want to slow down," the source also noted.

As per the sources it seems like Nicole Kidman is "afraid to stop" but what is concerning is that "she's going to run herself into the ground."
