Little Mix's Perrie Edwards Opens Up About Panic Attacks & Struggle With Anxiety
Perrie Edwards is opening up about dealing with anxiety and panic attacks in a honest new Instagram to her fans.
The 25-year-old Little Mix singer revealed how she dealt with her first attack.
“I’d like to open up about something. Venting your feelings is healthy and I want to be honest with you all,” Perrie started out. “Over the past few years I have suffered really badly with anxiety and panic attacks. When I first started to feel the effects of anxiety I thought I was losing my mind and it terrified me.”
She added that her first ever attack was “so intense and overwhelming” that she felt like she was having a heart attack.
“I was so scared and confused and had no idea what was happening to me,” she adds. “I’m not sure what triggered that first one but it soon spiralled (sic) & I found myself in a really dark place, feeling alone and scared. I had people around me but I couldn’t explain to them what was happening to me or why.”
