We bet if we were once married to the trainwreck that is Jordan, we’d be having massive panic attacks, as well!!
Peter Andre has recently opened up about his battle with anxiety which, at its worst, would result in 20 panic attacks a day! He finally had to seek treatment at a psychiatric hospital in his 20s, but now successfully manages the condition with medication.
Andre says:
‘You go through all that anxiety and you think it’s the end of your life – but it’s not. I woke up at 3am and I felt a hammering in my head. I started panicking and hyperventilating, my hands were sweating and I thought my heart was going to pop out of my body. You think you’re having a heart attack. No matter how many times you’ve had it, every time you think, this is it, I’m going to die. There were times when it was so bad that I thought, am I better off? But you have to look at what’s around you. My family were my entire life and I though, how are they going to live the rest of their lives? That’s what stopped me. I won’t go back because I’ve got children: they need me and I will always be there for them. I will never go back.’
If this is sincere and not just a way of getting press, then we really have to hand it to him!!
Panic attacks ARE terrifying, and we’re happy he sought out treatment!
Being overwhelmed by your own anxiety is a horrible way to live your life!!
