Gisele Bündchen Talks About Battling Severe Panic Attacks
Would you believe that one of the world’s most famous supermodels has battled panic attacks so extreme that she thought about taking her own life? Gisele Bündchen is telling her story of struggling in an honest new memoir. The 38-year-old wants people to know that things aren’t always as good as they seem from the outsider’s perspective. The wife of NFL quarterback Tom Brady tells People: “I felt like maybe it was time to share some of my vulnerabilities, and it made me realize, everything I’ve lived through, I would never change, because I think I am who I am because of those experiences.” Bündchen talks of her fears that began 15 years ago dealing with tunnels, elevators and other enclosed spaces. “But I felt powerless. Your world becomes smaller and smaller, and you can’t breathe, which is the worst feeling I’ve ever had.” Do you suffer from fear and anxiety? Does celebrities and athletes opening up about their mental health issues make you feel better about your own?
