Peter Andre shares details of his ‘horrific’ battle with panic attacks
Peter Andre has shared details of his “horrific” battle with panic attacks in a heartfelt Instagram post. The 51-year-old singer teamed up with JAAQ, a free mental health search engine, to talk openly about his struggles with mental health.
In the shared clip, Peter explained, “You literally feel like you’re going to die. A panic attack, the way I used to describe it was thinking I’m going to die.”
He continued, “Your heart’s beating fast and your palms get sweaty and you get this brain fog. You don’t know what’s going to happen and you think you can’t get out of this. ‘No one will understand, please call me an ambulance.’”
Peter also touched on the fear of being judged by others during such episodes. “You think everyone around you is going to think you’re crazy,” he said, before reassuring others that it is a “completely normal way to feel.”
“What I will tell you is that you’re not crazy and nothing is actually going to happen to you,” the Mysterious Girl singer concluded. “That’s the hardest thing to believe at this point.”
Peter’s candid revelations aim to provide comfort and understanding to those experiencing similar struggles, emphasizing that panic attacks, while terrifying, are manageable and that support is available. His collaboration with JAAQ highlights the importance of mental health awareness and the need for accessible resources to help those in need.
