Gisele Bündchen talks about her anxious past

In her book ‘Lessons: My path to a meaningful life‘, Gisele talked about a dark era of her life that she had always kept hidden from public eyes. She talked about the time when she was dealing with anxiety and how it took control of her daily life. Gisele talked about how she carried a high-tech machine everywhere she went to track her breath. According to Gisele, it kept her from hyperventilating, even though it did not bring in significant long-lasting change.

Gisele said, “The same symptoms appeared everytime. My hands would start sweating, followed by the familiar prickling sensation on my forehead. The back of my neck would get damp, then my hair. My breath started catching. I would feel lightheaded. Sometimes I would almost faint.”

By now my panic attacks- that’s what my doctors were calling them- had been going on for nearly six months.”
