I'm sure there must be some, i was interested to know of any high profile people who suffer with anxiety/ depression, I.e pop stars , actors etc, was thinking how hard it must be for them trying to get that time away when you need it.....
Thank you
Sue

Robbie Williams !! I shouldn't be shocked but I am at some of these names, I'm sure these people do but they could help greatly if they are prepared to highlight it, maybe they do and I have just not noticed....thank you for thatWhyWhy it's very interesting, and somehow helps to make you feel better, when you know these people are loved, respected and talented by their fans and they have problems just like us.....
If one of them is on the site please do make contact with me I would love to hear from you ....hee hee
Thanks again Why Why I'm off to google now to see if any of them have spoken openly about it......xx

Peter Andre on TV cried and said he had gone through the most awful panic and anxiety I guess it can hit any of us but its easier when one is in a position to have extra care and company, on the other hand its not easy when they have to put on a good face all the time. cotonroad
peter andre suffers anxiety/panic attacks, catherine zete jones had bi polar, fern cotton has social anxiety, louie spence currently suffers with health anxiety and agrophobia in the past..........its quite shocking really how many of them actually do. what scares me the most is when you hear on the news things like how brittany murphy unexpectedly dies at like 30 and just happens to be on god knows how many depression and anxiety pills, its never a good idea to take to much and mix too many. whittney houston was also on a cocktail of these drugs, there life syle must be sooooo stressful. one of the members from the girl group the saturdays was in the last year admitted to hospital for depression.......i could go on and on. its a scary world but at least we know its not just us minions xxxxx
Yes I forgot about Peter Andre ...dont no how I managed that as I do like him
Yes he has suffered really bad , he used to always have a paper bag with him to blow in to ...think he still has them now & again but not often , he does an itv2 show & sometimes it gets mentioned , starts again this week

Must watch the show, I like him he's great with his kids.......to me it's kinda reassuring to know these people suffer bless them though its not easy at all xxxx
Lots of sports people seem to suffer from it too. I watched a brilliant film with the cricketer Andrew Flintoff talking so openly with various team mates about his struggles and the problems they'd had. It was very moving and inspiring. Seem to remember Sandra posting a piece about Ian Thorpe (the Olympic swimmer) too.
I guess no-one is immune. Anxiety is no respector of money or status.xx
The list is endless, I'm afraid. Apart from the afore-mentioned, Vivien Leigh, actress; Peter Sellers, Spike Milligan, Stephen Fry-now I've started this I can't remember the rest!- have all suffered from manic-depression ( as bi-polar used to be called). Apparently it goes with creativity. I used to be a musician and writer, so can identify with this.
It may sound crazy but it really helps me to know these people suffered with anxiety/depression, as one of my main issues is telling people, and it kinda helps me to know that a lot of the high profile people do still carry on and have people's respect even when they have let people know of their illness, I have every respect for them, I just don't think I can do it, it would make me feel too vulnerable with most people, but sometimes think at least if people new it would take some pressures off.....
It's interesting who the people are and it's good to know
Einstein, Van Gogh, some of the King Georges, Shakespeare, and even Jesus himself, on occasions - but with very good reasons. The list really is endless and most of them are talented and intelligent. xxxxx
