Lana Del Rey discusses panic attacks
By Andy Malt | Published on Friday 23 October 2015
Lana Del Rey has spoken about her struggle with panic attacks in an interview with Billboard.
Speaking to the magazine, she said: “It’s hard for me sometimes to think about going on when I know we’re going to die. Something happened in the last three years, with my panic [attacks]. It got worse. But I’ve always been prone to it. I remember being, I think, four years old and I’d just seen a show on TV where the person was killed. I turned to my parents and said, ‘Are we all going to die?’ They said, ‘Yes’ and I was totally distraught! I broke down in tears and said, ‘We have to move!'”
“I saw a therapist [about it] three times”, she went on. “But I’m really most comfortable sitting in that chair in the studio, writing or singing. I don’t [think they’ll last forever], but sometimes you just want to be able to enjoy the view”.
