Emma Stone had panic attacks

Emma Stone used to suffer from severe panic attacks. The Amazing Spider-Man actress would have extreme bouts of anxiety - which started when she was around eight - and were so debilitating sometimes she couldn't even leave the house. She explained: "I was just kind of immobilized by it. I didn't want to go to my friends' houses or hang out with anybody, and nobody really understood." However, Emma, 23, managed to work through her fears after undergoing therapy and she put all her efforts into becoming a successful actress.
She told Vogue magazine: "[Being on stage] gave me a sense of purpose. I wanted to make people laugh. Comedy was my sport. It taught me how to roll with the punches. Failure is the exact same as success when it comes to comedy because it just keeps coming. It never stops." The blonde beauty - who is dating her Spider-Man co-star Andrew Garfield - does still occasionally get panic attacks but copes with them by baking. She said: "I think I felt really out of control of my surroundings. I was just baking all the time. It seemed like it made me feel, if I put these in, I'll know what the outcome is."
I like her and hope this Spidy does decent. The 3D looks fantastic and more real than previous incarnations.
I am glad to hear she got through it. I love Emma and I am so excited for The Amazing Spider-Man.
im not trying to compare myself to emma stone, lol, but i know how immobilizing panic attacks can be and im very happy she managed to get through them without turning to meds. good job!!
