In the podcast episode, the television host expressed that she had a panic disorder before – 10 to 11 years back. Belinda stated that it felt like someone was punching her gut constantly which caused her to stop doing live shows back then. She mentioned that the diagnosis had shattered her world before.
She revealed that the cause of her panic attacks was from the pressure she received from years of hosting live shows in the media industry – the pressure of delivering, performing, and becoming excellent in what she was expected to do. Also, criticisms from the public had its share of reasons for the panic attacks as well.
“The pain of my experiences is what made me the person I am today. I realised my past failures and disappointments don’t define me and my future because I am genuinely happy and at peace with where I am now.😌” the 45-year-old added.
Now, the television host wants to help those who are experiencing the same struggles that she felt before, and make them believe that they are not battling it alone.
“So pls don’t let how you feel make you forget what you deserve in life. You deserve to be alive. You deserve to be forgiven. You deserve to be loved and cared for. You deserve to be happy. You are made for greatness! ❤️” she exclaimed.
