“I think my first ever proper panic attack was when I was in Year 4. It was just so confusing and really scary. I got to that point where I was always very much like ‘I didn’t want to talk to anyone’, ‘I didn’t want to upset anyone’.
"The majority of my friends reacted well. My Mum cried, my Dad started Googling it which is what he does when he doesn’t understand something, and started buying books on it! Having mental health problems is OK, it doesn’t make you any different and you’re still the person you were before. You’ve got to talk about it. There are always going to be people in the world that might not understand, but there will always be people that will save your life 10 times over and not even realise it.”
