GERALD BUTLER SUFFERS ANXIETY ATTACKS

Gerald Butler

Gerald Butler is admitting that he suffers from crippling anxiety attacks, but he is " addicted" to the feeling and enjoys making it worse for himself. The star finds it difficult to keep calm in certain situations and is saying his nerves often affect his ability to function. He is admitting that he has suffered from the condition for so many years, he has become hooked on feeling stressed out. He tells Men’s Health magazine, "I was born into a world of anxiety. I am slightly addicted to anxiety. When I’m feeling anxious, I’ll create more anxiety for myself. Like I might call all these people about what’s fun to do tonight and end up with four different options, which in itself would put me into a blind panic; but then I’ll make another four calls just to make it 10 times more anxiety-ridden."
