00:00When did this anxiety start for you?

00:03Me and the girls went to Vegas

00:06and I took something.

00:12Not anything bad. It was literally just an over-the-counter shot.

00:16And it was, like, five times the amount of caffeine

00:19and it'll give you energy boost.

00:21Like, I honestly thought I was having a heart attack

00:23from whatever was in there.

00:27like, having panic attacks, ended up in hospital.

00:29They put me on a drip.

00:32because my heart rate was so high.

00:35It was so scary.

00:37And then when I flew home, after that incident,

00:50I've obviously just been dealing with it

00:52and, like, maybe burying it a lot.
