How Adele Beat Depression and Overcame Her Anxiety Attacks - Best Motivational Success Story
Adele was just 2 years old, when her father who suffered from alcoholism left the family. Her teenage mother had to take care of Adele on her own.
Adele always loved music, but she never strived to be famous, she wanted to help other artists become popular and fulfill their dreams
But when Adele's friend posted her song from a school project on MySpace, the reactions were amazing, so she soon got a call from a record company. They were very interested in her. And 4 months after graduating she signed a record deal. As we know today, she became very famous, very fast.
She has sold millions of albums worldwide, Broke many records, won 15 Grammys as well as an Oscar. Her songs like "Rolling in the deep", "Someone like you", won many people's hearts, because they were very personal and inspired by her own life.
Even though she has one of the most powerful and beautiful voices on this planet, and she is one of the most successful artists in the world, she has fears and doubts and insecurities like every other human being. Adele has revealed that she suffers from severe anxiety attacks that freeze her ability to perform in large crowds.
"I have anxiety attacks, constant panicking on stage, my heart feels like it's going to explode because I never feel like I'm going to deliver, ever."
She experiences extreme amount of fear when she has to sing for large audience. And she is petrified that she's gonna disappoint her fans. One time her anxiety attack was so extreme that drove her to vomit and escape using the fire exit.
But one celebrity helped Adele overcome her anxiety. It was Beyoncé!
When one time Adele was crying hysterically on a balcony, she asked herself. "'What would Beyoncé's alter ego - Sasha Fierce do?' That's when Sasha Carter was born."
Adele is also familiar with depression.
Her depression began when she was 10 years old, after her grandfather passed away. And after her son was born, she suffered from postpartum depression. She felt like she had made the worst decision of her life. But that's the thing about depression. It can mess with your mind. But she found comfort when she opened up to other moms. So talking about it with someone who understood her situation, felt like a therapy for Adele. She found it extremely helpful.
Because Depression, anxiety and other mental health problems are nothing to be ashamed of. And definitely the worst thing you can do is be quiet about it. And of course not all types of depression can be treated just by talking about it. So if talking doesn't help much, that's OK. Some people need therapy to feel better, some people need medication. But it doesn't matter. Because there are options available.
