Gisele Bündchen is known for her private life, but she is now expressing herself in a new memoir about suicidal thoughts.
In "Lessons: My Way to a Meaningful Life", on October 2, Bündchen shares her story of struggles for mental health and her experiences with panic attacks, suicidal ideation and medication.
"Things may seem perfect on the outside, but you have no idea what's really going on," said the 38-year-old man in an interview with People. "I felt like it was time to share some of my vulnerabilities and that made me realize, all that I've lived, I would never change because I think I'm what I am because of these experiences. "
After suffering a panic attack on a small plane 15 years ago, Bündchen said that she had begun to fear tunnels, lifts and other restricted spaces.
"I was in a great position in my career, I was very close to my family and I always considered myself a positive person, so I was really fighting," she told People. "Like" Why should I feel that? "I felt like I did not have the right to feel bad, but I felt helpless, your world is getting smaller and you can not breathe, which is the worst feeling I've ever had. I have never had.
As she continued to feel worse, Bündchen said that she considered the suicide: "In fact, I had the feeling of" if I just jump out of my balcony, it will end and I'm not sure. I never have to worry about this feeling of my world getting closer. " "
She was later prescribed Xanax, but she decided to review her eating and drinking habits and resort to yoga and meditation to relax.
"The thought of relying on something seemed even worse to me because I thought," What if I lose that pill? So what? Am I going to die? "The only thing I knew was that I needed help."
