Ariana Grande ‘Almost Feels Guilty’ About Having Anxiety

Ariana Grande is getting even more personal about her struggles with anxiety in a new special for the BBC, airing this week. 

“I almost feel guilty that I have it [anxiety] because it’s just in your head and it’s just so crazy how powerful it is,” she said in the interview. “You have ups and downs and sometimes you’ll go weeks at a time where you will be crushing it and there will be no anxiety… and then something will happen that can trigger it and then you have a couple of down days.”

“The most important thing is to remember that…everybody has this,” she insists. “Talk to your loved ones, reach out to people, especially your fiends online.”

Ariana hasn’t had the best couple months. Her ex Mac Miller died on the same day she gave this interview for the BBC, reports Entertainment Tonight, and a few weeks later, news broke that she had ended her engagement to Pete Davidson.
