Adam Lambert Reveals How He Took Control Of His Anxiety

Do you ever feel like you’re in your own way? Like the only obstacle stopping you from achieving success is your own lack of self-belief? This is something pop icon and Queen front man Adam Lambert has spent a career navigating.
‪@AdamLambert‬
In this chat with Fearne, Adam opens up about how he came to understand that he has anxiety. Looking back, he’s clear that having to supress his queer identity for a long time compounded his stress, and that while becoming famous alleviated some stresses, it created many others, including a huge pressure to constantly perform at a high level. They also talk about the positive impact Adam’s personally found taking medication has had on his mental health.

Depression and anxiety are genuine medical conditions that need treating. I’m a doctor and I take my antidepressants everyday and will happily do so forever. ❤

I'm on lexapro now too.. and it really has helped me so much with my anxiety.. but also w/ my pmdd. It's awesome that Adam is speaking out so openly and honestly about anxiety and positive experiences w meditation 🙏

Very inspirational
Takes guts to be honest and open about anxiety. What a humble man. Thanks for this conversation, Fearne 🧡✨️

Adam, I relate to your story so much. From the dizzy spells, to the health neurosis. It's more common than we think. When your body is in fight or flight mode for too long, it starts to send you signals to say, "Hey, listen, you are stressed". Anxiety is so complex, it can really creep up on you. And it manifests so differently from person to person. The mind and body connection is truly fascinating!

Same here!

This is exactly what I just mentioned. My son suffered from this and vestibular migraine.

[@Ecclesiastes3v11]

All I can say is well done Adam in being so active in trying to work out what exactly was going on. My son suffered with dizziness and vertigo called vestibular neurosis and vestibular migraine due to stress after he graduated from University 5 years ago. He was so unwell he was unable to even look at any electronic screen because of the waves of nausea it created. (Difficult having just graduated in Computer science 🙈).
Now, 5 years on, we realise he has OCD. OCD can take many many forms, it's not just about checking stuff, it can also be purely obsessive in natue. Obsessive about any and everything including health, religion, etc

All the best health to La Glambert.

I can't say how amazing this has been for me...❤

[@Smark71920]

This could absolutely be anxiety but a lot of auto immune issues can cause this. Also, I struggled for years and finally was diagnosed with MCAS which was the source of my issues. A lot of times physical issues cause anxiety and then anxiety makes it worse or anxiety can trigger physical. These things are no joke so do not accept any doctor dismissing you as all in your head. I don’t care who they are. Find someone else.
