Gorgeous Amanda Seyfried truly seems to have it all -- good looks, a budding Hollywood career, famous boyfriends. But actually, she suffers from anxiety. In a recent interview with British Glamour magazine, the 25-year-old "Mean Girls" actress confesses that she's seeing a therapist to treat her panic attacks.

“[Therapy] has been such a great tool. … I still do get terribly nervous, and that’s partly due to the fact [that] I think too much and overanalyze things,” she told the magazine. "I'll start worrying about my parents or my dog, and I’ll picture him opening the window of my apartment and falling out, even though I can’t get that thing open myself." Amanda, we can relate!

Seyfried said the increased attention she received while dating ex-boyfriend Ryan Phillippe contributed to her anxiety. And in a recent interview with Elle magazine, she said her agents are already urging her to get Botox. "I was like, Damn you! But we’re in Hollywood," Seyfried said. "I’m on a huge screen. With these new digital cameras, you can see the peach fuzz on my face."

Sounds like the girl is under a lot of pressure. Our advice to Amanda Seyfried? Stop worrying so much, and start enjoying being rich, beautiful, young and famous!

    I have had a couple. It usually feels like a heart attack or anaphylaxis. No cause or cure other than focusing on something else and realizing it isn't real. It also doesn't necessarily have to do with being worried like the article advises. I can just hit you for no reason. Does she have anxiety or panic attacks? There is a difference.

    Huge lips and weird eyes. I will take them and her any day of the week. She is gorgeous. If you are a woman, you are jealous. If you are a guy, you are nuts.

    I think so. It started with a slight worry about something unidentifiable. Then excelerated to body aches & nausea. I took an Aleve but continued to get dizzy. After several hours, my stomach cleared and the symptoms disappeared. I was able to eat a sandwich take a nap.

    Normally I do not care about celebrity lifestyles, however I am very happy a celeb has openly admitted to such a problem. The unnecessary stigma attached to this issue needs to be eliminated.

    I don't know if the are called panic attacks but I get high anxiety over minor things. College, it is getting better. Sorta. I might of had a slight social anxiety thing going on... but sports did not help. I hated being in front of crowds and being judged and under pressure. Never been so nervous in my life. I contemplated breaking or twisting some limb so I'd have an excuse not to play but not have to quit. Before college started, like a week before, I would be sitting down and my heart would begin racing for no reason and I become super anxious about something I couldn't even put to mind. I tried the ABC game on my arm and it helped distract the feeling.. I've never collapsed or fainted or anything, which is why I don't know if they're panic attacks or not. I just get ridiculously nervous. I also over analyze every little thing that is said or done. Sometimes I take it better than other times. People wouldn't guess this because I'm generally a calm person who doesn't freak out over sticky situations and can laugh it off..

    I can relate with how she feels... I don't know how celebrities do it.

    I tend to have very high expectations of myself...and I also have a boyfriend that has very high expectations of himself and others. So the pressure tends to pile on from all angles and sometimes I just crack. It's the worst feeling ever...I can't breathe, I can't stop crying, I'm nauseous, and I certainly can't think enough to explain why I'm freaking out.

    I don't quite care to see anyone about it. I'll find a way to stop it. I wasn't always like this, so there's something to go back to somewhere.

    At least I haven't ever had it verified by a doctor. I get pretty stressed at times and have to remember to breathe, but I don't think I've experienced anything as intense as a panic attack. Maybe a mini one.

    Amanda eyes look like a panic attack. Panic attacks could be an underlying sign of heart disease. Could also be excessive expectations of one's self.

    I'm confused with what you mean. You can't just "get over" having anxiety problems. They are from some kind of chemical imbalance. Like with depression. My moms side of the family has it.

    It's an invisible problem that makes going through daily life quite problematic at times. And people would never guess, so they judge the person without knowing that the person is suffering.
  • El Prez Beanybudd 2011/10/11 21:10:26

    I get that. and maybe it does have something to do with chemical imbalance in some cases. I do not pretend to be a doctor or have a solution. I am just making an observation about myself and about all the news of anxiety, phobias and other behavioural problems. Anxiety, apprehension and fear are all part of every human. In some it seems to become exagerated to
    a fault. It seems to me that I had, and many of my generation had, people around us, family, friends and the military, who did not indulge us but encouraged by example and even force of a kind, to get us passed these exagerated expressions of natural feelings and fears. Now there seems to be more psyciatric "cures" being pushed on the wealthy and, by referance, to everyone. I once heard the question "How many nervous breakdown do you suppose happened in the Middle Ages?" The answer was "None, except for an odd king or queen". Lack of responsibility and indulgence seems to bring out these anomalies more and more. Everyone else in the Middle Ages was busy just trying to stay alive and had no time to explore their deeper "feelings". Bye the way, the young lady whose life was used to pose the orginal question, is a terrific actress. I do not mean to presume I know anything about your family's problems or that I have any kind of cure.
