‘This year has also been the hardest of my life. I have struggled day, night, hour by hour with a kind of panic that I didn’t even know existed,” he told fans of him.

“While the moments of being on stage in front of all of you have been some of the most exhilarating and calming, this year I’ve been struggling.”

She continued: ‘If I were to really think about it, my anxiety has dictated so much of my life and career, and I feel sad about it.

“But it’s also made me who I am, and sometimes at my most terrified, when I feel like there’s no escaping the panic and fear in my heart and brain, I remind myself that I can feel,” she continued.

“I know many of you reading this are feeling this same pain, and at the same time, many of you may not have experienced it, but chances are you know someone who has struggled.”

Ellie ended her post by urging others who might feel the same way to speak to those around them, saying she believes 2022 will be a “bright” and “positive” year.
