Anurag Kashyap's daughter Aaliyah on dealing with anxiety and depression from her early teenage years: 'I was going to die!'

Updated : Apr 25, 2021, 12:57 IST715 views

Anurag Kashyap’s daughter Aaliyah Kashyap has not entered Bollywood yet, but the diva is already an internet sensation. The star kid enjoys a massive fan following and leaves no stone unturned to impress her followers with her stunning posts. Recently, Aaliyah talked about battling serious mental health issues and how her severe anxiety attacks landed her in the hospital. The diva revealed that she has been dealing with anxiety and depression from her early teenage years. She said, 'I have always dealt with anxiety and depression since I was a teenager, so maybe since I was 13-14. I have always dealt with it on and off but it has never been bad to the point where I couldn't cope. It has always been easy for me to snap out of it. If I really wanted to snap out of it, I could. It was all in my head, it never bothered me to the point where it was like ruining my life. It wasn't interfering with my life. Like I would feel depressed and anxious, but I could snap out of it'. Talking about how her mental health deteriorated after she tested positive for COVID-19 last year, Aaliyah said, 'Since then, I just haven’t been able to snap out of it, which is weird for me, because usually, it is so easy for me to just snap out of it. I’ll do a therapy or counselling session and I’ll be fine for months or weeks. But it was really hard for me after November. I was just super low, constantly crying, feeling like there was no purpose to my life, like I didn’t want to exist or do anything. I thought I was a burden on everyone else and all of these negative interrupting thoughts in my head that obviously aren’t true. But that is what it felt like.' Narrating an incident that happened in December 2020, Aaliyah said, 'I just completely broke down and I was in the hospital for severe panic attacks... Which is why my parents flew down here because they were worried about me. The starkid also revealed a recent incident that happened with her on April 10 this year as she said, 'Suddenly, my body became numb, completely numb. My heart started beating really fast. I started sweating. My body started violently trembling. Literally, I was like, ‘I am dying’. It felt like this was it for me and I was going to die. Mind you, I have had panic attacks before but nothing like this, ever. So I didn’t know what I was having was a panic attack and not a heart attack or stroke.' Talking about the reason why she decided to come out with her story Aaliyah said that she wants to assure anyone else going through something similar that they are not alone and also urged them to get professional help.
