"I am a nervous flyer but it was a smooth flight, the attack came on quickly, I suddenly felt like I couldn’t breathe and for about an hour, I truly believed they would need to divert to the nearest hospital because I was moments from my death. "I know that may sound dramatic, but those who have experienced a panic attack will know, there is no rational thought process, you get so stuck in your own head and your mind just runs wild." She continued: "I posted photos where I look happy and smiling, but for the first few days after, the shockwaves from the panic attack left me feeling frazzled and overly sensitive. "I haven’t had a panic attack like that for nearly 9 months and the last one triggered my decision to stop drinking alcohol." Moving on, Millie said: "Now I have had some time to reflect and a chat.
