Anne-Marie has spoken out about her anxiety and how it has stopped her from "thinking normally" over the past decade.
The 28-year-old singer admitted that there were times when the condition made it hard for her to leave the house
Speaking to Glamour magazine, Anne-Marie said: "If I look back at the last seven to 10 years of my life, I can't remember them, that time in my life is gone.
"Anxiety almost blocked me from thinking normally and remembering things, because I was so anxious about everything."
She went on to say that there were times when she couldn't see a way through to the next day.
Anne-Marie continued: "I thought I was going to die. I thought my family were going to die and that was mixed with a lot of things like OCD, which added to the anxiety as well.
"I regularly found it hard to leave the house."
The chart-topping singer said she has "literally done everything you can do" to try to combat her anxiety, adding: "I tried therapy, hypnotherapy.
"Googling about anxiety helped a lot and listening to other people's stories.
"I think hypnotherapy was really a big part of it. I guess talking and listening to other people helped."
However she said that while she has not fully got over her anxiety, she experienced a turning point last year.
"I think it was just one day around January 2019," she said.
"I woke up and sat in my living room, and I felt like I was actually here and actually experiencing my experiences.
"I think it was after the hypnotherapy, after the learning that there is never a straightforward answer to how you get over it."
