Ellie Goulding

On October 14, 2019 the 32-year-old singer took to Instagram to discuss her experience with anxiety and imposter syndrome. Nothing could have prepared her for the “ups and downs” that come with performing, she shared, but she credits running and boxing with helping her manage her anxiety.

On Instagram she wrote: “Although it is so hard sometimes to be motivated, the feeling of blood pumping through my veins and a human body performing the way it so impressively does reminds me how cool it is to be alive.”

Goulding also opened up about her grandfather’s death by suicide, saying

she wished she had spoken to him more and knew how unhappy he was. She ended her post by reminding her fans that they are doing amazingly and she is proud of them.
