Emma Stone had her first panic attack at the age of seven, a moment that marked the beginning of her battle with anxiety. The actress vividly recalls the overwhelming feeling of believing her friend's house was burning down, leading to a persistent fear that plagued her for years.
Seeking help from a mental health expert at a young age, Stone found solace in therapy. Through drawing a picture of herself standing next to a miniature green monster symbolizing anxiety, she began to confront and manage her feelings. This experience taught her the empowering message that she was 'bigger than her anxiety.'
