Holly Hagan reveals she went to therapy to combat thoughts about death amid anxiety battle

Holly Hagan revealed she sought help from a therapist as she stressed about the prospect of death amid her anxiety battle.

The former Geordie Shore star, 28, took to Instagram on Thursday to share her experience with counselling after feeling overwhelmed with ‘weird’ thoughts about her fiancé Jacob Blyth passing away.

Sharing tips with fellow social media users who had dealt with the same issue, the influencer declared: ‘Nothing good ever comes from worrying’.

The reality TV star went make-up free as she detailed how she overcame her fears, stating: ‘I’ve had quite a lot of DMs after the Geordie Shore OG episode last night where I speak about my anxiety around Jacob dying. 

‘I got upset when I spoke about it, it’s so weird… you’ll never really understand these thoughts unless you have them, and even then you don’t really understand them. It’s not very nice at all. 

‘The amount of people who are going through the same thing but have never heard anyone speak about it before is actually mind-blowing.’

Holly – who frequently details her mental health journey – added: ‘There was one thing that helped me. I went to see a therapist on the show. If I am dealing with this, I might as well be honest about it. 

‘People thought I was ridiculous and even Jacob couldn’t really get his head around it. The therapist told me ”nothing good ever comes from worrying” and for some reason that sentence just stuck in my head. 

‘Even if the worst of the worst did happen, me worrying about it didn’t do anything. The majority of our worries are just worries and don’t often come true, so nothing good ever comes from worrying!’ 

In September, the TV star revealed she didn’t leave the house for two years due to online trolling.

The blonde shot to fame on Geordie Shore in 2011, when she was just aged 19, and said constant comments about her appearance affected her greatly.  

Holly reflected: ‘All these people that I knew were making Facebook groups about me, were writing statuses about me, were shouting things at me in the street and from that point, I don’t think I left the house alone for about two years.’ 

Her friend, Tom, recalled the effects that online trolling had on Holly and their friendship, as he revealed: ‘I think the worst time was when she had anxiety about leaving the house and she felt like she was imprisoned in her own home. 

‘We both didn’t drive at the time so we had to get taxis everywhere so that was another added stress and we couldn’t sort of escape quick, we didn’t have a car there.’

The former party girl insisted things got better when she met her footballer partner Jacob, 28, who ‘loves every part of her’.
