For This Is Us star Chrissy Metz, it took a health scare to snap her out of her deep depression and get her health on track.
In the latest issue of People, Metz opened up about a terrifying panic attack she experienced on her 30th birthday, just hours before she was set to attend a birthday bash thrown by her then-husband.
“I’m like, What is this? Am I dying? What’s happening?” Metz explained. “It was really scary — really, really, really scary.”
Metz checked into a hospital and was diagnosed with a panic attack, but she says the event changed her outlook and motivated her to lose 100 pounds.
