Are you (HFA)? High Functioning & Anxious

Kendall Jenner, Lena Dunham and Taylor Swift have a lot in common. But apart from the riches, the fame and being all round incredible women, they’ve each admitted to suffering from something that’s had a massive impact on their successful careers: anxiety.

‘I cannot believe 4 million people are looking at what I’m doing at all times. It kinda freaks me out and gives me anxiety,’ admitted Kendall, 20, who’s just landed her first Vogue cover and bought her second £5 million house in Malibu.

Meanwhile, Adele, who turned down the chance to perform at America’s Super Bowl, has confessed that playing in front of large audiences can cause her to suffer anxiety attacks. The 28-year-old singer’s revealed: ‘One show in Amsterdam I was so nervous, I escaped out of the fire exit. I’ve thrown up a couple of times. Once, in Brussels, I projectile vomited on someone. I just gotta bear it. But I don’t like touring. I have anxiety attacks a lot.
