In the interview, the singer also underlines how social media can affect this mental depression, but also how through it you can communicate with fans and help others, sharing your experience like Perry has done.

Recently Edwards, became the face of shoe brand Superga. In the interview, she explained how she stepped out on her first campaign, because it was very daunting at first. “At first, I’m not going to lie, I was like ‘argghh’, but it’s been really good.” she said.
Nowadays, more and more young people suffer from mental health issues, and thanks to well known people, who post their own experience on social media, it can help them go on and don’t feel so different and lonely. Ellie Goulding and Fearne Cotton‘s experience helped her not to feel like the only one who was suffering. “It’s not the first time it’s happened, I haven’t just survived a heart attack” she said.
“When I first started experiencing the panic attacks, I developed a fear of being on my own. It’s a lot better than it was, I kept thinking, ‘if I’m on my own and I have a panic attack, what do I do?’. […] I wouldn’t be able to leave the house feeling normal.” she openly confessed.
But with time she overcame, step by step. “It was like learning to walk again, it was so bizarre. Once I overcame one thing, once I went out the house a bit more, my mum didn’t have to come to work with me anymore and I was fine. Then I started travelling on my own. I can get in a car and go to Manchester and I’m fine. I’m still a bit uneasy about the train.”
