Goldie Hawn revealed that she faced mental health issues during her rising career.

The 78-year-old actress, who started her acting career in 1960, opened up about her mental health struggles on a recent episode of Making space with Hoda Kotb aired on November 20.

Hawn said as soon as she got her first major role on the 1967 sitcom Good morning world she ‘became anxious and I started having little panic attacks’

“I didn’t want to do that. I was a dancer. I just got my feet wet,” Hawn told the host.

She went on to say, “I called home. And I said, ‘Mom, you’re not going to believe this. You know, they wrote a part for me.’ And then I started getting anxious and having little panic attacks. I realized that every time I went into a restaurant or some other place, I felt dizzy and wanted to go home.

The Death becomes her Star further noted that she was “a happy kid”, but with her growing career, things started to change.

“I didn’t know what happened to my joy… I tried to fake my smile. I’ll never forget that. It’s the scariest thing that’s ever happened to me.”

During the shooting of one of the sitcom’s scenes, Hawn said, “I had to go back to my dressing room to pull myself together because I didn’t know when another panic attack was going to happen.”

“I learned about myself, I learned how to forgive, and as I became wildly successful, I learned how to control other people’s perception of me because they didn’t know me,” she added.
