Sarah Geronimo revealed having panic and anxiety attacks.

During her acceptance speech for her historic award "Woman of the Year" at the 1st Billboard Philippines Women in Music Awards, Sarah also opens up that she, too, has had panic and anxiety attacks.

“Alam kong mahirap but let’s not allow ourselves to be consumed by these negative thoughts. Let’s focus on our strenghts. Be patient. Work on improving ourselves. Keep in mind na okay lang na hindi ka perfect kasi nga nobody’s perfect.

Meron mga timelines and standards para sa ating mga kababaihan o sa ating mga artists na kapag nagpahinga ka, hindi ka na nila kilala, laos ka na, but through time, I realized it’s okay to defy them. We all have a voice and we always have the choice. We don’t have to pressure ourselves to fit the mold, and I am aware, Diyos ko, napaka-ingay ng social media. I am aware that there’s too much noise especially now with presence of social media, but we don’t have to cave in to peer pressure.

Speak only your truth, speak what’s in your heart. Don’t be afraid to carve your own path as long as you walk in love and you walk in faith with God. You are in the right track.” -Sarah
