Singer Seo In-young revealed that she spent eight years mostly sleeping due to panic disorder.
On the Nov. 12 episode of E Channel's variety show "Seo In-young's Trend Know-it-all," TV personality Jung Hyung-don joined Seo and Mimi Minu for a discussion about anxiety.
The show introduced various ways to cope with anxiety. Watching the segment, Jung said, "It's both sad and desperate. I also take medication when I feel anxious. It's the same thing. People just have different ways of finding stability, and there's nothing strange about that."
Jung, who has previously suffered from panic disorder, cited sleep as one of the ways he coped with anxiety.
Seo then shared her own experience, saying, "I spent almost all of my time sleeping for eight years. I couldn't go to crowded places, and I couldn't even step over the threshold of my room. I ate and slept in bed."
Jung said, "People who experience a lot of anxiety have their own ways of finding comfort. I don't think they need to stop just because others might find those methods a little strange."
He offered words of encouragement to those trying to overcome anxiety in their own ways, saying, "Anxiety is something you can live with."
