Emma Stone opens up about lifelong struggle with anxiety

I benefitted in a big way from therapy.

This is me, I guess.

Its really great artistry with my shoes and then this is anxiety here, she said of her drawing.

But I didnt mean for it to be hormonally related in any way.

Like I said, I was 9.

Stone teamed up with the non-profit organization Child Mind Institutefor a video campaign earlier this year.

She recalled thinking shed never move away from home, but has since developed tools to combat those feelings.

Ina 2012 interview withVogue, theLa La Landactress said she would be immobilized by anxiety.

I didnt want to go to my friends houses or hang out with anybody, and nobody really understood.

What helped her and what she repeated onThe Late ShowTuesday was performance.

[Acting] helped me so much, improv helped me so much, she told Colbert.

I mean, I still have anxiety to this day, not panic attacks knock on wood.
