Elizabeth Olsen used to have panic attacks "almost every hour". The 35-year-old actress has revealed she suffered the attacks multiple times a day and her triggers included everything from temperature changes and hunger levels to wearing high heels. She told The Observer newspaper: "[It was] multiple times [a day], like, almost every hour! .
.. It was literally, like, any time there was a shift in something: hot to cold, hungry to full.
I thought, ‘Oh, is this OK?’ And then it would spiral and it just became this habit." Olsen had to learn how to "interrupt the thinking process" and "figure out how to have some control", adding: "You learn very quickly who you feel comfortable around and who you don’t." She went on to reveal she also ditched wearing high heels - and if she had to wear them for a public event she put them on for a very brief period before taking them straight off again.
She added: "People thought it was a feminist choice. Like, nah! If I wear them and I’m standing in front of you guys, I’m gonna panic. I’d rather have my feet on the ground.
" Olsen explained she's also had a fear of rollercoasters and a recent trip in a helicopter on the press tour for her new movie 'His Three Daughters' left her traumatised. She said: "It was my first time in a helicopter. I hated it so much.
It was like being on a rollercoaster for an hour and a half, even though it was probably 45 minutes. It was brutal. It wasn’t for me.
I just thought about dying the whole tim.
