She continued: "I've had anxiety since I was a child and when I was a child, my mum took me to the doctors and the doctor first diagnosed asthma because I couldn't get a deep breath. So they ended up giving me inhalers when I was about 11 thinking that it was asthma but it wasn't, it was anxiety."
In a recent update, Samia shed further light on how her fight against anxiety personally affects her. Taking to Instagram, she shared a view of her nails, some looking visibly sore around the cuticles.
Her caption read: "I always pick my fingers until they hurt when I'm overthinking. "I do it without realising... When my gingers look like this I know I need to slow my thoughts down... #anxiety 'honesttruth #monkeymind."
Samia also posted a GIF that read: "Mental Health Matters," before noting: "Need to do my nails asap
