Ireland Baldwinis once again getting candidabout her mental healthafter suffering from an anxiety attack.
On Saturday, the 26-year-old model shared photos of herself sitting on the bathroom floor toInstagramas she tried to calm herself down.
“It’s ✨anxiety attack time✨,” she began her post. “This morning I had one cup of coffee on an empty stomach which turned into an anxiety attack! I am currently writing this from the bathroom floor.”
“I usually sit here like this or lay in fetal position until I can’t cry or throw up anymore. Coffee is [a] major esophageal irritator and reflux trigger for me which leads to anxiety. If you are an anxiety sufferer like myself, coffee isn’t your friend,” Baldwin continued.
Her famous fatherAlec Baldwinresponded to the note, commenting, “I love you.” “Oh honey. No caffeine for us. You got this. Ice ur chest if you can. 🫂 ❤️,“Brittany Furlan Leeadded.

“There are so many moments I have taken for granted in this life due to my lack of presence,” she wrote alongside a photo of a beach at sunset.
“I have overlooked countless blessings and opportunities to start fresh, and I have neglected, manipulated, and lied to the people I hold dear to my heart, but more importantly, to myself … For the longest time, I lost compassion towards almost everything I previously cared for and I was so lost in darkness, that I could hardly hold a real conversation with another human being long enough before I was due to have an anxiety attack and find my way out of it,” Ireland noted.

Last month, Ireland shared she uses a blood pressure machine as a precaution to prevent her from having a heart attack.
“This is not an ad for a blood pressure machine. This is not an ad at all. I am posting this for whoever suffers with anxiety and anxiety disorders like I do,” she explained anInstagrampost featuring a snapshot of herself holding the device.
“I ordered a blood pressure monitor to accurately read my heart rate and blood pressure because I live in a constant fear that I’m dying from a heart attack … also known as cardiophobia,” Ireland wrote.
As she concluded her post, Ireland offered advice to her followers, writing, “Hold on to your comfort item right. Don’t let people make you feel guilty for having to take a walk or take some space or stay home because you’re not feeling good. Surround yourself with people who understand or at least try to. And if you’re feeling anxious right now … deep breaths. You’re going to be ok. :)”
