Reflecting on that time, Goulding said her “lowest days were ridiculously low” and she often felt “complete euphoria and utter terror” within the same week.
The singer who’s book Fitter. Calmer. Stronger recently released reads: “My low days used to be ridiculously low. I just couldn’t find a way out of them. I often felt as if I was failing because when I felt down I wasn’t being productive. My voice, my music and writing will always be my mysterious, unpredictable, fiery friend for life.” “But even if I write something I love, I can’t always rely on it to make me feel good. I often write my best songs when I’m feeling miserable,” she adds in her book, as reported by The Sun.

In her book, Goulding looked back on being in a hospital after suffering from a panic attack after a close friend’s father passed away.
