She may live in a beautiful house in California, but that doesn’t mean Patsy Palmer is immune from the stress and anxiety that COVID-19 has brought on all of us.

The former EastEnders actor has admitted that at times, like most of us, she’s felt ‘overwhelmed’ and ‘scared’.

But rather than let negative thoughts consume her, Patsy, who is mum to Charley, Fenton, Emilia and Bertie, has decided to focus on the positives, with the help of daily meditation.

Now, Patsy has managed to de-stress and focus on what really matters – her family.

BIG CHANGES

Sharing her struggles on Instagram, Patsy, 47, posted, ‘Yesterday I became very overwhelmed whilst having dinner. I didn’t say anything because my little boy was sitting there and like any of us, we want to keep happy so that the kids do not become scared at this time.

‘I felt a great loss of little things. I’m a social butterfly – I like speaking to people, I enjoy coffee in the morning, I like getting out even for a little while. I love hugging, I love groups of friends laughing and dancing.’

A few days later, seemingly more upbeat, she revealed, ‘Today was strange coming to terms with all this. Everything about it was magical.
