- Bass player Connor Ball from The Vamps opens up and gets help for his Generalised Anxiety Disorder, Panic Attacks & Depression.
With millions of followers worldwide and sell-out arena shows, The Vamps have the world at their feet, but for their bassist, Connor Ball, there’s a downside to all the success. Connor suffers with generalised anxiety disorder, panic attacks and depression. This prevents him from enjoying so many incredible moments that others would give anything to do.
For example, after playing for Prince Charles at the Princes’ Trust, the band met with Prince Charles, except Connor whose anxiety got the better of him and therefore he had to leave. He avoids red carpet events and interviews, and suffering so much he sought help from various doctors and psychiatrists who diagnosed him with generalised anxiety disorder, panic attacks and depression. After ineffective therapy and medication, Connor contacted Nik and Eva in the hope they could help him.

this is amazing I love the boys so much and to hear that Connor had anxiety, panic attacks and depression made me feel really upset and when u was starting to cry I was crying with him, him and the boys mean so much to me, well done Connor for speaking about this, it must have been so hard, I love u so much, I'm meeting u and the boys next year in Cambridge for the 4 corners tour and I cant wait to meet u, u and the boys have inspired me so much to sing and that's what my CZcams channel is about. I spoke to James Mcvey about my bullying on LBC live radio and just to speak to one of u on the phone made my day, just seeing ur tweets on twitter and ur posts on Instagram makes my days better, I'm so grateful to have u 4 boys as my idols and I couldn't ask for better idols and inspirations, I hope one day to be in a pop group and achieve as much as u and the boys have done, u 4 more the world to me, thanks for all the support, I will defiantly support u boys all the time, u always teach me to dream big and to never give up on ur dreams and to do what u love to do the most and I am so thankful, I love u and the boys so so so much, ill see u very soon, so much love- Eve xxxx PS if anyone sees this please send the link to Connor or screen shot this and tweet Connor about it because I would really like him to see this as he means the absolute world to me. thanks u xxx
Connor was very brave speaking out, but asking for help has changed his life and he has given a great example to so many others.
The Speakmans - The Worlds Leading Life Change Therapists thank u so much for speaking to him, ur amazing cx
@@nikandevaspeakman yes he was so brave.
Seeing connor break down was so tough..
.i cried too
Honestly I cried watching this. I just love him so much, and seeing him cry makes me cry :(
I absolutely love The Vamps, and to hear just now that Con had panick attacks and anxiety makes me so sad! But I’m so so glad he got the help he needed‼️ love him so much💕
This hit me so hard! The way they explained being diagnosed with an anxiety order and how the person sees it as them being broken, absolutely hit the nail on the head for me.
4:27seeing con crying its make me cry also
Don't worry though as he is okay now.
The Speakmans - The Worlds Leading Life Change Therapists thank you😧
Omg I never realised Connor went through this , it's amazing that he is able to speak to this and there are people out there that support him and the band
i cant watch connor break down like this
I think a lot of people relate with Connor more than he knows. I've had times where I had to fake being ill to avoid social things or I've had breakdowns before going to college and I have panic attacks when I get to college. I'd like to speak to a doctor if Connor can, that in itself is nerve wracking xx Thanks for making this happen 😁
It takes a lot to speak out. When you do though and admit you are struggling people are always willing to help x
@@nikandevaspeakman Thank you so much for the reply!! would you recommend therapy? xx
@@bethanygoldsworthy9573 Yes Cognitive Behavioural Therapy can be very effective. x
@@nikandevaspeakman I've been struggling a lot so far and I'm hopefully going to get a lot done with my problem and I'll most likely get a diagnosis 😁😁 x
Its okay Connor.
Just always sorround yourself with good friends who you can talk anything under the sun.
This is incredible , I idolise Connor what an incredible human
Connor speaking up about depression makes me feel so much better about me because it just makes me feel like I’m not alone and someone understands
ive loved these boys since i was 7, so for half of my life. And to me, I've always "preferred" connor because even as a kid, i had such bad anxiety that i barely did anything but sit and read alone. so growing up and watching interviews of them, i saw how anxious he would seem and that's what really got me invested in them. seeing somebody in the spotlight struggle with what i do. and as i got older, their music became a safe haven for me. I fell in love with their music and humor. i always experience less and less panic attacks whenever i listened to their music. And now, at 14, it's been nearly 2 weeks since I got to experience their music live. it's been 2 weeks since i saw the boys who saved my life. its been 2 weeks since i saw the man who showed me that anxiety & depression was going to knock me down and try to drown me for the longest time but i would always take in more air everytime before i went under. Honestly, without Connor teaching me anxiety was normal, I never would've seeked help. I wouldn't be alive today. I owe it all to them. I owe it all to Connor.
I feel so bad for Connor. I deal with Anxiety panic attacks and Depression as well I relate to Connor.
Just shows that no one is immune. Our session helped make a great difference, and there’s lots of films here on our channel that may help make a difference to you too. If you’re struggling though, do speak to your doctor as well 💕

this is amazing. ive been a big fan to them since 2013 and to hear this story from connor that he´s been dealing with depression and anxiety makes me feel better because ive been going through some really hard times as well.. they saved my life by just talking about that its okay not to be okay sometimes and their music. i love them more than anything and im so proud of Connor!
So glad to hear Connor speaking out helped you Elin. Do also subscribe & check out the other videos on our channel with tips and advice to help with anxiety, depression etc as these will hopefully help you too 🥰
Oh my god I am crying my eyes out right now I had no idea😭
Thats so sweet! It just goes to show that you never really know what people are struggling with behind a brave face, which is why we should always treat people with kindness. x
So happy for him.
I thought they found the source very easily. I don't think I can pin my anxiety onto one thing
I wish I could get help, it's getting desperate
If you are willing to look, you can always find the triggers as no one is born with anxiety. Sometimes it just takes a bit longer than others. x
@@nikandevaspeakman it's knowing where to get the help
Where I live there is not alot of support apart of being advised to take more medication. I've done 5 lots of CBT and councilling and nothing seems to help. Been ill since 2014 but can trace problems back to when I was about 11
Feel like I'm never going to get better and loosing hope
How can I get to see you?
Being a victim of social anxiety myself I understand what he is going through. Lots of love Connor.
Connor was so lovely to work with and we are so pleased that he is now panic attack free.
Wow this warms my heart. Love you, Con!
Connor is amazing.
I love Connor so much bless him ❤️❤️
I love you connor💗
You’ve done amazing Connor 💖
Amazing 😊 well done Conor and well done to Nic and Eva xx
Thank you x
Please come to the USA we need you or please sell training to therapists here. Thank you for all that you do and for sharing this with us and giving us struggling hope.
I know Nik and Eva would love to train therapists in the USA. Once they have finished the scientific studies with the universities I know that its on their agenda.
I am 11yers old I
Only helping celebs what about us normal people.
Nik and Eva work with 'normal people' on a daily basis, in fact you will find films of them working with normal people on here and more will be added soon. Just because someone is a celebrity doesn't mean they shouldn't receive.
The Speakmans - The Worlds Leading Life Change Therapists the amount of times ive emailed and asked for help and had a reply saying there diary is fully booked.
@@anneka88 Hi Alan, The office receive over a thousand emails every week, please don't take it personally, you have simply not been offered a private appointment as they have been booked up for years. TV appearances create more awareness that anyone can get better, celebrities deserve help just like anyone else. In view of the diary being fully booked The Speakmans host more events and workshops all over the UK, hopefully you could get to one of those?
Wow that is not good corner
Fortunately we helped him overcome his anxieties and he is great now.
