Emma Stone was 14 years old when she convinced her parents to let her conquer Hollywood, but there was once a time she didn’t think she would be able to leave her native Arizona to pursue her dreams.

The 28-year-old actress opened up about her struggles with anxiety in a new video for the Child Mind Institute, a nonprofit for children with mental health disorders, and recounted how she once thought the condition would affect her forever.

‘I truly, as a kid, did not think I would be able to ever move away from home or to be away from people that I had separation anxiety with,’ she said in the candid clip. ‘I’ve been able to manage that with great therapists and great cognitive behavioral tools – meditation and lots of things.’
