A business owner has revealed how she overcame debilitating panic attacks caused by bullying and is now “living her best life”.

Vicky Owens, 24, struggled to get through secondary school due to severe bullying. Classmates would throw food at her, tell her to “kill herself” - and even poured yoghurt and ketchup over her in the school canteen. The torment led to her suffering from severe panic disorder - causing her to black out.

Now, after being prescribed medication, she runs her own six-figure business, and wants to teach other kids how to overcome mental health issues.
