'I'm coping with the symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) after Manchester attack' says Ariana Grande
Ariana Grande spoke about experiencing post-traumatic stress disorder after the suicide bomb attack on her Manchester Arena concert in May 2017 that killed 22 people.
In an interview with British Vogue, Grande said: “Yeah, it’s a real thing. I know those families and my fans, and everyone there experienced a tremendous amount of it as well.
“It’s hard to talk about because so many people have suffered such severe, tremendous loss … I feel like I shouldn’t even be talking about my own experience – like I shouldn’t even say anything. I don’t think I’ll ever know how to talk about it and not cry.”
Ariana Grande says she doesn't think she'll ever be able to talk about the Manchester Arena bombing without crying.
"Time is the biggest thing. I feel like I shouldn't even be talking about my own experience - like I shouldn't even say anything.
"I don't think I'll ever know how to talk about it and not cry."
Ariana Grande features on the cover of the July 2018 issue of the magazine.
Last month she revealed she had a bee tattoo as tribute to the victims of the bombing.
