When Bea organised the support Marcus against Noirin campaign.
When she did her anti -Noirin spin in the house and DR Freddie and the forums were laughing their heads off and wanted her to keep it up. Now that she has turned her attention to him he is having panic attacks and sobbing like a baby and his supporters want her boiled in oil.
Madeline, please don't mock Freddie's panic attacks. He suffers from asthma and has had a panic attack before in the house. I also suffer from asthma and have had panic attacks, so I know what they are like. They are very real and not at all nice. People are too quick to say that they are in your head or you are just putting it on.
The house is a very intense place, especially as they probably don't get enough sleep, which puts an extra stress on the body. In that environment and circumstances, it must be very easy to get emotional, and knowing that everyone is watching you, must make you feel even worse. Also, he can't escape. In real life, you can keep away from people if you want and you can cry in private.
He has now said that he is giving up cigarettes, which is probably not the best thing to do at this time, because he will have the added stress of withdrawal symptoms.
