The ator recently spoke out about finally seeing a psychiatrist who diagnosed him with anxiety.
He said to try to beat it he took medication, pushed himself in the gym and shared his thoughts on Twitter.
But now he reveals he finally has control of the gruelling condition after retraining his brain.
He said: “Everyone has a mental trigger that can help with recovery.
“For me, it was thinking, ‘Do I want to be surrounded by my family on my deathbed wishing I had worried more?’
“No, I didn’t. That was a eureka moment. So now I just let things go. I’ve learned to train my brain not to hold on to stuff that doesn’t matter.”
Simon revealed in 2019 that he suffered with anxiety after a BBC documentary about the condition explained how, in its severest form, it can interrupt a sufferer’s ability to carry out typical day-to-day tasks.
He called it a “hidden, awful” condition and revealed he had gone through therapy for it, to try to encourage others to get help.
