Pink said she turned to meditating, healthy eating, surrounding herself with the right people and using a \"spiritual toolbox\" that she keeps under her bed to help manage the panic attacks.

What has helped the most, she noted, is music: \"Writing songs is probably the thing that has saved my life.\"

\"I will tell you - from being a very, very afraid seven-, eight-, 13-, 23-, 31- and now 42-year-old woman -- it does get better and there are beautiful moments waiting for you,\" she said. \"And there are beautiful people waiting to love you, and one of those people is yourself.\"

Pink is partnering with the nonprofit Child Mind Institute to promote its \"Dare to Share\" campaign, which encourages children to be open about their own mental health.
