"At one point I really thought my life was over, I was so depressed," Lucy says. "But somehow I managed to turn it around - I was so unlucky, but at the same time I'm so lucky to have persevered."

Lucy was in her final year studying criminology at the University of Leicester in 2016 when she became ill and underwent a complete personality change.

"Over the period of about a week my behaviour did a complete 180," the now 25-year-old says. "I went from being bubbly, lively and social to being completely depressed and crying all the time.

"I would say 'I'm fat, I'm ugly. Nobody likes me, I don't have a boyfriend, I'm going to fail my degree' - it was all things I'd never cared about before."

In the early hours of one morning, Lucy's housemates were woken by her screaming. They took her to hospital and were told she was experiencing panic attacks caused by stress. They gave Lucy breathing exercises and sent her home.

"I was rocking back and forward, my eyes were completely dilated and I had torn my bedroom to pieces," Lucy says. "I only have vague memories and flashbacks of this period.

"My mum and dad drove down and when they found me they were horrified - they were asking my housemates 'has she taken drugs or is there any chance she's been spiked?' and they told them: 'No chance'."
