She recalled \u201cfeeling physically paralyzed\u201d during the attacks, which were likely brought on by exhaustion:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThere was a time in my life where I used to sleep 3 to 5 hours a night. I\u2019d be on set all day and in the studio all night and doing junkets and filming videos on the weekends. I was in my late 20s and I thought I was invincible.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>We thought she was invincible at that time, too! We\u2019re talking about circa 2000s J.Lo \u2014 when she was delivering box office hits like <em>The Wedding Planner<\/em> AND Billboard toppers like <em>Love Don\u2019t Cost A Thing<\/em> at the same time!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Related: Shawn Mendes POSTPONES World Tour For Mental Health Reasons<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But the cost was only 3 to 5 hours of sleep a night?! That\u2019s torture! And one day it hit her. Hard. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">She continued:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cUntil one day, I was sitting in a trailer, and all the work and the stress it brought with it, coupled with not enough sleep to recuperate mentally, caught up with me.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We can\u2019t say we\u2019re too surprised after hearing about that schedule! She revealed:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201c[I] went from feeling totally normal to thinking about what I needed to do that day and all of a sudden I felt as if I couldn\u2019t move.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Then the symptoms got worse, as she explained she \u201cwas completely frozen\u201d and \u201ccouldn\u2019t see clearly,\u201d which only scared her more \u2014 \u201cand the fear compounded itself.\u201d Yikes! <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It was especially scary because panic attacks weren\u2019t nearly as well known back then. However, looking back on the situation the 52-year-old explained:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cNow I know it was a classic panic attack brought on by exhaustion, but I had never even heard the term at the time\u2026 My security guard on set came in and picked me up and drove me to the doctor. By the time I got there, I could at least speak again and I was so terrified I thought I was losing my mind.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That\u2019s surely a terrifying feeling, especially for someone who wasn\u2019t familiar with what it was!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As for the doctor\u2019s orders, she revealed:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cHe said, \u2018No, you\u2019re not crazy. You need sleep \u2026 get 7 to 9 hours of sleep per night, don\u2019t drink caffeine, and make sure you get your workouts in if you\u2019re going to do this much work.\u2019\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It seemed as though this was a major wake up call for the <em>Hustlers<\/em> star, as she explained:<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI realized how serious the consequences could be of ignoring what my body and mind needed to be healthy \u2013 and that\u2019s where my journey to wellness began.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>Related: JLo Gushes About \u2018Building A Family\u2019 With Ben Affleck!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That journey has definitely been paying off because she looks absolutely amazing! As for now, her goal is \u201cto live a very healthy and balanced life\u201d and is completely \u201cpro-living versus anti-aging.\u201d She also stresses the importance of getting plenty of sleep, which \u201caccumulates over time.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cSometimes I wake up and say, \u2018Wow! I just lost 10 years off my face!\u2019\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You go, J.Lo!
