British star Victoria Beckham revealed that she was seriously concerned with her health just before Christmas as she was struggling to cope with everything that was going on in her life. 

In a revealing interview with The Guardian newspaper, the singer and designer explained that the pressures of a new baby, her fashion line and travelling between the U.S. and the UK took a significant toll on her wellbeing and forced her to slow down:

"I left L.A. to come back to the U.K. for Christmas, not knowing whether I was leaving for two weeks or 18 months, so that brought with it a certain amount of anxiety. Of course I've got people to help me, but in the end there's a lot that only I can do. Finding new schools for the children isn't something anyone else can do for me."

"Plus the fact that this season (in fashion) is such a short one. It got to the point, just before Christmas, when for the first time ever, I wasn't actually sure if I could cope."

"I was working in London and the day I finished work, I went to bed and woke up at 4 o'clock in the morning with a chest infection and throat infection. I very rarely get sick - I can't remember the last time before that that I had a cold or anything - but I guess I was really feeling the pressure."
