Story summary
Will Friedle, known for playing Eric Matthews on the ABC show *Boy Meets World*, was recently hospitalized after experiencing severe blood in his urine. The incident occurred during New York Comic Con when he was 50 years old.

Friedle has been open about his long-term struggles with anxiety since he first experienced it at age 23. He disclosed that during an early phase of managing his anxiety, he gained significant weight due to medication and felt his life spiraling out of control. However, as he's aged, Friedle has learned better coping mechanisms for dealing with the condition.
