Candace Cameron Bure reveals she has PTSD from her time co-hosting The View, and recalled how she would often cry before filming the show.  

Candace, 45, hosted the show for just one year, but the anxiety from her co-hosting stint has remained a vivid memory even five years after departing from the show.

'The stress and the anxiety — I actually have a pit in my stomach right now,' Candace said on the Behind The Table podcast.
