Miranda Hart revealed on Facebook on Wednesday that she has hurt her ankle and can't walk properly as she opened up about her extreme fear of healthcare
She said: 'The reality behind this slightly odd selfie is that I have gone over on my ankle and I can't walk properly. I need to get a friend to take me to a physio. I feel exhausted.
'And I am very anxious as anything medical is a massive fear so even going to a physio clinic is terrifying for me.
'I may be able to get on stage at the O2 and do a stand up set but I am a wreck even walking or driving past a hospital for example.'
Elsewhere in the post, Miranda wrote: 'Right so here's me no make up, no filter (nothing new there if you know me!). I am aware that even lying down taking a selfie like that can still be misunderstood. Due to some fame and success, and even without, we can project anything and everything on to photos we see online.
'You might think "look at her, not a care in the world". I know I have done that myself in the past. And it's why I choose not to follow all friends on social media but use it for learning, inspiration and charitable work. That's not the point.
'The point is this - a friend of mine told me today that someone had said to her that her life was perfect and she shouldn't complain (by looking at ) and my friend went home and cried. Her life is not perfect (nobody's is) and in her case she has been through a lot including a stroke at a young age.
'I am saying nothing new about the upset caused by projection and comparison. But I think as bad is when people feel misunderstood and unheard because of another's projection.
'We all need to treat ourselves as fellow humans in a struggle at the same time in history. Circumstances do not dictate the internal.'
She concluded the post with: 'I am not going to share my life story right now! But that's a snippet behind this silly pic. And I am definitely not complaining about it. "It is what it is".

'To all those that compare or project, as you start to feel intrigue and compassion to people behind their external mask you will be able to show that kindness to yourself too, and that's where freedom & change begins.'
It took medics 33 years to discover Miranda had been battling with the bacterial infection Lyme Disease, after initially .
The star then shared that she was also diagnosed with ME,
In an extract from her book I Haven't Been Entirely Honest with You, which she shared in her monthly newsletter, Miranda offered an insight into the height of her health struggles while doctors failed to find the cause of her symptoms.
The comedian, who also shared in her book she had married surveyor Richard Fairs, admitted that she felt increasingly 'alone' as it no one seemed to understand the height of her struggles.
Miranda wrote: 'As I continued to study the scientists on this matter, another phrase stood out. They would say, ''There's nothing wrong here right now.'' What?!
'Oh, it seemed not only implausible, but downright mean. Frankly, I would have punched someone in the face had they coolly said this to me when I was collapsed with exhaustion. I would have shouted, um, excuse me, but EVERYTHING is wrong.
'I can't get out of bed. I'm alone. No one understands. My dreams and hopes for my life are fading away. Nothing is right, right now. It's wrong. And that's why it's also blooming awful. I'm all full of wrong, so, and I mean this with no disrespect at all, go away, thank you to you!'
She went onto add: 'I'm welling up thinking of the myriad stories of people hit with ghastly events, but who heroically keep taking the next breath. Please applaud yourself, and whatever you feel like a warrior about right now.
'The scientists even suggest it's possible to get to, to get to 'okay, this is what is meant to be happening in this moment, so I can accept it and live it'.

'I mean, that's ninja level supernatural calmery, and I'm still amazed when I get anywhere near close to it. All I know for sure is that through acceptance, a lot of suffering can be eased.
'Or rather, suffering about the suffering. I knew that physical and emotional pain, darkness of all kinds, was an uncontrollable part of life.
'And now came the notion that much of that pain is actually caused by the resistance to pain. Focusing on pain, fear of the pain, judging the pain.
'They were not telling me to deny my situation and illness, but instead saying that if I confronted it compassionately, instead of furiously wanting it to go away, perhaps I could bend towards finding a way to accept it. The alternative wasn't working.
'Every time I wished my symptoms to be different, every time I protested being bed or housebound, I was only adding fuel to an already stressful situation.
'I was frightening myself, like I was constantly watching a bad newsreel. OK, I concede. The theory makes sense.'
The comedian rose to fame with her self-titled sitcom series in 2009 and went on to star in Call The Midwife as Chummy from 2012 until 2015.
However the star didn't return for the sixth series of the BBC drama after reports she was suffering from ill health.
