Candace Cameron Bure Recalls 'PTSD' From Time On 'The View': 'It Was So Difficult'

Candace Cameron Bure is getting candid about the struggles she faced during her time on "The View."

Cameron Bure, 45, co-hosted "The View" from 2015 to 2016 for Seasons 19 and 20. While the "Fuller House" alum learned a lot during her time at the show, she is glad that her stint is over.

"The stress and the anxiety — I actually have a pit in my stomach right now," she said on this week's episode of the ABC show's "Behind the Table" podcast. "There was only one type of stress that I've ever felt in my life, that came from that show. And I [have] PTSD, like, I can feel it. It was so difficult, and to manage that emotional stress was very, very hard."

Cameron Bure admitted she felt "pressure" to represent conservatives on national TV and found the topics being discussed every day challenging.

"[I was] just trying to understand and have a general grasp of topics that I didn't want to talk about or didn't care about," she explained.

It soon took its toll on her body and subsequently affected her "emotional health," according to the actress. She revealed that she often ended up "crying before the show" due to the stress.

"When I felt like I was going into a show that I didn't have a clear opinion about or it was something that I was legitimately nervous to talk about because I did have an opinion about it but I knew I was the only one at the table that had my opinion, I would just get sick to my stomach," she continued. "I hated that feeling. And then I'm like, 'I don't know who's going to come at me.'"

Despite the pressures and the stress, Cameron Bure said she does not regret signing on for "The View," adding that "there were so many wonderful takeaways" and that she was still "grateful" for the opportunity.

Cameron Bure also spoke about her time on the talk show during an interview with People for "The View's" 25th anniversary. She shared that while she would "never want a permanent seat at the table again," it "always feels like family" when she comes back as a guest.

According to her, being a co-host on "The View" was "one of the toughest jobs" she'd ever had.

Looking back, Cameron Bure said the biggest challenge from her time as a co-host was "diving headfirst into politics," comparing it to being "back in school, doing 4-5 hours of homework a night."

"Along with that, I was traveling back and forth from Los Angeles to New York every week to be with my family on the weekends. I'm surprised I kept up with my schedule for as long as I did," she recalled.

Another former "The Talk" co-host, Raven-Symoné also appeared on this week's episode of "Behind the Table." The actress, who co-hosted from 2015 to 2016 as well, joked about being "catfished" into the co-hosting gig, saying she joined believing the talk show would be less politically focused.

"I really did want to be on that show and talk about topics that I'm good at and know about and really succeed in a positive way," the "Raven's Home" star explained. "I'm not used to flopping, I'm not used to failing. And I feel like a little bit of a fail because of it. But it wasn't my fault, which made it even worse."
