At three o\u2019clock I was waking up in the morning with, like, an elephant on my chest. You know, that feeling of \u2018oh my God\u2019 and being overwhelmed, but I soldiered on.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The presenter noted a common societal reaction to her anxiety, where people question its presence given her seemingly fortunate life. She quoted: &#8220;They say, \u2018You\u2019ve got a lovely husband, you\u2019ve got a beautiful house, you\u2019ve got a great daughter, you\u2019ve got an amazing job\u2026 why have you got anxiety?
