Dig It with Jo Whiley and Zoe Ball · 97: DIG IN: Understanding Anxiety with Owen O'Kane · 1 Jun 2026 podcast

But I started to have panic attacks and I think it was...

from grief because that's sort of when that started for me.

And then along came perimenopause as well.

And then I started to have crippling anxiety to the point where I was struggling to work or get through a show.

And it's so, you know, crippling, I think is the word.

And I just didn't really know where to go with it.

And you go to the doctor and it's like, should I try antidepressants?

Should I try this?

And that feeling of when you're in it,

of not being able to get out of it.

Anyway, I've come out of it.

I've learned a lot about it.

I've had some brilliant help from some great people along the way.

And I tried one of your exercises last night, because I'm not really anxious at the moment, but there are a few things that I've been a bit worried about.

And so I tried one of your fantastic exercises from the book where I wrote down a list of some of the things that I'm a bit worried about at the moment, and then just

the exercise you write down things that you're you're worried about and then you're talking about how much power you have over them and I tell you what Owen I slept so well last night because each of those things I sort of give myself a little well that isn't really that and this is this and maybe that's your feeling and just as an exercise in my little book it was so helpful

to realise that a lot of these things that I've been really worried about at the moment are really not that bad, are not necessarily my faults.

They're probably going to work out.

There's things that I can do about some of them.

So thank you.
