Sally Wainwright

I live in Oxford and she lives in Yorkshire, so it was like 200 miles away.

And she was starting to be forgetful and starting to experience things that were a problem for me and my sister who just didn't live close to her.

At the same time, I'd got two teenage boys.

My marriage wasn't...

as good as it had been.

I had a huge amount of pressure at work, you know, being across several shows at the same time and being pulled in lots of different directions there.

And you get to this edge where you kind of feel you are capable of dealing with these things because you always have done, because you're somebody who's always prided yourself on dealing with stuff.

And in the middle of all that, I started to feel that I was disappearing.

It's like everybody needed a piece of me.

You know, if you want something doing, ask a busy woman.

And I felt like, oh, it's me.

I'm the person who's being asked things off.

And in the middle of that, I started to kick back a bit and be quite angry in a way that was not always appropriate.

And you don't quite realize what's happening to you.

And starting to feel, I started to get quite low moods.

Brain fog.

Someone who uses their brain so much.

Yes, and being worried.

You know, when you write a script, you're using your brain in a thousand ways.

a second, a thousand different ways a second.
