00:00Two weeks in, I was on my knees, and I had to say to the head of Radio 2.
00:04So there was something that happened that triggered.
00:08If I was covering for Zoe on Radio 2, I used to cover for her on Breakfast.
00:12Knowing that I had that the next day, I definitely wouldn't sleep.
00:15And I'd be catastrophizing all night.
00:16Catastrophizing.
00:17And I can do it with my eyes closed.
00:19Like, I know how that show works.
00:21I love doing it when I'm there.
00:22But the level of catastrophizing would give me these big adrenaline rushes,
00:27and then I would just be awake all night.
00:29And it got to the point where, you know, two weeks in, I was on my knees,
00:33and I had to say to the head of Radio 2,
00:36I love doing this show so much, and I could do it with such ease.
00:40But the night before is torture, and I can't do it to myself anymore.
00:44And it was horrible saying that.
00:45I wanted to do the job, but I couldn't do it.
00:48And I still couldn't do it now.
00:49There's no way.
