On Saturday she told how “paralysed” she felt because she found it difficult to say no to all the work projects she was offered.
“I was wearing so much… I’m not going to lie, I came back at the beginning of this year and it was worse than it was at the end of last year and I really couldn’t handle it,” she said.
“I don’t want to say I was catatonic, but I couldn’t talk for about half an hour one day, I was so paralyzed with stress.”

The admission comes just days after Abbie was hospitalized for a severe migraine while struggling with her stressful addiction.

She explained that she went to the hospital after vomiting all night and was given medication, but it had worn off and she was still in a lot of pain.

‘Went to the hospital last night. The medicine calmed me down and it seemed to be working until I woke up this morning with the same amount of pain,” she said.
In July, Abbie revealed she had been on a retreat in Thailand to recover from her workaholism issues.

In an emotional voice recording, the radio presenter explained that she has a ‘real work addiction’ and therefore suffered from a serious burnout.
“I’m absolutely exhausted and burned out at the beginning of this year for a number of reasons,” she said.
“But I’ve been here about five days now and I think I’ve realized that my priorities need to shift a little bit. To be honest, I’ve taken on so many jobs and roles.”
She continued, “I’m trying to figure out what I want to do and what I don’t want to do and I’m trying not to force myself to work much harder than I have to.”
