She said the period before the public was informed of the split was particularly had, because it was “difficult to put on a brave face and pretend everything was OK”.<\/p>\n

“I started having panic attacks … I was really not OK for a while,” she said.<\/p>\n

The Tammy Fit creator said therapy was key to helping her through the turbulent time.<\/p>\n

“I couldn’t even go to the grocery store without breaking down, I was in such a terrible place,” she recalled.<\/p>\n

“Someone would say hi to me in public, and my nervous system was just so fried that … I would break down immediately.<\/p>\n

“I’ve never experienced anything like that in my life, and I feel like it was just the trauma of the relationship and the breakup and … trying to deal with the public and everything after it. It was just a lot.<\/p>\n

“I can gladly say that I’m in such a better place now and I’m grateful to be out of that, and I’m grateful for everything that I’ve learned.”<\/p>\n

Hembrow said the public discourse and speculation around her split from Zukowski only compounded the situation.<\/p>\n

“There’s been a lot of really untrue things said,” she continued.<\/p>\n

“Dealing with any breakup is already so difficult, and doing it in public with everyone with their assumptions and their opinions, it just makes it 10 times harder.<\/p>\n

“And then also just doing it as a mum and trying to not break down in front of my kids … it was a really difficult thing to go through.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"T\ufeffammy Hembrow has admitted she was ‘really not OK’ and had panic attacks as her marriage ended in…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":435373,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[458,146,85,46],"class_list":["post-435372","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-celebrities","tag-celebrities","tag-entertainment","tag-il","tag-israel"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/435372","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=435372"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/435372\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/435373"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=435372"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=435372"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=435372"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
