Israeli reality television personality Einav Bublil has shared a deeply personal account of her struggles with anxiety, detailing a harrowing incident where her then three-year-old daughter nearly ran into a main road while Bublil, consumed by her own fears, walked towards their home unaware.

The incident occurred during a period of intense anxiety for Bublil, who had become convinced she had cervical cancer after experiencing abnormal bleeding and researching her symptoms online. This fear led her to tell her husband, "Eli, I am about to die." She subsequently experienced a panic attack and was hospitalized, awaiting test results for two weeks during which she felt incapacitated.

During this same period, the near-accident with her daughter took place. A bystander intervened and saved the child. Following this event, Bublil's mother insisted she seek psychiatric help.

Bublil also recounted another instance where fear of illness led to debilitating pain. For about six weeks, she suffered chest pain, convinced she had cancer and fearing her children would be left alone. Her husband eventually compelled her to see a doctor, and after being told she was healthy, the pain vanished.

Her struggles with fear began in childhood, with imaginary lions in the house. At age 13, she developed a habit of pinching herself, which continued for 26 years. A year prior to her interview, she began therapy and linked the self-harm to her childhood feelings of self-hatred, particularly regarding her weight. She reported that she has not pinched herself in seven months, indicating a significant change.
