“– I’m not as timid and osjälvsäker longer, ” says Anna Bergendahl, 27.”

” I am older, more secure in myself, more mature, hopefully better as a performer and songwriter.”

“On Saturday, she sets out on the Melodifestivalen stage again with the song ”Ashes to Ashes” which she also wrote.”

“Sings about being his own hero.”

” I was through a little tough period. I have talked about my anxiety and my dad’s illness, but I’m past it now and has come out of it very much stronger on the other side. I got a lot of help from my family and friends but it was myself who took me through it, so the song is about being his own hero, to find the glow within himself and shine as a human being.”

“Panikångestattackerna came long after the victory in the Eurovision song contest.”

“– the First time was when I was 24 and it was in connection with that my father was sick so I connect it to it. But right in the moment it was performance anxiety over the exams in the medical programme. But I think it was an effect that I thought it was very hard to dad was sick, ” she says.”

“Got three days off from the medicine.”

“And medical school she has continued on. She is on semester seven of 11 and have had to take three days off to set themselves on the scene in the Scandinavium arena.”

” They’ve been very accommodating to the school. I may take it again I miss the next semester of the next academic year. Then I don’t know what they say if I want to take time off in three days. But if I were to go on so I will get to a limit where I need to take a break, but it can do, ” she says.”
