After decades of grappling with anxiety, I found my peace through therapy and slowly learned to manage this disorder that had been ruling my life. Throughout this stirring conversation, I draw from my personal journey to share practical tips on recognizing and managing anxiety. I discuss the importance of identifying and curtailing triggers like lack of sleep and alcohol, and the cruciality of acknowledging physical and mental symptoms.
Join me as I narrate my unique journey of attending a festival alone and the mental preparation that went into it, and the surprising comfort I found in weighted blankets. We delve deeper into the concept of finding happiness and solace in familiar things as a way to cope with anxiety. As we traverse through our comfort zones and learn to respect our anxiety, we discuss how our anxieties evolve as we age. We conclude with a poignant discussion on striking a balance between finding comfort and avoiding avoidance. Tune in for this heartfelt conversation; let's face anxiety and embrace it together.
Please consider helping me out, I'd seriously super appreciate it! <3
