In this week\'s episode, I share my own experience living and running a business with anxiety. This is a Q+A style episode that I decided to record in light of world mental health day which was on October 10, 2021. In it, I answer questions asked by my audience to provide insight into my own journey with anxiety and the experiences of those who struggle with this mental health condition.
The questions I answer include:When did my anxiety start? (2:08) How did I know it was time to seek help for my anxiety? (4:12)How did I know I had anxiety and it wasn’t just normal worry and stress? (8:30)Do I experience physical symptoms of anxiety? (10:57)What is my anxiety related to? Work? Relationships? (14:12)Do I see a psychologist? And if so, what is my experience in therapy? (17:23)Have I been on medication for my anxiety? (21:12)Is there a relationship between perfectionism and anxiety? And if so, do my perfectionistic tendencies relate to my anxiety? (25:07)Do I experience health anxiety? (27:04) Do certain foods or alcohol play a role in my anxiety? (27:56)How can people support a partner that has anxiety? (30:34)How can you explain anxiety to a partner? (32:00)What strategies have helped me manage my anxiety? (35:14)
