Grab your mugs, we're spilling the anxie-tea on today's episode. I had the pleasure of speaking with The High Functioning Podcast's very own, Brittany Perlin, for an in-depth discussion on anxiety, seasonal affective disorder, or SAD, and panic disorder. Brittany explains how her diagnoses have contributed to her life in both negative and positive ways, and some of the main ways she tries to support herself when she feels the anxiety mosquito biting (this is a Big Mouth reference, which I wrongly call the anxiety monster on the episode). This leads us into a discussion on codependency. I share about a temporary, but tougher time in undergrad when I was diagnosed with panic disorder. We end the episode discussing dating a person with anxiety and the importance of knowing what you need when you could benefit from emotional support, and asking your partner how you can show up for them.
