Maybe Tomorrow

Let’s talk about drugs. Not the recreational kind, the kind some of us need to function. Deciding to go on medication to manage anxiety is a very personal decision often filled with shame, self-doubt, and a simultaneous mix of fear and hope. This episode, we discuss our own journeys navigating the complicated world of big pharma, what it’s like to be on medication, and the conflicting feelings around it. We’re just scratching the surface on this topic and it won’t be the last time we talk about it.

We find out there are 3 types of perfectionism and have a shared revelation on coconut water.

Why do we get anxious to leave our weekend routine? Scientific studies show that the feeling of impeding doom washes over you at approximately 6pm (or 3pm according to Bria) every Sunday to ruin what’s left of your weekend. We might not have a resident fact checker to validate this, but we’re 94% sure that’s accurate and we’ll tell you why. In this episode we talk about a book, The One Thing.

New decade, same anxious me. Everyone’s been recapping the last decade on social media so Caroline and Bria kick off High Functioning with a harrowing journey down memory lane sharing how anxiety has manifested in their lives to present day. From realizing your own mortality at your 6th birthday party to being shamed by doctors for not “looking anxious” enough, here’s to hoping 2020 brings more stories and more clarity about why the fuck our overreactive brains are the way they are.
