Bye Bye Panic

Overcoming Anxiety After a Toxic Job (Cait Frandsen’s Recovery Story)


Listen Later

Cait Frandsen started feeling anxiety symptoms in her toxic work environment, where she was bullied and constantly stressed. She thought leaving her job would solve everything, but even after moving to a better, healthier work environment, the anxiety continued to follow her into every part of her life.

Cait felt that everyone hated her, and her panic attacks became a daily reality. Even minor things – like grocery shopping or the sound of her phone ringing – would send her into panic mode.

After catching COVID-19 and nearly losing her mother to a medical emergency, Cait’s anxiety skyrocketed. Intrusive thoughts consumed her – she feared she had failed as a daughter and began to catastrophize everything. She stopped going out, isolated herself from friends, and constantly worried she was going to be fired from her job for having panic attacks.

She tried everything – therapy, meditation, yoga, even cold therapy – but nothing seemed to work. She began to feel hopeless and wanted to give up until she found the Bye Bye Panic program.

At first, she was skeptical – was this just another scam? But after hearing the stories of others who had walked in her shoes, she felt a spark of hope. Slowly, with the help of mentors who had faced the same struggles, Cait began to shift her mindset.

In this episode, Mirka from Bye Bye Panic sits down with Cait, who shares how she learned to stop letting her thoughts control her and how the program helped her rebuild her confidence, allowing her to thrive despite life’s stressors.

Tune in to hear Cait’s powerful story!
