They told me Parkinson’s would affect my movement. What they didn’t say was how much it would hijack my mind.

In this episode of Living with Parkinson’s: The Good, the Bad, and the Reality, I open up about one of the most invisible and misunderstood symptoms of Parkinson’s: anxiety.

This isn’t just stress or “worrying too much.” Anxiety in Parkinson’s is rooted in brain chemistry, and it can hit out of nowhere — racing heart, spiraling thoughts, a body that feels stuck even when my tremors are calm.

I share how anxiety shows up for me, how it’s connected to off times, and the tools I’ve learned to manage it — from tracking symptoms, to breathing exercises, to yes… even peanut M&Ms. Most importantly, I talk about the real game-changer: knowing you’re not alone.

If you’ve ever felt the hidden weight of anxiety with Parkinson’s, this conversation is for you.
