This is great. Trying to juggle disordered and non disordered anxiety can get confusing....

Today’s column resonated with me very much. I’m building a house in the mountains and I am terrified and anxious about driving in mountains since I live in Florida which is kind of flat. I chew like that part as a symptom instead of symptoms of anxiety. Thank you

I really loved the part “….as a symptom instead of the symptoms of anxiety”. I spend so much time anxious over the symptoms and it’s a vicious cycle. That really hit home for me. I’m getting better, I know I am. I look forward to the day when I can feel what’s it like to not have disordered anxiety again. I know I’m an anxious person and I’m ok with that. And now I understand I don’t have to spend the rest of my life with these symptoms taking over. Thanks for all you do!

I love this! I connect with you in being able to look forward to the day instead of constant dread and swirling thoughts of “what if” or “I should be...” or “I can’t.” It’s such a strange and at times scary feeling of just surrendering to the what if and being okay with it. It is challenging at times but I keep at it and the fight against my brain isn’t as intense anymore. I have hope that my life wont be miserable forever.

Really enjoying these episodes each day, gives me perspective to tackle the day ahead whilst also adding building blocks to my recovery in general. The work you do has helped me so much more than any therapist I’ve encountered, it is thought provoking making me really look at myself and the whole topic, doesn’t give you the easy way out and empty comfort gives what’s what’s necessary to overcome this. Really thankful for all the work you do and how it’s helping je move forward in all of this
