#4 — "I don't want to live in fear"

My friend Frank and I discuss how it is to live with anxiety, when we had to face our first anxious episodes and how we dealt with it. In this episode, we mention how we open up to friends, how we try to balance our way of life so that anxiety doesn't take over. Please not that we are not mental health experts. If you're experiencing anxiety issues, or struggling with your mental health, please turn to a professional: general practitioner, psychologist, psychiatrist... I hope you find something useful in this episode! If you enjoy listening to this podcast, you can subscribe and give it a nice rating. That would also really help spreading it to more anxious people like you and me :) Follow Anxiety on Instagram [https://www.instagram.com/anxiety.podcast]. ⚠️ Trigger warning: in this episode and at several occasions we mention use of drugs and alcohol. None of them would help in any way with solving issues. Please bear in minds that drugs are harmful for both your mental and physical health, and same goes with alcohol. Don't do drugs, drink responsibly. You don't want to add up to the anxiety you're already experiencing. References: * The Untethered Soul [https://untetheredsoul.com/untethered-soul], Michael A.

For this podcast's first episode, I am very happy to host my friend Stéphanie for a conversation about anxiety. ⚠️ We talk about medication in this episode — remember, everyone’s experience is different. Please don’t self-medicate and always talk to a doctor or therapist first. In this first episode, my friend Stéphanie and I are chatting about how anxiety affects our lives.
