I’m intrigued by anxious people.
What isn’t interesting about somebody else’s anxiety?
In some ways it’s like holding up a mirror and confirming, among other things, that you aren’t alone in all this. At the same time it’s an opportunity to learn about how others manage their symptoms and fears.
I just recorded an interview with Jess, a brave soul that wanted to share her story to help you move on, past fear and away from anxiety.
What We Covered During the Interview:
- The origins of Jess’s anxiety
- Her family’s reaction to her struggle with anxiety
- Jess talked about some of the tools she’s tried to overcome her anxiety
- Jess offers tips based on her experience
I think it’s outstanding that so many people are stepping up and sharing their stories on Anxietyguru.net to help others.
If you want to do the same, shoot me an email at info@anxietyguru.net.
Really helpful post, thank you. I’ve just done a post on anxiety over on my blog https://lifeandpickmeups.blogspot.co.uk/ as I am a sufferer myself xx
I have been listening to an assortment of your podcasts, and I just wanted to let you know that they are helping me through a difficult time. In the past few months I have started started getting panic attacks and a variety of general anxiety symptoms. Your information and reassurance is very helpful. Just hearing you sign off with “no matter what, you’re going to be ok” makes me feel better every time. Thank you for that. 🙂
Thanks for listening Sande. Glad to hear that the podcast has been helpful to you. 🙂
I agree. I don’t know what I would do if I didn’t have this website and podcasts to turn to. This site has been the best I have found and that I can relate to.
Listening to your podcasts are helping me get through a very anxious time. I just listened to this one and really could relate to Jess. I listened to it while actually feeling anxious and I am having trouble leaving the house for fear of an intense attack. I also feel very alone and I too feel selfish about it. It doesn’t help that my physical symptoms are so intense I’m at a loss. Listening to her gave me hope that I can overcome it and there are other people out there that feel like me. Thank you.
Hie Paul,i would want to say,am in south africa and i got anxiety attacks,for about 2 years now,and how this whole thing started is one of the things i am still scared of even telling my wife,its been hard for me to even write it down where i know aint nobody is gonna see,but finally today,i could write down what made me anxious and i wanna give you a hint if i can,we had smoked weed that night like we used to and i started telling guys about the bible,as a young intelligent guy,wherever i have been to,i always had people listen to me,like i draw attention in a way i dont know,but am not narcist,because i let people know what i know then i get the respect,ok,so this whole bible thing,turned into me thinking i was leading my friends the other way,like i was making them believe in me,then i felt guilt,i got scared then thought i was dying and that it was a punishment for what i had done,till now i live with it,i wanna say,i would love to give it a try with your help,sincerly,jim leboke
I have anxiety everyday im in therapy individual and group
It’s hard for me to function on a daily basis
Also take medications
The people around me are gettlng burnt out about my anxiety
I just listened to your audios and really can relate
Where can I find more
I wanted to say that listening to this podcast was truly an inspiration to me. I want to say to Jesse that she inspired me to be brave and face my fears. My anxiety causes me to doubt my potential and sometimes I’m afraid of facing people because my fear is that I will show my anxiety in an inappropriate way.
This is just an encouraging thought from God’s word I would like to leave with Jesse and all my brothers and sisters who are wrestling with anxiety:
“When anxieties overwhelmed me, You comforted and soothed me”.
-Psalms 94:19
