Episode 6: You probably didn’t know this...

Well the countdown to Christmas is well and truly on and with that this year brings some uncomfortable feelings. For many Christmas is a hard time of the year, let alone Christmas 2020! This week I’m joined by friend Simon. Little did I know, like 1 in 4 people in the UK, Simon lives with anxiety. We all experience anxiety or anxious feelings at some point in our lives. In this brave and honest chat Simon shares his story, from noticing the beginnings of the anxiety, asking for help through to managing and living with it today. Content warning: anxiety, anxious feelings, divorce, death, loss, grief. In the chat Simon talks about his treatments - they may not work for everyone. If you’re unsure, would like to know more then take a look at some of these websites or speak with your doctor. https://www.anxietyuk.org.uk/ https://www.mind.org.uk/information-support/types-of-mental-health-problems/anxiety-and-panic-attacks/about-anxiety/ https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/stress-anxiety-depression/understanding-panic/
