For some of us with an anxiety condition it is a short detour, it gets resolved. For other people we’ve been on this dang road a long time; some since childhood, our teens or early twenties.

The good news is that there is treatment and you might have to make some lifestyle changes but you can feel better.

Anxiety and Your Body Requires Respect

  ,   
Once upon a time there was a man who felt that someone was disrespecting his name. He was being interviewed on a radio program and at some point he laid out the grounds for continued conversation.

It was lyrical.

Another group of musicians likes what they heard and put together a little ditty that captures the spirit of what Birdman (yes, Birdman) wanted from his radio host.





When it comes to an anxiety or panic condition you better put some respect on it. Recognize that you have a problem that requires one or more than one solution. Some of those solutions you do not want to do.

That is your choice.

If you ignore it, postpone it or others try to continue doing what you are doing (and getting less than zero benefit) there will be repercussions.

Those repercussions will not be pleasant.
They will, however, be visible.

Episode 056 - Depression Tips and The Internal Hater

  , ,   
In this show, a romp around the corner with depression and the internal little hater.

This show is more focused on the voice in many people's heads that is hyper-critical. There are some organic, mechanical and mental skills that can help to shut the hater up.




It is more about building a toolkit of resources when the voice is obnoxious. It is about deflating that power to attack you at a vulnerable point. Anxiety can make you feel extremely vulnerable.
