“Over shutdown, a friend confided an intense lifelong struggle with diagnosed anxiety disorder. I went searching for ways to understand them better and this has become my favorite podcast on the subject. It’s helped me both recognize anxiety I experience myself (so I know pieces of that feeling better), and see the wide gulf between what I experience at times and what someone with general anxiety disorder experiences in a daily intense way that’s hard to relate to other.
My takeaways have been understanding how to give better space, and not misinterpret behaviors around anxiety as something directed at me. And instead, just have more compassion for a friend when they’re in those moments and coping the best they can.”
