Hey there, It's Hope Adams and Dre Valentine, your anxiety navigating guides. Ever been to a social function where you wanted to shrink into a corner, or perhaps vanish altogether? We've been there too. From the daunting spotlight of birthdays to the anxious chatter of weddings, we're going to share our personal struggles, humorous anecdotes, and some effective coping strategies.
Ever had to explain to someone why you freak out over a trip to the grocery store? It's difficult, we know. It's like trying to describe a color to someone who's never seen it. We'll be discussing our own experiences with this, and how we've learned to communicate effectively with those around us who don't quite understand. We'll also be giving you some tools and techniques we've found helpful in managing our anxiety - medication, therapy, meditation, and the immense value of a strong support system.
But we're not here to just talk about the hardships. Life with anxiety can still be enjoyable, and we're living proof of that. We'll discuss how to find joy in the midst of the storm and how to find the silver linings in the clouds of anxiety. So strap in for a ride through the ups and downs of living with anxiety, as we share our candid stories and insights. It's going to be an enlightening and hopefully, a comforting journey.
