Your Social Anxiety Bestie

*Super important disclaimer: This post is not meant to influence your medication decisions one way or another. I just remember wishing I could find some first-person accounts of what life was like before and during medication. That's all this is. At all times, trust your doctor's expertise over mine.*Medication is not a magical cure-all. But for me, it's been a science-backed help-a-lot.I was afraid to take medication because of the potential side effects I read about online... until I realized that untreated anxiety had its OWN side effects, and those side effects sucked. This episode shares some insight into my medication journey and opens the floor to questions and discussion!Blog post version: https://www.patreon.com/posts/why-i-take-for-65593428Links mentioned: The 9 Best Anxiety Podcasts for 2022: https://psychcentral.com/health/best-anxiety-podcastsJOIN THE CLUB: www.patreon.com/yoursocialanxietybestieSend me a voice message! https://podinbox.com/yoursocialanxietybestieBOOK A FREE, NO-PRESSURE PEER COACHING MEET AND GREET: https://calendly.com/sadie-hall/meetCheck out our Google Calendar for the Besties Club here!Intro/outro music: Move Your Body (Hallman Remix) by Loving Caliber, HallmanSupport the show

Today you'll be hearing from Chris, a 29-year-old husband, dad, and software developer. Chris shares how he has had social anxiety and OCD since high school, and how he pushes himself to incorporate mini-exposures and "experiments" into his busy day-to-day life as a dad. He also candidly discusses how social anxiety impacts his parenting and what it was like to tell his wife about his anxiety and depression. We touch on sweating as well, which I know many listeners will find reassuring (nope, it's super not just you). JOIN THE CLUB: www.patreon.com/yoursocialanxietybestieSend me a voice message! https://podinbox.com/yoursocialanxietybestieBOOK A FREE, NO-PRESSURE PEER COACHING MEET AND GREET: https://calendly.com/sadie-hall/meetCheck out our Google Calendar for the Besties Club here!Intro/outro music: Move Your Body (Hallman Remix) by Loving Caliber, HallmanSupport the show
