Honestly Holistic Podcast with Tamryn Burgess

In this episode I share an update on my health anxiety flare up which I went into detail on in the last episode (listen to it first - episode 39). I share with you what I'm doing differently now vs before when I used to let the grip of health anxiety completely overtake me! I think may help you too if you're finding yourself in that state of constant worry and fear.

In this episode I share how anxiety has been affecting me the past two week. I share the GAD (generalized anxiety disorder) symptoms that have been coming up for me again and how it’s been feeding into health anxiety fears. Let this be a reminder that no matter how far you have come sometimes we will experience temporary setbacks and that does not mean we have lost all of our progress. I hope this brings some comfort for you if you’re in a spiral too.

In this episode I share where my health anxiety story truly began; with a twitch in my wrist that quickly escalated into all over body twitches that left me beyond sick with fear. In sharing my experiences with you, I hope to bring you some comfort if twitching is a symptom that has you consumed in fear. You are never alone in this community

This episode touches on death anxiety, also known as thanatophobia. I wish I knew it was a real thing when I experienced it for the first time as a child. Instead I lived in mind-numbing fear and told no one for fear of looking crazy. I hope that by sharing this, I can bring you some comfort and relief if you are currently struggling with death anxiety.

This episode is quite different from my usual anxiety-related episodes. However, this was a big part of why I suffered severely with anxiety in my early twenties so I wanted to talk about it. It’s hard to talk about certain things, but how can we start to move forward when we hold it all inside? If this helps even one person feel less alone then I am okay with that.

This episode is quite vulnerable for me. In it, I talk about something called BPD (borderline personality disorder) and how it has affected my life (and continues to affect my life). It’s still something I am actively learning about, and I hope by starting this conversation around it, it can maybe help someone else who may relate.

In this episode, I take a look back at the past (almost) 10 years from when anxiety really started to affect my adult life. From sharing stories about what got me taking meds, to how I decided to try other ways of healing, and everything in between. In my usual style, it's a bit of a ramble, but bare with me! Part summary of what's in my books ("Help! Why Am I So Anxious?!" and "Anxiety A to Z") and part look into my mindset at the time, I hope you get something positive out of this episode you can take along your own journey!

I don't even have to say it, but I will anyway... it's been a strange year! 2020 has been quite the ride, hasn't it? For thousands (if not millions) of people all over the globe, the state of the world and the pandemic we're all living through has left them with heightened anxiety. Many others are even experiencing the feelings, emotions, and symptoms that come with anxiety disorders for the very first time. In one way, it isn't good to hear. In another, it's helped many people empathize with those in their life who have struggled for years. In this podcast, I give you a little overview of how my year has been, what's coming next, and ... I go on just a little rant. As always, it's completely raw, unfiltered, and honest.

We are all guilty of this so don’t be hard on yourself. But our mental health checklist is just as, if not more important, then all those other tasks on your to-do list. So that’s why I decided to record this podcast for you which goes over , one by one, the 10 things I do every single day to help me feel good and I wanted to share them with you. If I skip these things I can feel my mental health decline, but I am human and will forget some things some days! I want you to ease in, be gentle with yourself and if you don’t tick off everything on your list then just know that tomorrow is a new day. So without further ado, I invite you to dive in and see everything that is waiting for you! As always, I would love to hear your feedback and I hope you have an awesome week!
