Sorry My Anxiety Is Talking
I was diagnosed at 25 with anxiety/depression & I thought to myself, now what? I've been on the most beautiful, chaotic, confusing & overwhelming journey since then. Beginning your mental health chapter isn't easy & I am here to help, guide, inspire and remind you, that you are not alone. I'll be sharing what helped me, saved me, what worked & what didn't in my mental health whirlwind. All while still navigating my own mental health along with you guys. This podcast is for those lost & confused & not really sure where to begin to pick up the pieces or for those who finally want to take action in becoming the healthiest versions of themselves. We're in this together. My name is Twigz & welcome to Sorry My Anxiety Is Talking Podcast.
