8. Let’s talk about Anxiety With Elaine Crosby

Cuppa Tea and Talks With G

In this weeks' episode, I speak to my friend Elaine about her experience of living and dealing with anxiety. We cover when Elaine first started to notice her anxiety and how it manifested for her. We also look at what she has done to help herself and what she finds works best now when her anxiety flares up. Elaine humanises and normalises the whole subject of anxiety and shows that even though someone may be functioning normally, it doesn't mean there isn't something going on that we are unaware of. If anything that is discussed in this episode resonates with you and sounds like something you experience or have experienced previously I have included some helplines below as an initial point of contact if you want to speak to someone. With everything, if you don't feel 100% or feel like something is a bit off, please reach out and speak to someone, whether your family, friends, GP or even one of the helplines below.
