Deep Dive into Anxiety, Panic and Agoraphobia: Creative Copes Season 1, Episode 7

Join us as we delve into the anxious and panicky sides to Jen and Mita. We took a little detour to share some of our background "diagnonsense" and why anxiety and panic disorders can look so different from one person to the next. A lot of times, people use the terms as adjectives or descriptors for what they are feeling. This is usually what we call anxiety or panic attacks. Panic attacks and anxiety attacks are not the same. We dive in a bit about some childhood beginnings and when these anxious feelings stem from, as well as do our weekly physical and mental health check in. We talk about how drug companies can fail us and sometimes doctors are quick to break out the prescription pad before looking into some CREATIVE COPES first.  This is a heavier episode, one filled with personal stories, rather than ways to cope with things. We share our symptoms, feelings and life experiences. Please remember that we are human beings (with lots of mushy, heartfelt feelings) on the other side of our voices and podcast. Be gentle as we open up and share to help #endthestigma against these disorders. ♥ We dive deeper in the blog, Wisdom Walks, on our website:  https://creativecopes.wixsite.com/podcast/wisdomwalks.
