I spent some time this week exploring this with Jen. Jen and I lived a similar experience with anxiety even when our emotional and thinking styles could not be more different. While talking with Jen (I was on her podcast last week), I realized that we had lived very different experiences emotionally and mentally, yet both wound up in the same place with regard to anxiety and panic issues. I’m sure her story will sound familiar to most listeners.
I was fortunate enough to have Jen on the podcast this week to talk about her path into anxiety and panic, then out the other side.
#Anxiety and depersonalization tv
Jen Kirkman is a comedian, author, actor, TV writer, and podcaster that has lived through anxiety and panic for large portions of her life. I am grateful not only for the opportunity to speak TO you, but to speak WITH you, because that has been the fuel that sustained The Anxious Truth and helped it become what it is now. Since then, and especially in the last three years or so, you have driven this thing to a place I never expected it to go. I just hit the button on my four dollar podcasting app, and said things that I hoped would be helpful for somebody. I had no plan, no desired outcome, and no real interest in doing any more than that. The podcast was something I did just to pay things forward into the universe. When I started this podcast in 2014 all by myself, talking to myself in my living room (it was called "That Anxiety Guy") back then, I would never have imagined where it would go. This is the 200th episode of The Anxious Truth podcast. Of course, if you feel that you are a danger to yourself in any way, please reach out immediately for in-person help in your area.
