Outspoken Mental Health Ep 8 - Recovery Is Never Linear and That's OK!
About this Episode
In this week's episode of Outspoken Mental Health I'm talking about why you shouldn't feel disheartened if you think your anxiety is getting better but then you're struck, seemingly out of nowhere by a panic attack.
I'll chat about a recent anxious episode that I had and how I'm dealing with it and will also chat about the importance of accepting that you never fully stop getting anxious...it's your reaction to it that it everything.
