Coping with Anxiety Pt. 2

Summarizing the reporting, investigation, and trial process I went through with the Army for my sexual assault. We’ll also discuss some hard truths and advice for those reporting, considering reporting, or are already in the process. This will be my last episode for awhile.

Going in depth into the calm place and how to make your own and better manage your anxiety.

In this episode we’re going to discuss the different coping mechanisms that I have learned and use regularly as well as pinpointing the root causes of our anxiety to better form an effective coping mechanism for the anxiety that follows the cause.

The “ideal body” is decided by social norms and judgement throughout society. Screw that, define YOUR OWN ideal body image. No more comparing to the Kylie Jenners and Channing Tatums of the world, do what’s best for you and what works for you. YOUR opinion of yourself is the priority.

In season 1 we discussed appreciating the little achievements we make throughout the day and I wanted to recap and add to that. We also need to be grateful for the big things that we may not even notice or realize we have.

There’s a video going around that B. Simone made and I’m here to say she’s absolutely right! We all have a list of criteria we want someone to meet for us, but how much of that list can we meet?

Self love is something only we can do for ourselves. You attract what you are so in order to attract better in your life, know that you deserve and want better and start acting like it.

The beginning of a new year is always the beginning of new life changes and goals. Let the focus goal of this year be to have a better mentality and taking better care of your mental health. Out with the old and in with the new.

Going into the new year, it’s always best to do an energy cleanse to get rid of any baggage or unneeded and unwanted and non beneficial things. Whether it’s people, materials, or memories, get rid of anything that isn’t serving you or your purpose. Take a break from social media for awhile and get in touch with your surroundings and evaluate everything and everyone in your life.

This year has been rough for many of us, and this time of year is not always cheery for everyone. In this episode I discuss my encounter with suicide and the dangers of holding everything in. TRIGGER WARNING ⚠️ this is not an easy topic to discuss and it definitely is not easy to tell our own story, but it’s important that we talk about things and get things off of our chest so that we don’t self destruct or explode.
