Have you ever had a big anxiety spike or panic episode, then felt wiped out the next day?

That foggy, shaky, low, emotionally flat feeling is something I call the anxiety hangover, and it can make you feel like you’ve gone backwards even when the worst of the anxiety has passed.

In this episode, I explain why the anxiety hangover happens, why it can feel so unpleasant, and how to respond in a way that helps your nervous system recover faster without feeding the fear.

You’ll learn a simple day after plan, including what to focus on, what to avoid, and how to keep gentle momentum so anxiety doesn’t steal your confidence.

In this episode of The Anxiety Relief Podcast, I explore how anxiety can begin to feel like part of who you are.

When you have lived with anxiety for a long time, it can stop feeling like something you experience and start feeling like your identity. You may begin to think, “This is just who I am” or worry that other people see you as the anxious one too.

In this episode, I talk about why that happens, how anxiety can become familiar in the mind and body, and why that does not mean it is permanent. I also explain why recovery can feel uncomfortable at first when anxiety has become your normal, and why letting go of anxiety is not about losing yourself, but finding more of yourself again.

If anxiety has started to shape how you see yourself, this episode is for you.

The Anxiety Relief Podcast is here to help you better understand anxiety, calm your nervous system, and move towards lasting relief.
