Anxiety Slayer™ with Shann and Ananga

How to care for yourself when you’re anxious and have no motivation

#590: As May is mental health awareness month, we’re going to be talking about understanding mental health and where to find support. Many of this month’s episodes are in response to questions about mental health from our private Facebook group.
Here’s our second question: “How to summon up the motivation to help yourself, or practice self-care when you are so low or anxious you don’t feel like doing anything. What the best first steps might be and how to talk yourself into doing them.”

Welcome back to the Anxiety Slayer podcast, as May is mental health awareness month, we’re going to be talking about understanding mental health and where to find support. Many of this month’s episodes are in response to questions about mental health from our private Facebook group.
 
Here’s our first question: “Is it normal to feel depressed when anxiety kicks in, sometimes I wonder if I'm bi-polar. some days I have so much energy and the next day, I'm lying on the sofa unable to do anything, feeling depressed and that scares me.”
