- In this requested episode of Us Anxious Folk, I talk all about how to cope with and navigate the idea of "time wasted".
Spending years bound by panic and fear can leave you feeling as if you've missed out on your own life. Grief, guilt, regret, shame....these are all emotions that tend to arise when it comes to anxiety disorders.
This episode covers how and why we need to acknowledge grief, what happens when grief turns into resentment, and what we can do to shift and grief and release those emotions from our body.

Thank you Lauren, your experiences have clearly made you a very wonderful person. I really can hear so much growth and wisdom in your words, clearly brought about by the resilience you developed in overcoming this thing, and I think looking from that perspective you didn't waste a moment..
Aw Michael, that means a great deal to me. Thank you very much!
What a beautiful comment that is all truth!
Thank you for discussing this subject. I feel like I’m not alone with this burden of guilt for not enjoying things others do easily and normally. While I’m better now, I definitely think about the past and how lonely that felt that no one understood how much I didn’t want to be asked to do anything or go anywhere.
How did you get better?
@@alaina2768I did eventually have to get onto Zoloft and once that really kicked in (in takes a couple weeks) I started to feel better. I started to say yes to more things even if they were still out of my comfort zone. In all honesty, I do still get very anxious before big events or travel, but I can get thru it now and even enjoy myself. I also did a lot of “exposure therapy”. Even when it wasn’t easiest - for example I’m a very nervous flyer. Since I can’t just get on a plane anytime, I would youtube flight attendant vlogs - ppl who made being on planes a career, for hours each day, and no big deal would make me feel better. If you’re afraid to leave home/drive, just time a drive for 5 min. Then 10min. Everyday prove to yourself you can do it and eventually your mind WILL catch up. It’s hard and I’m not at 100%. But you CAN do it.
Wow. This was just so helpful and beautiful.
Thank you so much ❤️I'm very glad!
@@LaurenRose. I listened to this again today. Hard day today. Tomorrow will be better.
@@ng4759 sending you big love. Hard days are exhausting. Here’s to tomorrow being a little bit more peaceful and easy ❤️
@LaurenRose. Another hard one. They are very exhausting. I did good, though, Lauren! I stayed in the anxiety and moved through it. It kept coming in waves, and I didn't give up. I just want to say (for anyone else that may be reading this) that I have driving anxiety, not agoraphobia, but all of your content helps with that. I feel anxiety just starts to manifest in other areas when we don't take care of it. Today, I felt it mainly in a big store, and not as much during my drive.
