135: The Impact Anxiety has on Relationships

In today’s solo episode I unpack how anxiety impacts relationships between friends, family members, and romantic partners. I often say that Joe knows how to “handle” my anxiety, and this episode dives into more specifics on what that actually looks like. As someone who feels that sometimes I am a “burden” for those who love me due to my mental health struggles, I share those emotions and remind us all that some of us just need a little extra support. I read through a handful of FF Fam member submissions on this topic and share your stories on how your anxiety has impacted the relationships you have.

Key Takeaway / Points: 

  • Opening up about the feeling of “being a burden” on others due to my mental health struggles

  • Sharing stories by fellow FF Fam members on how anxiety has impacted their relationships

  • Discussing the evolution of my friendships and how anxiety used to play a role in my decisions

  • Unpacking how Joe helps me through my anxious times and recommendations for practices to do with your friends, family members, or partners so that they can best support you
