Sometimes it takes one diagnosis to connect the dots. 🧩

@freddiec1994 lived with anxiety for years, until an #autismdiagnosis made things click.

In 3 lessons, he shares what’s changed:
1️⃣ Anxiety ≠ autism
2️⃣ Diagnosis = clarity
3️⃣ Self-acceptance = armour

A breakup + a hangover + NYC subway = big ol' panic attack.🤯

This is a blog I’ve toyed with writing for some time but always felt uncomfortable doing so.

Drinking is so ingrained in our society that openly ‘speaking out’ about it, still feels taboo.

But this isn’t a blog about how awful alcohol, it’s just my experience since quitting.

[You, Me & Anxiety @YouMeAndAnxiety]

Quitting the booze 🍺🚫

In our latest blog Dan talks about his experience quitting drinking.

Read how a range of drunken incidents, including mistaking a housemate’s bedroom as the toilet (number 1, thank goodness) resulted in Dan quitting the tipple.

@freddiec1994 @VenthelpUK Love the sentiment of #itsokaynottobeokay, it's just an utter mouthful and visually a little forgettable. Like #itsokaytovent or other smaller in length options #timetotalk, #stopthestigma etc

One of my finest travel moments, without a doubt...

[You, Me & Anxiety @YouMeAndAnxiety]

A flight to Seattle, hardcore travel anxiety and the nervous sweats, what could go wrong? 🤷‍♂️

Travelling now seems like a distant memory, once upon a time we were free to take to the skies and visit faraway lands.

Dating and anxiety 👀

This quote was from our 4th podcast episode, where @BecBec1213 sat down with Dan to chat about dating.

From first date panic to commitment fears - we all get anxious when it comes to dating and that's okay!

It's vital we keep pressure and scrutiny on our MPs over the support our nation is given regarding our mental health, even in the midst of a pandemic.

Former podcast guest and our resident political expert, Ian Perrin, has recently written a piece on the COVID-induced mental health crisis.

More than one in 10 patients are now waiting six months for mental health support, and experts say the waits could ‘get a lot worse’.
