#mentalhealth #anxiety #podcasts
In this episode of the Lived Experience podcast, mental health advocate Billy Todd shares his experiences with anxiety and its impact on his life. Billy discusses the seriousness of anxiety and how it can affect a person's decisions and relationships.

During the COVID-19 outbreak in Melbourne, Billy found comfort in chaotic environments, which research suggests is common among people with anxiety. However, he later discovered that he had neglected his own needs during that time, leading to emotional distress.

Through his journey, Billy has learned the importance of focusing on physical health, including exercise and nutrition, to improve mental health. He also shares his personal techniques for coping with anxiety, such as creating an alter ego to counteract negative self-talk.

The episode also features a speaker who shares their own experiences with managing anxiety and finding ways to cope. They discuss their journey through psychiatric treatment and how they learned coping mechanisms to recognize and manage abandonment issues.

Listeners of the Lived Experience podcast can share their own stories by contacting the host through the podcast's website or social media. This episode offers valuable insights and tips for anyone looking to better understand and manage anxiety.
