The Anxious Girly

There are so many things that have helped me these past couple of months, but if I really had to narrow it down, it would be these 3 things. I am someone who hates routine and repetitiveness, so even now I struggle. My brain just wants to eat whatever, sleep whenever and do everything spontaneously but at the cost of my sanity. These small habits I've developed (and am still developing) have h...

Are you really wanting to heal? Or have you grown comfortable using mental health as an excuse? It's time to be honest.

Recently, I've seen a lot of people advocating for healing that seem to leave out the "messy middle". Especially, when we make mistakes. We are constantly told to always be on our A game, but what happens when you slip up? What happens when your own patterns start to emerge? Well, here's my recent mistake and what I learnt.

If you're anything like me, looking at morning routines online make you feel like a lazy bum. They feel so unrealistic. This episode isn't about waking up at 5am and becoming 'your best self'. It's about the much smaller things that create a stable routine, not one that you know you won't stick to. 🤍

This is me sharing a recent experience with today's mental health services. From being informed that I am too unstable for the very diagnosis I need, to being told by a psychiatrist that ADHD does not affect woman. You don't need to be an expert to realise how much damage this can inflict on a person. I can only hope that if you have been through something similar, you do not give up advoc...

You don't have to earn your beauty by becoming someone else, and endlessly chasing the latest beauty trends will leave you exhausted. We are told to just accept ourselves, all whilst the world judges us for not fitting the mould. As mentioned, here are the lovely ladies who unknowingly helped me embrace... me! 🤍 @Bethanralloyd⁩  @Kylei⁩  ⁨@kirstyeelizabeth⁩ 

Are you constantly scanning for rejection? Does the smallest of encounters send you on a downward spiral, that affects not only your mood but self worth? You may be dealing with RSD. In this episode, I talk about how it has affected me, how I live with it and the things that I need to be aware of in order for it not to take over my life.

The type of loss that sometimes society says "you aren't allowed to grieve for because they are still alive." It leaves you in a weird, confusing limbo... Shall I reach out? Do I forgive them? How am I supposed to feel? It's not as simple as learning to let go. In this episode, I talk about my own recent experience and emotional healing with loss, forgiveness and how it changed m...

I thought I had to be fully healed before I could want love. Turns out… that mindset was making me feel guilty for something completely human. In this episode, I talk about healing, connection, and why you’re allowed to want love without having everything figured out. Because wanting love isn’t the problem… losing yourself in it is.

Have you ever convinced yourself it was love… When really it was obsession, fantasy, and a nervous system looking for safety? In this episode of The Anxious Girly, I talk about limerence: what it actually is, why it feels so intense, and why it can be so hard to let go. This isn’t about shaming yourself for 'being dramatic.' It’s about understanding what’s really happening when you become...

Do you find yourself stuck in a loop of wanting to become better? To finally take those scary steps into evolving your life, yet that pesky voice in your head tells you otherwise and always gets in your way? Then this episode is for you!

In this episode of The Anxious Girly, we’re talking about who you choose to keep around you, and why it matters more than we’re often taught. I reflect on what it means to stop giving unlimited access to people who don’t pour back, don’t show up, or leave you feeling smaller after every interaction. This isn’t about bitterness, punishment, or cutting people off impulsively, it’s about self-respect...

After my crisis, I made a quiet decision: to step away from alcohol-not as a rule, not as a forever thing, but as an act of self-care. In this episode, I talk honestly about: why alcohol stopped feeling supportive for me how cutting it out wasn’t about control or punishment the difference between “giving something up” and “choosing clarity” and what it’s taught me about listening to my body and ne...

In this episode, I talk about my recent experience seeing a mental health professional-and how I left the appointment feeling more confused and dismissed than supported. This isn’t an attack on psychiatry or mental health services. It’s a personal reflection on what it can feel like when you reach out for help and the support you receive doesn’t meet the moment you’re in. I’m sharing this because...

If speaking up makes people uncomfortable, that doesn’t mean you’re wrong-it means they’re not used to emotional honesty. This episode dives into what it really means to be a sensitive, self-aware person in a world full of people who deflect, minimise, or can’t meet you where you are. You’re not asking for too much. You’re asking the wrong people. Let’s get into it. 💕 https://linktr.ee/TheAnxious...
