On Episode 14, I spoke with Jessi, or more commonly known across her socials and on Twitch as \'Rockamummy\', about anxiety.

\\n

Specifically, we talk about Generalised Anxiety Disorder (GAD) and Social Anxiety.

\\n

We spoke about:

\\n

- Jessi\\u2019s own experiences with generalized and social anxiety

\\n

- where she feels it may have stemmed from

\\n

- the symptoms and signs from someone that may be suffering from anxiety

\\n

- if suffering from anxiety has had an impact on Jessi\\u2019s everyday life

\\n

- how Jessi has learned to manage her anxiety, through coping strategies, knowing her limits, but also challenging herself.

\\n

Jessi also shares her story about her experiences at PAX Australia over the years, and how she has continued to learn to manage her social anxiety at such a massive annual convention.

\\n

----------

\\n

Jessi is sharing her story and experiences, in an effort to help others that may share a similar story, that may also be suffering from severe anxiety, as well as to help better educate non-suffers, to remove the stigma and common misconceptions surrounding this mental illness.
