What actually helps when anxiety feels unbearable? In this episode, I’m sharing the honest truths and reminders I wish someone had told me when my anxiety was at its worst. These are the lessons I learned the hard way—like how you’re not broken (just overwhelmed), why avoidance makes anxiety worse, and how learning to rest changed everything.

Whether you're in a spiral, feeling lost, or just need someone to sit beside you and say “I get it,” this episode is for you.

Ever feel like everyone else is coping better than you? Like you’re the only one struggling, falling apart, or secretly wondering, “Why can’t I handle life like other people?”

In this short, calming episode, therapist Jess Eden shares why anxiety tricks you into believing you’re incapable, and why your brain is probably forgetting all the evidence that you’ve handled more than you realise.

You’ll hear:
✔️ Why anxiety highlights past “failures”
✔️ How comparison and survival mode keep you stuck
✔️ A compassionate reframe on why you're not behind or broken
✔️ A reminder that you're more capable than your brain tells you

Do you find yourself scrolling social media endlessly? Maybe you're not even fully aware its happening - until 1 hour late you're left feeling frustrated and annoyed at yourself for wasting your life. Maybe you've tried setting screentime limits but you still find yourself on an Instagram or TikTok deep dive.

You’re not alone — and you’re not doing anything wrong. In this episode, therapist Jess Eden explores the link between anxiety, doomscrolling, and digital burnout. We’ll talk about why it makes so much sense that your brain reaches for your phone, how this habit soothes your nervous system (temporarily), and how to shift away from it gently and without shame.

We’ll cover:
✔️ Why you turn to your phone when you're anxious, overwhelmed or stressed.
✔️ Why every time you've tried to reduce your screentime nothings changed.

✔️ How to gradually break the anxiety-scroll cycle without going “offline”

This isn’t about shame or self-blame — it’s about awareness, compassion, and making phone use less reactive and more intentional.
