199: The Hidden Emotional Struggles of Living with Anxiety: What No One Talks About

When you’ve been struggling with anxiety, panic disorder, or agoraphobia for a while, it’s not just the fear that weighs on you. There are so many heavy emotions that creep in... comparison, grief, anger, hopelessness, shame, isolation, exhaustion, fear of the future, and self-doubt.

In this episode, I’m getting really honest about these emotions, how they often show up, and why they’re actually a normal part of the recovery journey. I’ll share pieces of my own experience and what I hear from my students and clients all the time, so that you can feel seen, validated, and far less alone.

I dive into:

  • Why comparison (to your past self or others) can feel so crushing, and how to respond with compassion instead.
  • How grief shows up in anxiety recovery and why acknowledging it is so important.
  • The role of anger, hopelessness, and shame, and why they often signal deeper pain that needs attention.
  • How isolation, exhaustion, and fear of the future make recovery feel even heavier.
  • The truth about self-doubt, and the small but powerful flickers of hope that remind you healing is possible.

If you’ve been carrying any of these emotions, I want you to know you are not broken and you are not failing. These feelings are part of the process, and with support and compassion, recovery is absolutely possible.
