hi everyone I'm Kell ooro and this is
0:09
adaptable Behavior explor so what
0:12
resources or support would you recommend
0:14
for our viewers who are maybe in the
0:16
early stages of wanting to address you
0:19
know things related to having health
0:21
anxiety I would say get an EMDR
0:24
therapist that would be my first stop
0:27
Googling stop Googling St webing I do
0:29
not anything now I'll tell my husband
0:32
will you Google this for me because he
0:33
can appropriately look at Google right
0:35
offer some discernment right not me it's
0:38
you know you have a headache so you have
0:39
a brain tumor and I'm like that's it I
0:41
knew it you know it's over it's over
0:44
like planning my own funeral so that for
0:47
sure um there's a girl I really like on
0:49
Instagram it's I think it's healthcore
0:52
anxiety and she also has a podcast
0:55
called the health anxiety chicks I think
0:57
it's health anxiety chicks but she talks
1:00
a lot about it and she kind of
1:02
normalizes how we all have this
1:04
Collective thing and a lot of the fears
1:06
are the same and it kind of makes it
1:07
feel so much like okay if all these
1:09
people have this the chances that I'm
1:11
one in a million is probably very low
1:13
you know so it normalizes that there's a
1:16
a a group think piece and she does like
1:18
great posts where she's like unclench
1:19
your jaw you do not have a brain tumor
1:21
like she does like you know she's very
1:23
positive too so I like that that's great
1:25
so there's a resource uh what things do
1:28
you do personally that help in ensure
1:30
the best stability that you can related
1:32
to you know Health diet exercise you
1:35
know whatever you do to try to manage
1:37
and maintain just the most basic aside
1:40
from therapy and all the things you
1:41
mentioned there yeah so while I've taken
1:44
up cold plunging at your
1:46
house so I've been doing that at least
1:48
11 minutes a week it was awful today
1:50
though yeah um it felt so cold for it
1:53
really did could F my
1:55
toes I was like this hurts um so I've
2:00
definitely tried to decrease the amount
2:03
that I socially drink right I've
2:05
definitely tried to decrease the amount
2:07
of caffeine I've had people don't
2:09
understand how much of a stimulant
2:11
caffeine really UPS the anxious you know
2:14
it just it does yeah my natural path was
2:17
like try just green tea it's cleaner a
2:20
little bit better for your mental health
2:21
yeah overall healthier probably yeah
2:23
that's that's awesome and um and you
2:26
know I would like to also say exercising
2:28
is really important so if uh even if
2:31
it's just a long walk it's really
2:33
beneficial to keeping that body moving
2:35
and calming things down and getting out
2:37
in the sun yeah the sun keeping that
2:39
vitamin D up super important so just to
2:42
wrap up here what would be something
2:43
that you want to make sure our viewers
2:46
know about this journey related to
2:48
health anxiety um before we part ways
2:51
today I would say there's hope it can
2:54
change it does get better um and it does
2:58
take work and you have to be very very
3:00
patient because it doesn't happen
3:02
overnight so and you have to be patient
3:04
with yourself and you have to be patient
3:06
with others who might uh run run lower
3:10
patience and tolerance with you because
3:11
it's been a long standing thing and they
3:14
understand maybe more about what it is
3:16
then you do because it's happening to
3:17
you and in you and so um understanding
3:20
that it impacts the people around you
3:21
and having Grace for them while they are
3:24
patient while you work through things I
3:26
think is another and being compassionate
3:28
with yourself too right absolutely
3:30
having a lot of compassion for how hard
3:32
it is yeah well I appreciate you being
3:35
here so much it's such a hard topic uh
3:37
to talk about you've been incredibly
3:38
vulnerable and honest and open with us
3:40
and I can't thank you enough for that so
3:42
thank you so much thanks yeah so thank
3:45
you so much for tuning in today if you
3:47
would like more information about health
3:49
anxiety please check out that Instagram
3:51
that Taylor talked about and uh there
3:54
are also other resources and of course
3:57
seek therapy it's very helpful and right
3:59
recognizing that most things have an
4:01
underlying cause and we learn what we
4:03
live and so this is just one
4:04
manifestation of how anxiety can look
4:08
and I hope that until we meet again that
4:10
you lead with love it'll never steer you
