Man, it's like there are totally layers to anxiety, to the ways in which every thing in our lives can contribute or counter the other measures we take to combat the anxiety- when my life is very up-in-the-air and uncertain, its harder to even calm down enough to DO anything to combat the stress - a total irony! It's like "I'm too stressed and jumbled up to actually commit to meditating right now." It's hard to sometimes take action to soothe the one thing, while external factors contribute TO the anxiety. It's like putting on bandaids as someone is repeatedly stabbing you...

My mental health journey has been absolutely all over the place (still is) but it's so validating to hear Bill saying these things that resonate so deeply with me, and to have his art to get lost in as well is the cherry on top. Also I loved seeing him in Beau is Afraid. Can't wait for him to direct his first feature!

Anxiety is all about the imagination and Bill has a wonderful capacity to imagine. Actors use their ability to feel things/emotions as their medium. It's a gift that keeps on giving. Getting some insight into their thought process and developing some distance makes it much more workable and you learn to use it to create a more balanced view. You can feel things without being overwhelmed by what arises. You don't want to lose your ability to imagine, especially as an artist, but harnessing it is so valuable!! His exploration of what his imagination is creating is gold. He's accepting and working with who he really is at a deeper level in a healthy way. To be honest and vulnerable enough to publicly share this is so therapeutic for all of us. Accepting our shared humanity makes all of us feel much more real! Feeling our emotions won't kill us but suppressing them can, at the very least, make life pretty unbearable. We're born to feel and be open to life.

Listening to this was extremely validating and comforting. I just wanted to share, and this is something I'm sure Bill Hader may have already considered for what it's worth, but I used to drink energy drinks every day at work which amplified my anxiety but helped me focus. Then I was diagnosed with Attention Deficit Disorder (with general anxiety and panic disorder which often go together). I like to push myself professionally and personally and found lifestyle changes (like ones you discussed) plus medication for my ADD helped a great deal. No more energy drinks needed and with the right medication I am functioning with noticeably less anxiety. Probably because I am able to rein in all the thoughts and focus on priorities, be better prepared and think on my feet. Thanks very much for sharing your experiences; I really empathize and it takes a lot of guts to keep putting yourselves out there given the internal battles you face. Take care.

Exercise for me has been the thing that has an incredible impact on anxiety (which requires good sleep too I feel). I will go from a ball of nerves to a cool head over the course of a workout, or just a fast 20-30min run. I believe Bill mentioned before he has ADHD, as do I. I think exercise is crucial for those who struggle with that.

@@TenPercentHappier he certainly is. Genuine as they come. It also happens that he's my favorite SNL guy. Those dateline sketches cracked me up hard 😂 Also, thank you for your work. Just started listening to your podcast yesterday after watching this 🙂

Let me say I LOVE Bill Hader. Can't decide whether I'm "wtf?" or "you go dude" about the fact that he clearly set his alarm to five-minutes-to-podcast, rolled out of bed and grabbed the microphone.

People always say that you don’t feel meds immediately and if you do it’s a placebo effect, but that’s not true. If you’re in a really bad way and at the end of the rope, you’re going to feel that first dose or two. It’s a literal shock to your system. Nowhere near the final effect of what that med will do for you but the med absolutely is effecting you and it’s not in your mind.

We get so comfortable with "being" the same way we've always been, no matter how awful that is. Being anxious can become addictive itself in that if it's removed from me, I no longer know who I am or how to behave in specific moments. It's a tough gig, but the best work I've ever done, and continue to do. A teacher of Buddhism has said that her teacher referred to mindfulness as not forgetting what your doing, moment to moment. It isn't virtuous, it's a tool. Sniper's need mindfulness. Nuff said.
