Working Through My Anxiety Real Time | Thought Challenging In My Wig Hair Loss World

I am just an anxiety girl living in a hair loss world. Today was a day filled with anxiety waiting for one of my wigs to arrive all day, it was delayed and as my anxiety started to take over I thought I'd share this day and my thoughts with you. I have had therapy for my extreme anxiety - social and generalized, but it is still a huge part of my life and my body physically often shows my anxiety via turning red, turning my fingers and toes red with swelling, facial swelling and a whole host of other things. While the topic of my channel is hair loss this video is surrounding the topic of anxiety and thought challenging, as it pertains to me on this day while I wait for my wig to arrive, which it didn't.

Anxiety stems from fear and uncertainty. Instead of challenging and trying to rationalize mine away, i validate it. "Of course you're terrified....the wig might not come and that's scary. " and leave it at that. Each time I come to realize part of life is fear and uncertainty and that there's no way around it. You get more comfortable with it and can actually FEEL afraid instead of being afraid you're afraid. Just my little take away.

I get chest pain and I get dizzy and my head spins. I think living alone can make it worse ( for me) because it’s easy to go down that rabbit whole because there’s no one I’m interacting with thus I’m not distracted by my thoughts. I catastrophise (spelling?..) as well, also wait for the other shoe to drop.

Y- to you and any women I would say over 40 who have anxiety, it wouldn’t hurt to mention it to your gyno as anxiety can get worse in perimenopause and menopause and I doubt most women know this. They might have more thoughts on how to deal with it. Not trying to fear monger, just be aware it can happen to some women.
