Trigger Warnings: Suicidal Ideation, Anxiety, Depression, PTSD and other Mental Illnesses.

theBipolarVegan Podcast - E3 - Interview with Carolyn Johnson.

This month's interview is with Carolyn Johnson where we talk about how she deals with her severe social anxiety. Carolyn has a degree in Psychology, trained in CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy), Reiki and is also a Herbalist.

We discuss learning about your disorder from scientific papers and studies (knowledge is power), finding local support groups, hobbies, panic attacks and Mindfulness.

Also the importance of finding the right doctor/medical professional for you, making them know what you are going through, being honest with them and being prepared with a list of things you want to talk about.

There is very little to no mental health support in Carolyn's area. What there is has a very long waiting list. When you do get to an appointment they never give you enough time. Private treatment, Carolyn thinks, can help. They can at least give you a direction to research your own mental health condition whilst you wait. Plus different areas will offer different treatments and waiting times - It’s a minefield!
