I must tell you all: I'm working very hard at coping and moving forward so I can toss this secondary anxiety out of my life even sooner than the last time.
Chantelle is back on 'SpeakYourWay' after a long break, and she's ready to dive deep into her personal battles with OCD and secondary anxiety. As an Addictions Mental Health Worker, Chantelle combines her professional knowledge with her own experiences, making this episode both informative and deeply personal. She opens up about the intrusive thoughts and relentless rituals that come with OCD, such as excessive hand-washing and rigid routines.
These rituals, she explains, are more than just quirks—they're coping mechanisms for overwhelming anxiety that can disrupt everyday life. Chantelle also sheds light on secondary anxiety, a condition triggered by the stress of managing OCD. She discusses how this added layer of anxiety can make life even more challenging, but also shares practical strategies for coping. From seeking professional help to breaking the stigma around mental health, Chantelle offers a toolkit for anyone struggling with similar issues.
Her candidness provides a sense of solidarity and hope, making it clear that while the journey is tough, it's not one you have to walk alone. This episode is a must-listen for anyone affected by OCD or secondary anxiety, whether personally or through someone they care about. Tune in for a heartfelt conversation that blends professional insights with real-life experiences.
