Why Worrying About Others Fuels Your Anxiety: Insights from Panic Attack Recovery

Often anxiety and stress can come in the form of worry about other people, not just ourselves.
Ever find yourself constantly fretting over your loved ones, even when there's nothing you can do to help? In this episode of the Panic Attack Recovery Podcast, host Matthew dives into how worrying about others is not just a sign of care but a form of anxiety and control. You might think you're being helpful, but this behavior often leads to stress and frustration for both you and those around you.
Matthew shares real-life examples of people who obsess over their family members, friends, and uncontrollable situations, illustrating how this kind of worry can be intrusive. He offers practical advice on how to break free from this cycle by practicing mindfulness and self-awareness. One key takeaway is the importance of distinguishing between what you can and cannot control.
To drive this point home, Matthew references the Serenity Prayer from Alcoholics Anonymous, which emphasizes accepting the things you cannot change and focusing on the things you can. This episode is a must-listen for anyone grappling with anxiety and looking for actionable strategies to regain control over their mental well-being. Tune in to learn how to set personal boundaries and find peace in letting go.
