0:00.0 | My name is Will DeFries, and this is the Sunday Scariest Podcast, your cure for the Sunday Blues. |
0:15.0 | I don't really have a perfect way of describing anxiety without a medley defaulting to an artist I |
0:19.3 | listen all too little of, Bruce Springsteen. In his song, I'm on fire, he says, at night I wake up with |
0:25.6 | the sheet soaking wet and a freight train running through the middle of my head. While it's not exactly |
0:30.1 | the most subtle way of describing the feeling we all feel from time to time, it perfectly encompasses |
0:34.4 | the way I personally feel sudden onset stress. While most listeners likely found their way to this |
0:39.3 | podcast because of some sort of anxiety, or at least in search of an anxiety cure, I don't necessarily |
0:44.8 | think there's one end all be all for anyone out there struggling with something. Someone wants |
0:49.7 | asked me in an interview, what makes you think people care enough about what you say enough to |
0:53.8 | listen to you? While being somewhat blunt, it was the single most honest question I've ever |

1:15.1 | something that can help me too. Since starting Sunday Scariest, writing has been my therapy. |
1:20.0 | I do less of it these days, and I believe that's in part because it's taught me to get a strong |
1:23.6 | hold on my emotions when I think I'm spiraling. The older I get, the more I get a bird's eye view |
1:28.0 | of what makes me happy. I wasn't an English major, I don't read nearly enough. Nothing I do or have |
1:34.6 | done has led me to believe that I have a resume worthy of considering myself to be a writer. |
1:38.9 | And honestly, that doesn't really matter to me because I never started this to be something that |
1:42.0 | I would put on a resume. In fact, I started so that I could never even think about that word ever |
1:46.5 | again. So far, it is working. This week, I decided to throw things to the listeners and ask what |
