0:00.0	I'm no good I taking good advice and I'm self careless so don't tell me twice that
0:09.4	lately I've been so stuck in my head that I forget just about everything my therapist said
0:18.1	maybe I'm self-helpless maybe I'm self helpless.
0:25.0	Maybe I'm self helpless.
0:27.0	Maybe I'm self helpless.
0:31.0	Maybe we're are self helpless.
0:37.0	Hey everyone, welcome to self helpless.
0:39.0	I'm Delaney Fisher and today I'm joined by Dr.
0:41.2	Romey Mushtalk, who was a board certified physician in
0:43.9	neurology. She's a brain doctor and she's the USA Today best-selling author of
0:48.6	the busy brain cure. So a little while ago is stumbled upon this, Hurry Sickness, which looking into the term further, I found out it was coined by cardiologists Meyer Friedman and Ray Rosenman.
1:00.0	I may be mispronouncing those by the way I'm not sure but this term is from their
1:04.1	1985 book called Type A Behavior and Your Heart and Hurry Sickness is described as a
1:10.5	behavioral pattern that emerges when a person has a feeling of being constantly behind,
1:17.2	feeling rushed, having a sense of urgency that doesn't actually need to be there.
1:21.5	So if you ever feel like you have to get everything done today
1:24.7	or you want everything done as soon as humanly possible, maybe you wake up feeling behind on your
1:29.6	to do list before you even get started. At the end of the day, you wish there was more time in the day to get everything done.
1:36.0	I know for me in times of heightened stress and anxiety I always have the wish man if I could just stop time for like three weeks to a month I'd be solid right it would allow me to
1:46.8	catch up on everything or feel like my life stuff and work stuff is more manageable so even if you have fantasies about stuff like that, you might be having
1:55.8	this hurry sickness thing. So it's that consistent anxiety and stress even if the things on your
2:01.2	to-do list are not life or death situations. So I obviously resonated with this term a lot and even though I've made a lot of improvements in this area, you know, years ago I would have resonated with being a workaholic and stuff like that. I don't anymore, but it does still come up from time to time and I'm just better at managing it and kind of talking myself through it.
