Hey there and welcome back to the Ground Up Show. I'm Matt Diavella and today we're talking about anxiety.

If you saw the video I uploaded to YouTube this week, you know that I've been dealing with some pretty severe anxiety.

Someone who has inspired me a lot and written extensively about her experience with anxiety joins me for this episode.

It's my friend Caroline Zuck. This is really a candid conversation

between the two of us, sharing our experiences, and talking about what's worked for each of us.

If you think that you might have anxiety or you're experiencing some of the symptoms we talk

about, it's important that you speak with your doctor as soon as you can.

Thanks for listening, and I hope this one helps.

Caroline, thanks for joining me today.

So we've got a bit of a heavy topic to cover, and we're going to be talking about anxiety.

Yes.

Yeah, so I think we're going to talk a little bit about our own personal experiences, some things that we've gone through, the things that we've learned.

But I wanted to start by just kind of defining it in a way because I think there's two

different types of anxiety there's the everyday

I don't want to say normal person but just like your everyday anxiety that you get when you when you're

nervous about something when you've got the jitters when you feel a little bit uneasy and then

there's what's called generalized anxiety disorder, severe anxiety.

There are a couple of different forms of it.

But what is the main difference between the two and how bad does it get when it comes to

generalized anxiety?

Yeah.

And again, not to, I don't want to respond here as though I'm like the, you know, anxiety expert of any kind. Let's just like get that disclaimer out there. But I have had many, many experiences with it. And over the years and especially, you know, we've just talked about the fact that I'm sort of thankfully at the tail end of probably, well, definitely the worst period of anxiety I've ever had.
