Hi everyone. My name is Leah. I live in London, have a slight obsession with house plants & scented candles; and have a pet rabbit named Harriet. In my day to day work I am an Event Manager in the charity sector.
For as long as I can remember, anxiety has played some part in my life. Even before I even knew it was a real thing. From an overthinking school child worrying about who would pick me as their PE partner because I was always the last one left to be chosen to experiencing extreme exam stress before a mock exam and coming out in hives.
I guess all of these things were normal for me because at the time I did not know any different. My anxiety has never been officially diagnosed by a medical professional but I can definitely identify with the symptoms. I started to explore what anxiety actually is about 3 years ago and now feel comfortable in saying that anxiety is something I live with and try my very best to manage.
That being said, I do not want the negative side of panic attacks and racing thoughts to rule my day to day life so I am here to share my general coping strategies and self-care routine.
There are so many themes I want to explore including work, commuting, shopping centres and travel, so please do come and join me.
