Coping With Anxiety (on a sailboat) | Podcast 022

What happens if you're gripped by fear and anxiety on a small boat in the middle of nowhere, and there is no help coming? In this frank discussion, we cover what set off Jamie's anxiety, how we are coming to terms with it, and what it means for followtheboat. We talk through your comments (thank you 🙏). And we try to work out if it's worse being on a boat if you're feeling anxious. YOU ARE NOT ALONE. It's OK to ask for HELP. If you're struggling with mental health issues, please TALK to a friend, family member, or mental health professional. YOUR feelings matter, and there are people who CARE about you. You don't have to go through this alone.
