I’ve talked about my experiences with social anxiety for years. I was diagnosed as a teenager and have been living with social anxiety since. It’s affected so many aspects of my life and a decade ago I couldn’t imagine publishing one book let alone two before my thirties. Everything that involved other people terrified me. I was so focused on their validation that I forgot that what they thought didn’t matter as long as I loved myself and did what made me happy.
Social Anxiety And Writing
Dr. Robert F. Mullen from Rechanneling.org and I connected through WordPress because his blog is mostly about mental health and social anxiety in general. In particular, he has a very realistic approach on how we can change our thinking patterns and habits to reduce or permanently get rid of those that cause social anxiety. It’s something I also truly believe in because it’s exactly how I decreased my social anxiety.
Dr. Mullen has been so supportive of my writing for years and shared my first book on his blog too. He’s always been a really good friend as well and has gone out of his way to be kind and encouraging. He offered to help promote the book and I was happy to say yes. We decided a guest post on his blog would work well for both of us. So, today my guest post on Rechanneling.org went up and I wanted to share it with everyone here too.
In the post, I talk about social anxiety and writing despite it. How we can live our best lives even despite our anxiety and much more. It’s a pretty personal post and I would be so honoured if you checked it out. Please do let me know what you thought of it in the comments of that post. I’ll be there responding to comments. Thank you!
