Help! I'm In An Anxiety Spiral! (Episode 90)

Help! I'm In An Anxiety Spiral! (Episode 90)

"Spiraling" is one of the terms heard quite often in the community of people struggling with anxiety disorders.


There's a trigger like a thought or a sensation, then in short order you feel completely out of control, being dragged down into the pit of fear where you thrash about trying to make it stop but failing and just feeling worse and worse.


This week on Disordered we're taking a closer look at what it really means to spiral. Is it a spiral, or an endless loop? Are you really out of control? What makes it feel that way? How do our old friends shock, attention, and resistance factor in here?


If you find yourself often triggered into "spiraling", this might be the episode for you. Check it out!
