Topics
Amanda Doyle: 我开始服用抗抑郁药和抗焦虑药来应对长期的焦虑和愤怒。虽然药物让我感觉好一些了，但我仍然担心药物会让我忽略生活中需要改变的事情。我意识到，过去几年我一直在用酒精来麻痹自己，戒酒后，我不得不面对所有的负面情绪。 Abby Wambach: 播客给了我一种新的目标感，这种感觉与我之前从事足球运动时获得的目标感类似。现在，人们更多的是因为我的播客而不是我的足球生涯而认识我，这让我感到非常满足。此外，我通过在播客中分享自己在公共厕所遇到的性别认同问题，并与听众产生共鸣，克服了由此带来的焦虑。 Glennon Doyle: 我在节日期间暴食症复发，之后我通过瑜伽和参加康复会议重新开始了康复之路。我意识到，‘出现’并不意味着要做到完美，即使只做一点点，也是一种进步。此外，我和朋友们一起进行了‘事后分析’，及时反思自己的言行，这有助于我们增进友谊，并避免不必要的焦虑和困扰。 Amanda Doyle: I started taking antidepressants and anti-anxiety medication to cope with long-term anxiety and anger. While the medication has helped me feel better, I'm still concerned that it might cause me to ignore things in my life that need to be changed. I realized that for the past few years I've been using alcohol to numb myself, and after quitting drinking, I had to face all the negative emotions. Abby Wambach: The podcast has given me a new sense of purpose, similar to the sense of purpose I had when I played soccer. Now, people recognize me more for my podcast than for my soccer career, which makes me very satisfied. In addition, by sharing my gender identity issues in public restrooms in the podcast and resonating with the audience, I overcame the anxiety that came with it. Glennon Doyle: I had a relapse of bulimia during the holidays, and after that, I started my recovery journey again through yoga and attending recovery meetings. I realized that 'showing up' doesn't mean having to be perfect, even if you only do a little bit, it's still progress. In addition, my friends and I did a 'post-mortem' together, reflecting on our words and actions in a timely manner, which helped us enhance our friendship and avoid unnecessary anxiety and distress.
