"No one is you, and that is your superpower." -Elyse Santilli
On today's episode, Abby and Margot welcome their next guest; Darius Fennell. Darius is a mental health recovery and therapy advocate, a passionate published author, and a support group facilitator among many other things. He shares his journey with anxiety which started from childhood as a chronic worrier and empath. In his youth Darius was very competitive and had a 'winning is everything' mentality, often externalizing his own self worth. His anxiety followed him into adulthood, as it does for so many Warriors, still having no label for his experience. He hit the breaking point after having a full blown panic attack at age 40, which landed him in the hospital. After being diagnosed with GAD, depression, and agoraphobia after several physical tests came back 'normal,' he knew it was time to take life by the reins and seek support for his mental health. He started therapy, went to support groups, and game planned strategies for coping with anxiety. Darius shares so many inspiring, and valuable anecdotes as well as useful tools and skills to try. The Warriors have a blast in the lightning round per usual, and Darius shares a fantastic win of the week!
