Jordan Reid: Laughing Through Anxiety on Mental Illness Happy Hour

I think one of the really important things in being able to get to that place where you can feel the feeling and all its awfulness is to cut out the distractions, put the phone down, turn the tv off right, you know whatever it is that you're using to soothe yourself.
Ever wondered how humor can coexist with anxiety? Jordan Reid, the witty blogger behind Ramshackle Glam and co-author of The Big Activity Book for Anxious People, sits down with Paul Gilmartin on 'Mental Illness Happy Hour' to share her unique journey. From her battles with anxiety to her unexpected exit from 'It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia', Jordan's story is a rollercoaster of emotions and resilience.
She doesn't just talk about her struggles; she also dives into how she uses humor as a coping mechanism. Together, Jordan and Paul explore their fears and loves, touching on deeper issues like trauma and body image. One standout moment is when Jordan emphasizes the need to cut out distractions to truly feel your emotions, saying, 'Put the phone down, turn the TV off, right, you know whatever it is that you're using to soothe yourself'.
