How to have a relationship when you have anxiety

Do you suffer from anxiety? This week we're joined by our lovely friend, and psychology student, Azura to talk all about how to deal with anxiety in relationships and being non binary.

We begin the episode with a segment where we hear some of our listeners' insecurities in their relationships; how they broke their mental health to their significant others in relationships and how partners have helped them manage their mental health in relationships. We also did a segment to see how many people experience mental illness or mental health problems (81%) and whether they'd prefer to date someone who has similar experiences or not.

Azura then tells us a bit about the differences between feeling nervous and having an anxiety disorder and why it can be important to distinguish between the two. They then tells us about their own relationships and tips for how they have encouraged romantic partners to understand their anxiety in relationships, as well as what their current boyfriend has done to help them cope with their anxiety while dating. We then move on to discussing how their gender has been a cause of their anxiety in the past, before realising they identify as non binary, and how outwardly presenting yourself in a way that matches your inner feelings can really benefit your mental health.
