Consulting with a trusted medical professional such as a doctor can help you know the state of your health, so you won’t have to be crippled by anxiety and depression. Taking one step at a time is also ideal to manage and cope with whatever it is you’re going through.<br/><br/><b>[Timecodes]<br/></b><br/>[0:00] Introduction<br/>[02:07] Nancy, one of the show’s listeners, reached out to John.<br/>[05:47] Anxiety causes nausea.<br/>[06:12] Self-diagnosis is dangerous.<br/>[08:40] Know the state of your health from the advice of a trusted expert.<br/>[12:25] It is important for you to be proactive.<br/>[16:11] John encourages listeners to motivate themselves.<br/>[21:07] Cognitive distortions lead you to the worst thoughts about your health.<br/>[25:10] Take one step at a time.<br/>[27:00] Don’t give up.<br/>[28:00] Celebrate micro-wins.<br/><br/><b>Rate the show: </b>If you enjoyed this episode, please consider providing an honest rating of the show here <a href='https://www.mentalhealthtodayshow.com/reviews/new.'>www.mentalhealthtodayshow.com/reviews/new.</a><br/><br/>Your review will really help the show reach more people - thank you!
