Sitting with It

Episode 1

Sitting with it

Annie, a young woman, wakes up on the morning of her birthday and is immediately met with the anxieties of who has texted her, who she will talk to, and how she will cover up her disdain for the day ahead. We watch Annie get ready while combatting the uncontrollable fears arising from "mundane" tasks. With each moment that passes there is another twist and turn to overcome on her journey. Post credits, a psychologist, neuroscientist, psychiatrist, and a person afflicted with anxiety give an in-depth explanation on the emotional turmoil that comes with anxiety, how to ameliorate the symptoms, and a path forward for greater connection, support, and compassion.
