Anxiety United

10/10/2025

🧠 World Mental Health Day 2025

I recorded a short video to talk honestly about where I’m at right now, the highs, the lows, and everything in between.

Over the last few weeks, I’ve faced a lot of anxiety, even after doing something massive like driving across Europe. It just shows that recovery isn’t always a straight line. Some days you feel like you’ve got it all together, and others hit you harder than you expect.

Whatever stage you’re at, just remember, you’re not alone. Someone out there understands exactly how you feel.

Keep talking about it. Not just today, but every day. 💬

Parts 2 and 3 are now up!

Part 2 covers our time in the Czech Republic, the wedding, Lednice Castle, meeting family, and even quick trips to Austria and Slovakia.
Part 3 is the journey home, through Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium, and finally back to the UK.

Plenty of ups and downs along the way, but a lot of good moments too. Feels good to look back and see how far we actually went.

This is Part 1 of my European road trip vlog - driving from the UK to the Czech Republic while living with anxiety. 🚙💭

I’ve always shared openly about how anxiety can make even short journeys tough… so tackling a 1,000-mile drive across multiple countries was a huge personal challenge.

In this first part, I share the reality of what it’s like: the fear, the negative thoughts, the small wins, and the determination to keep going. We cross the Eurotunnel, stay in France and Germany, and finally make it to Lednice in the Czech Republic.

If you’ve ever wondered whether anxiety has to hold you back - I hope this shows that even when it feels impossible, you can still achieve amazing things.

In this first part of our European road trip, we set off from Tamworth in the UK and make the long journey all the way to Lednice in the Czech Republic. Alon...

Had such a lovely time in Czech Republic 🇨🇿. Those of you who know me, know how much of a challenge this was for me. My first time ever leaving the UK. Being 1000 miles away from home. Going to the wedding of people I've never met. Shopping in Austria & Germany, swimming in France 🤯

Yes there have been moments of anxiety, yes I've had plenty of 'what if' thoughts, and yes there were moments where I questioned my ability to do it.

But now we're on our way home and I'm currently sitting in Germany eating breakfast. 7 countries (8 including England) in a couple of weeks. What a ride it's been so far. Still got 3 days driving to do, but we're making the most of every moment.

6 years ago I couldn't even enter my local shop without feeling anxious. I felt less anxiety in a German supermarket last night than I used to in the coop less than 1 mile from home.

My anxiety hasn't gone away, it still throws me off sometimes and it can be as intense as ever, but that doesn't mean you have to quit. I could either panic at home on the sofa or panic in Prague. There is no difference. Get out there and live a little.

I almost didnt take this trip because of my thoughts, how wrong were they.

Been a while, but I'm still here...

Yesterday I experienced one of the most intense waves of anxiety I’ve felt in a long time. For nearly two hours I was stuck in this overwhelming sense of doom, a heavy, crushing dread that made me feel like something terrible was about to happen, even though nothing actually was.
