Coping With Anxiety (on a sailboat) | Podcast 022
February 16, 2023 by followtheboat | Language: EN Play Time: 00:50:26 | SAILING YOUTUBERS
What happens if you’re gripped by fear and anxiety on a small boat in the middle of nowhere, and there is no help coming?
In this frank discussion, we cover what set off Jamie’s anxiety, how we are coming to terms with it, and what it means for followtheboat.
We talk through your comments (thank you 🙏). And we try to work out if it’s worse being on a boat if you’re feeling anxious.
YOU ARE NOT ALONE. It’s OK to ask for HELP. If you’re struggling with mental health issues, please TALK to a friend, family member, or mental health professional.
YOUR feelings matter, and there are people who CARE about you. You don’t have to go through this alone.

We've been blogging, vlogging and podcasting about living on our boat since 2005. If you love travel, sailing, fishing, diving and photography this might be the channel for you... Each week we post a 15-20 minute snapshot of what we did. It might cover anything from sailing, travelling, meeting people, fishing, cooking, shopping in exotic markets or hanging out on a tropical beach, to boat maintenance (there's a lot of that when you live on a boat) and tackling challenges or bureaucratic conundrums. There's also a fair bit of photography and diving. Even though the world continues to throw spanners at us, we love being perpetual travellers. And we've never regretted making the big leap into this alternative lifestyle for even a nanosecond. If we make you laugh or inspire you, then these videos haven't been a total waste of time. Pop round to the pub and share a drink with us... https://followtheboat.com/pub/ Jamie and Liz xx
