If you've ever struggled with your mental health, you'd probably agree with the fact that much of anxiety stems from doubt. Whether it's worrying about what others think of you, or worrying about what your thoughts mean about you, finding certainty is never guaranteed.

Trigger Warning: This podcast contains mature themes and potentially triggering topics. Please seek professional help if you are in need of mental health assistance.
