  Hollywood Actress, Erin Marie Hogan, Opens Up About Her Battle with Anxiety and Depression Have you ever wondered how an actor could be in a film, yet struggle with a mental illness? Think Robin Williams, Erin Bell, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson and many more. I think we sometimes assume that movie stars have it made and live a perfect life, but as you will hear from Erin, it's not always as glamorous as it may seem. Erin talks about when her anxiety and panic attacks began, what triggered her first panic attack, and what she is most known for as an actress. Erin is best known for her role as Samantha Finley in Paranormal Entity and has starred in Hold Your Breath (Natasha), House of Manson (Linda Kasabian) and she has played on many TV shows including,The Bold and the Beautiful.

  Three Tips You Can Do Right Now To Help With Pre-Event Anxiety

  —32 minS1

  Do you know what this feels like? You have an important event coming up (presentation, interview, business meeting, going out to lunch) and it's a week away or a few days away, and that's the only thing you can think about. You toss and turn and you just can't fall asleep because you're thinking about all of the things that will go wrong. You think about how the "Spotlight" will be on you, you worry about messing up, and you worry about making a fool of yourself. Your heart beats faster and faster the closer the event gets, your palms get a little sweaty, and you feel like running away to get away from it all! Then, when you are in the moment of the event you realize that it's not as bad as you thought it would be. After the event, you feel relieved or even ecstatic that you did it. Then the anxiety hits again before the next event. Does this describe you? You know what it's like, don't you? The feeling of intense anxiety before an event that you need to do. It could be the feeling of anxiety the night before your presentation, the anxiety right before you go on stage to sing, or the intense anxiety that hits you hard when anticipating getting on an airplane. This is what I call pre-event anxiety. The anxiety spikes right before a big event. Pre-anxiety is usually much worse than the actual event that you're worrying about. You know what I'm talking about, right? Does your anxiety get intense the week or day before the event you have done? Do you get sick to your stomach thinking about giving a presentation at work? Ever tempted to call in sick from work or school in order to miss the company picnic? 3 tips that you can do right now to help with your pre-event anxiety 1. T-Chart: Focus on what you know to be true, rather than the fear of the unknown. 2. Positive self-talk and Tell someone you are anxious and get their support. 3. Make a detailed plan (step by step) of what you are going to do leading up to the event. Logically you know you'll get through the event, but emotionally it feels like the worse thing in the world. You have got to face your anxiety if you are going to get better, but you need to know how to face your anxiety.
