Are drinking and college synonymous? Can you name a movie with college students where alcohol and partying are not pictured? Let us know when you find one!
While culture promotes the college drinking lifestyle, what do students really think about it? Does it help you find friends? Date with the best intentions? Ease social anxiety?
For many young people heading off to college, anxiety becomes more pronounced and may reach new levels away from home and all that is familiar. Becoming part of a new community requires social interactions and alcohol is often touted as a balm for the socially anxious. It has become a staple in social gatherings…”Let’s grab a drink” or “let’s hit the bars or frats.” A drink in hand is expected and some might say, “required” in any college social setting.
In today’s episode, we talk to Abby about her experience with anxiety, diagnosed at 8 years of age, alcohol, and managing her symptoms. This girl knows this subject well! Her insight is poignant about the relationship of anxiety and alcohol. Tune in to hear from someone who has lived the ups and downs of anxiety in college. She found what works for her–and it’s not medication. We eagerly wrote down her list of tools and tips–hopefully, you will too. Many of us can relate to this issue…please know, you are not alone!
