Episode 22: Grief You Didn’t Know You Were Carrying (And How It Shows Up in Everyday Anxiety)

Sometimes the anxiety isn’t fear—it’s unspoken grief trying to surface. In this episode of My Brain’s a Mess (And That’s Okay), we’re talking about hidden grief: the quiet, unnamed losses that don’t get closure or acknowledgment but still weigh heavily. Maybe it’s the life you didn’t get, the version of you that never existed, or the safety you never felt. If you’ve ever wondered why your anxiety feels oddly emotional, this might be why. We explore the connection between anxiety and unprocessed grief, how loss shows up in your nervous system, and what to do when sadness disguises itself as spiraling. In This Episode, You’ll Learn: • What hidden grief actually is (and how to identify it) • Why grief often shows up as anxiety, irritability, or shutdown • Nervous system strategies for gently processing loss without overwhelm This podcast is for informational and educational purposes only and is not a substitute for mental health treatment.
