Hamster Wheel: Living with Anxiety Disorder by Katy Kelley (@katykelley)

• Katy is a life-long suffer of this disorder. She is also the VP of Global Marketing for @CohnWolfe. People with this disorder are plagued with irrational thoughts. They spend a lot of time worrying about things that most likely could never happen. My favorite was “I don’t think my friends think I am hip enough to go to Williamsburg.” This worked for me as I stay with my daughter who lives in Williamsburg when I come to the city. It turns out that this disorder can be managed and that it can be very useful in business. Katy tells us that thanks to anxiety disorder, she can find the pitfalls in anything her organization dreams up. There are even smart phone apps that help such as Anxiety Coach, Worry List, and SootheTube.
