About Otterly Anxious

Hi! I'm Marine 🦦

This website is the result of my personal journey.
It's a "Tool Box" I turn to everyday.

I suffer from Complex PTSD, and chronic anxiety is unfortunately part of the package. Over the years, I’ve searched for ways to feel safer in my body and more at peace in my mind.
What you’ll find here is a collection of tools that have helped me navigate emotional waves, ease physical tension, and reconnect with myself, especially in difficult moments.

Everyone’s healing path is different and I hope this guide can offer a starting point, a bit of support, or a reminder that it’s okay to sometimes feel lost.
