The terms depression and anxiety are often discussed today, and their impact is profound and widespread. It has detrimental effects on people and as of today, WHO reports that over 280 million worldwide are affected globally due to mental health issues from depression to anxiety and more. In the US alone, it affects about 40 million adults, regardless of their social standings and from all walks of life. Samantha Busch, wife of NASCAR icon Kyle Busch, too, has recently opened up about her struggles with anxiety.

When enquired by a social media follower, she cited ways and lifestyle choices, from her personal experience, through which one can help oneself overcome the issues. 

Samantha Busch opens up about overcoming anxiety with lifestyle changes

Samantha Busch has always been vocal about her struggles in life. She struggled quite a bit with infertility issues, and it was a long battle, not a short one, with her opting for IVF to conceive. And recently she shared about her issues with anxiety. Although she didn’t clarify her reasons, she shared about her experience. Not just that, she even gave her followers the way she manages her anxiety levels. 

She said on her Instagram stories, “I actually had really bad anxiety for a while but I feel like focusing on my cortisol levels. Cutting out certain things in my diet and adding certain supplements had made a drastic change.” Cortisol, often called the ‘stress hormone,’ increases in response to stress and helps regulate various bodily functions such as blood pressure, immunity, and metabolism. While there is no one-size-fits-all approach that can work for everyone, there are tried and tested ways that help lower it.

Samantha Busch also shared with her followers the way she lowers her stress hormone. She gave multiple ways one can achieve that, including, “Tapping, Acupressure Mat, Box Breathing, High-protein Breakfast, Reducing Caffeine intake, Low-intensity workout, Adding in High-fat, healthy foods, and Using blue-light blockers.”

Just like any other condition, anxiety, and depression, too, can be checked upon and healed from. One just needs to take that proactive step. Busch sharing her struggles connects well to all the people who follow her on socials. She has always been on the front foot helping people struggling with infertility get the treatments needed with her foundation. And while it might seem like a simple story about anxiety, one never knows whom it might just help—because she is giving them—hope! A hope that even the worst days can get better. This is especially true for her because her husband is struggling and that might play havoc on her mind too.

Partners share their happiness, but also their sadness, and go through tough times together. Kyle Busch is having the worst stretch of his career at the moment, and it is affecting his wife too. In fact, just last week, Samantha Busch broke her silence over Kyle Busch wrecking almost all races this season. After the race at Pocono ended and the entire debacle of Corey LaJoie vs Busch was done, she posted a story saying, “What do you even say? This year has been heartbreaking.” Here, “heartbreak” is the keyword suggesting that she is not in the happiest of her mental states right now.

Will Kyle Busch win the next race? Will he not make it to the playoffs? Many questions loom large. Plus, the internet is not always a kind place, and rumors, memes, and scrutiny by fans do more harm than one can imagine. For a driver who swept weekends, the fact that he hasn’t yet made it to the playoffs is surprising. It was just last year that by this time he was well off to the playoffs with ample race wins.

The entire season after the incident with Stenhouse Jr. has been about him crashing, someone crashing into him, or him getting into a wreck or mechanical failures. Right now, as Kevin Harvick said in his podcast, a win looks far off the horizon for him. We can only hope he and the family can get past this and if Busch doesn’t make it to the playoffs, take the time to reevaluate and be back with a bang next season.
