Hello and welcome to my web site
It's nice to meet you - I hope my site can be of some help to you
Just to introduce my self, I a regular type of guy living in the UK, married with a couple of kids and a job that, in the main, I enjoy. To be honest, my life is good !
However, as you may have guessed from the title of my web site, I have a had a few issues with anxiety and panic attacks over the past few years.
This site is my attempt to capture some of my experiences to share with you, to let you know about some good places to look for more information and some of the techniques that I have tried to stop the symptoms of anxiety.
The good news is that I have far less issues than I used to have with anxiety. I believe that if you are patient with yourself and spend some time looking at some of the information available across the Internet about anxiety, then you can probably improve things for yourself as well.
Unfortuately, in the 'real world' out there, I never really seem to come across anyone else who admits to having anxiety issues. But, from what I read, there are a lot of people about who suffer with this in silence. It seems to be a secret club of people that no-one wants to belong to (understandably), or will admit to being a member of.
The thing to take comfort from is that you are not alone in dealing with this - there are many thousands who suffer from it ! And guess what ? No one ever died from an anxiety attack (doesn't feel that way though when you having an attack does it ?). I have had many emails from people who tell me that they have anxiety and experience remarkably similar symptoms. So remember : you are not alone in dealing with this.
There really is too much in life to enjoy, so make you mind up today to move forwards and beat any amxiety issues you have. You may not totally eradicate it from your life, but can definitely lessen it's effect by educating yourself about the condition, maybe getting professional help, using self-help books and tapes and applying some of the suggested techniques found on this and other web sites.
Finally, I don't have any products or services to sell to you - I just hope this site can help you shortcut some of the searching that I have done over the past few years.
I wish you the best of luck on your road to recovery. Let me know how you are doing, and check out my weblog to see how I am. Take care.
