I Suffered from Panic/Agoraphobia/Anxiety for over 20 years - Full Recovery Is Poss

[Ex Panicy Person]

Hi,

I just want to re-introduce myself.

I suffered from panic attacks/agoraphobia/health phobia/OCD and general anxiety from the age of 7 until I was about 27 when I became symptom free.

Over the years I tried pretty every therapy under the sun, a few prescription drugs but in the end I really used my mind in a CBT sense to become completely free of anxiety (I never thought that this would be possible but I assure you it is).

I continue to use relaxation techniques and CBT/mindfulness techniques for my own wellbeing.

Please do not hesitate to ask me any questions. Positivity is really the key :)

That's very encouraging. Thank you.

It almost sounds as if I am bragging; but it really is do-able. Hard work but a full or partial recovery is really achievable.

I am on this bumpy road - hopefully after nearly 13 years I will get past this at some point too! I can deal with the anxiety somewhat, but I cannot get past the travel hurdle...agoraphobia needs to be beaten!
:) thanks for letting us into your life a little, by reading from someone at the end of the bumpy road and start of a new one , I can tell its not going to be forever for me!
