Purpose

I started this blog because I know how it feels.
I know how it feels to be utterly consumed by anxiety.
To suffer from daily panic attacks.
To feel like no one understands what I am going through.
To feel angry, ashamed, alone.

When I got to a point where I was barely functioning in my daily life, I knew that I needed help.  And I was lucky enough to have the capability to get myself help in the form of cognitive behavioral therapy with a psychologist that specialized in treating panic disorder.  I know that many others are not this fortunate.  Treatment costs a lot of money and there are only a few good experts in the field.  I want to share my experience and the skills I have learned with other sufferers of anxiety and panic disorder.  I know what it is like to search the internet for treatment answers, and to read through a website that sounds really promising, only to get to the bottom of the page and be expected to pay $500 for help.  I don't want to make money off of someone's suffering.  I know how bad it can feel and I don't think anyone should have to feel like that.  Hopefully I can show you how to move in the right direction and realize that anxiety and panic does not control you.  This disorder does not have to ruin your life.
