Are you an anxiety and/or panic and/or depression sufferer who is taking medications and would like to stop?

Or do you just want more information about your condition?

If so, then this blog is for you.

As you will read in my Profile, I am an ex-anxiety/panic/depression sufferer of 15 or more years who is now cured and medication-free. While drugs have a definite role in a person’s recovery, they are not the ultimate solution for everyone.

That’s why I’ve created this blog – to share with you my knowledge and experience in all three areas - anxiety, panic and depression, because I have learned that these three can overlap.

I suffered from depression initially, probably starting when I was still very young, like about 12 or so. My parents didn’t take any action to find out why I was what they called “moping” because they didn’t understand about depression as many do today. Consequently, mine was never diagnosed.

In my mid-20s I got married. Very soon after, depression hit like a hammer. And I hit the bed, for an entire month, getting up only to eat a meager meal and use the washroom. My husband left me alone that entire time, probably because he didn’t understand what was wrong and didn’t know what to do.

Eventually, the depression lifted and I managed to live the next 4 years fairly well. Until our marriage started to fall apart. That’s when the anxiety hit and with it, irrational fears that soon turned into panic.

My divorce became final in 1975. At that time, I was visiting a therapist who had me on medications for the anxiety and panic. Coming off the drugs was an anxiety-ridden concept in itself, so I continued to visit him regularly, filled with questions and concerns about my life over the previous week. In the meantime, I read everything I could get my hands on related to all aspects of my condition. I became obsessed with every feeling, every thought, every symptom.

Then, the inevitable happened. He determined he couldn’t help my anymore and in an instant, I was on my own. How would I survive without the medications he’d had me on for two years, I wondered?

He didn’t abandon me, but referred me to another therapist who determined that I might have some form of epilepsy that was causing my “weird feelings”. Being petrified of needles and doctors, which was also magnified by my condition, I fled from the waiting room and never went back.

That’s when my life began to change for the better. Over the next few years, I was no longer on medications but was slowly learning how to overcome my anxiety and panic alone. And one day, I was cured.

Throughout this blog, I will share with you my knowledge and experiences in the hope that I reveal something that helps you to better understand your condition and how you can cure yourself using natural methods.

If you’d like to get more information, please visit www.book-titles.ca where I sell several natural anxiety relief books. You’re sure to like the new fun multimedia product I just discovered that uses biofeedback to teach you how to relax and reduce stress.

I wish you all the very best in your recovery.
