Panic Away Made My Confidence Soar to New Heights

I had met some lovely girlfriends for dinner the other night that I met from my anxiety support group. One of them brought another friend whom I was just meeting for the first time. She had suffered with anxiety as well. I was very impressed by her self confidence when she came into the room, she was very pretty but it wasn’t that it was the way she held herself. I wanted to ask her if the Panic Away Program helped her to become so confident? By the end of the night we were all talking like we’d known each other for ages and I finally had the courage to ask her what her secret was. She laughed and told me I wouldn’t believe it but not even a year earlier she was a totally different girl. This is what she told me:

After being laid off from her job of 5 years she began to feel overwhelmed with anxiety and was not able to find another job. She said her anxiety became so intense that it began to affect every single area of her life! Eventually it came to the point where she thought she would never be able to experience any relief.. Her self esteem dropped even more when she lost her job, she had always been more of a nervous, quiet and reserved type but now she was isolating herself from family and friends. She covered up her pain by eating and gained 50lbs! She cried every time she looked in the mirror.

She didn’t tell anyone about her fierce anxiety attacks because she was ashamed and embarrassed and she didn’t know how to make it better on her own. She still felt no relief even after trying a few herbal treatments. She woudn’t take the medication her doctor suggested even though she felt desperate. As more time passed the attacks got worse and she couldn’t bear when the next one would occur.

Her mom noticing how overwhelmed and stressed she seemed finally approached her and mentioned that she was doing a lot of research and wanted to talk to her about anxiety. As soon as she said the word anxiety she burst into tears, but a part of her was glad it was finally out in the open. She said she came across an anxiety program that she thought could really help – and that’s when she told her about Barry Joe McDonagh’s Panic Away Program.

That was 10 months ago….now she’s lost the 50lbs and she’s won the battle against anxiety! When she starts to feel the odd bout of anxiety she is now able to handle it calmly and it quickly dissipates when she applies the things that she learned through the Panic Away Program. And as an added bonus she has gained a whole new self-acceptance and self confidence!

She has now gained self confidence and self acceptance and wants to encourage other people with anxiety that they can conquer anxiety- you just have to love yourself enough to want to get healed!
