But before I get into the details of the awesome program, I want to share about my First Anxiety Attack. After my sisters died, I started to have anxiety and not just anxiety, but full on, blown out anxiety attacks. (Can I get an AMEN if you can relate?) It was crazy. This was different than Grief because with Grief, I was sad, angry, emotional and all the feels, which I knew was grief, but anxiety, that was different.
- Anxiety would show up randomly.
- Anxiety would show up un-announced. Deep Sigh.
- Anxiety would produced an overwhelming feeling of lack of control and well…Anxiety.
I still remember my first Anxiety Attack, it was real, vivid and VERY SCARY. I was about to enter into a huge presentation with the CEO of the Fortune 500 company, that I worked for at the time, and I to the elevator and got up, BAMN! I couldn’t move. I could barely breath. My heart was racing, my mind was confused. It was as if TWO separate BEINGS were inside of me, having two freaking conversations, all fighting for control.
- Mind: Am I having a heart attack?
- Body: I can’t breath
- Mind: OMG I can’t breath
- Body: You can forget about walking or going anywhere
- Mind: I have a meeting!
- Body: Not right now, you don’t
- Mind: OMG I’m having an anxiety attack. FEAR Panic ensured.
- Mind: wait how is there two pieces of me having a dialog?
- Body: Not breathing right now
- Mind: ok, slowly sit down and breath
- Mind: Breath
- Body: The Breathing is working, Ok you can return to normal
“WTF just happened?!” Was the overwhelming question that kept going on over and over in my mind.
- Why do I have anxiety?
- How do I get rid of this shit?
If you have any remote similar experience and have felt the anxiety creep up and are so ready for that sh*t to be over, then Anxiety No More is for you!
