Panic Away Made My Confidence Soar to New Heights

Posted on timeFebruary 10th, 2010 by userAdvisor


I was enjoying a great dinner at a restaurant with some girlfriends the other night that I met through an 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? I finally had the courage to ask her what her secret was after we’d been speaking all night. She giggled and stated I wouldn’t believe it but less than a year earlier she was a completely 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 wasn’t able to find another job. She stated her anxiety became so intense that it began to affect each single area of her life! Eventually it came to the point where she thought she would never be able to experience any relief.. She had always been very nervous, quiet and reserved but after losing her job she began to have horrible self esteem and started to isolate herself from her family and her friends. She covered up her pain by eating and gained 50lbs! She cried every time she looked in the mirror.

She had no idea how to make her anxiety go away on her own, she was ashamed, humiliated and wouldn’t open up to anyone. She tried a few herbal treatments but still felt no relief. Although she felt desperate, when her doctor suggested medication she said no. As more time passed the attacks got worse and she couldn’t bear when the next one would occur.

Her mom finally approached her and stated she wanted to speak about ‘anxiety’ after seeing her daughter seem so overwhelmed and stressed. 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 stated 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’s now able to handle it calmly and it swiftly 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’s now so passionate about helping other people with their anxiety attacks through support and encouragement. She stated if she has the ability to do it anybody can! As an added bonus her confidence has soared to new heights and she cares about being back to her care-free self!
