I had dinner with a male friend the other night and he opened up to me about the anxiety he was facing. More women seem to experience anxiety but men certainly do too. On the surface he appears as a very successful salesman but inside he suffers from a ton of anxiety. He’s now a single dad of 3 little girls and his job keeps him under a lot of pressure, he’s always working to be more and more successful. I know that men can experience enormous pressure to bring home the ‘money’ for their family or themselves but when he admitted that he experiences fierce anxiety attacks at home I knew it was time to help him.
He now has the girls 50% of the time and hates that his family is broken apart. He tries to bring stablity to the girls and wants to be the best father he has the ability to be but there’s no question, it’s hard being a single parent. When he doesn’t have the girls he is working hard trying to meet his quota. He told me that if numbers are down, his sense of worth takes a fall as well. He constantly measures his value by how much he sells. When sales are up he’s really happy but when sales are down he’s down too. You wouldn’t know it to look at him, he appears very confident, handsome and self assured. He has a nice house, lots of friends, donates to a lot of important charities and goes to many social functions. But he admitted those quiet nights at home can be terrifying. The thoughts that swirl around his head are “what if I lose it all?” He came from a very poor upbringing and worked hard to be where he’s but with sales it’s never a sure thing. To him losing it all sends him into a state of frenzy. He feels sick to his stomach and gets so wound up that he told me on several occasions he has literally trembled with crazy thoughts going through his mind like “what if I die?”
I have to admit he was a tiny hesitant when I introduced the Panic Away program. At first he was determined to deal with it on his own, but then I asked him if he’s tried anything to get better and he sat quietly without an answer. I confirmed that Barry Joe McDonaugh’s Panic Away has helped thousands of people and just to hear me out. He stated to me that he’s tired from all of the anxious thoughts and finally is at the point where he really wants to deal with it and is willing to take the steps to do so, fantastic!
