Intro

Hello there :)

I started this blog to share my personal experience with anxiety and what helps me to cope with it. Anxiety and experiencing panic attacks is something that my very rational self did not accept until quite recently and was fighting it in all the wrong ways! I felt ashamed, weak, I committed all the common mistakes which only made the issue snowball (really, really quickly). My attitude to most things and problems would a lot of the time be 'get over it!' so accepting any kind of mental issue was rather overwhelming!

When I originally started to look into anxiety and tried to find help I was embarrassed. Reading medical expertise seemed relevant but it felt a bit impersonal and didn't motivate me enough. I felt that hearing other people's stories helped so I decided to share mine. Please remember that I am not a therapist and what I will write about is mainly based on what works for me. I do, however, believe that the main principles discussed here apply to any kind of anxiety and/or phobia. I am going to be completely honest so if there's anything you'd like to know please ask :)

To my lovely friends and family: I also created this page so you could understand better what anxiety really is (to me) and cheer me on while I progress to manage it better. Hang in there! ;)

Love, Kasia xx
