I too have read so much and searched for understanding and solutions to fear and anxiety. Fear manifests in so many ways and treating anxiety/depression/an eating disorder can temporarily relieve the fear, however, what your ideas do is recognise that the root of al those presentations might be fear itself. It is always helpful to hear personal and alternative ideas about anxiety...I look forward to learning more from your website. I’m so glad I ’stumbled’ across your website.

I really related to your blog about the anxiety video. It was so true to my own life it scared me! I also relate to your statement about people regarding us in a way we don't like. So many well-meaning, otherwise loving people in my life (including my husband) have told me to "snap out of it." It's funny how anxiety can zap so much energy from a person. Things that would tend to make a "normal" person tired, such as a glass of wine, actually give me energy, because they take away some of the anxiety. Thank you for sharing your thoughts, and thank you Alex for posting the video. It's nice to know I'm not alone. Time to get ready for my counseling appointment! Take care all.

Makes you realise how lucky you. I guess that ties in with last week's message. Actually, it also reminds me of an article i read about Chris Hoy, the cycling gold medalist. It told of how he had suffered panic attacks for years but still went on to achive. I think that's a really great inspiration for all sufferers (though I hate that term!). Well, it was for me. So much so that I've cut it out and stuck it in my wallet to produce whenever I feel a little rough. Hope you've had a great Xmas, Andy Hey Alex,

I just wanted to share a couple of things with you. First of all, thank you Alex for this funny video and for what you are doing to help us :o) Anxiety does not kill you but it makes you feel that life is sometimes less worth living it. Life becomes sort of limited and also, in my case, I lack of energy which prevents me from doing many things I'd like to do or I used to do. They were perfectly normal things that most people do on a daily basis but for "anxiety sufferers" they seem like climbing up a high mountain. On the other hand, "anxiety sufferers" may learn to live with all the so called "normal symptoms" but we should remember that "anxiety sufferers" can also be sick sometimes and at that point, we may think that what we feel are normal symptoms caused by anxiety, whereas they could be serious and we may neglect them, so I don't intend to be dramatic but I think this may be an issue and we should be alert but try not to panic too much. Many times, people look at us in a way that I don't like, as if we were acting in a play. It would be different for them if we had a broken leg, which they can see, Unfortunately, anxiety, for those who don't know what it is, looks like an abstract thing and they are unable to understand how we feel. What I less like of all this is feeling helpless although there's is hope. Sometimes I fell really strong and sometimes I feel quite the opposite, devastated, overwhelmed..., as if my life belonged to anxiety. All the best. Take care. Hi everyone!

But I found her video inspiring, because she was getting through it, and looking for answers. And by the way, she posted another video about a year later, and she'd been kaking good progress. I guess I should post that one too sometime. It's great to see people overcome this kind of stuff. Alex. Garry, you’re right, it is heartbreaking.
