I’ve been suffering from fears caused due to irrational religious thoughts since last november. Though I know they are stupid, I couldnt over come them. Thanks for this article and I’m hoping to overcome this situation at the earliest.

You are some kind of special person. It’s nice to know that probably most of the world can be as anxious as the rest of us-I never thought that. It’s all in how you handle it. I always thought it was how you react to it. There is a big difference there. I don’t react to stress very well. Maybe I can handle it a lot better with your help and Gods. I feel a little better after reading your first newsletter with the mini-course and I am not sure why so it has to be what you said and how you said it. I have to share. Thank you for a better day today.

Hi Other Posters and Barry,
Wow, here are people who have experienced the same physical sensations as me and my daughter, I had no-one to communicate with about the less well known side of GAD, the initial tingling, fainting a couple of times, Panic attachs, weight loss, edgeness, difficulty doing any task, most worringly the ones that pereviously the subconsious took care of, and I took for granted that I’d normally not require any effort to think about. With GAD even making sandwidges took huge concentration and will power. The constant effects of GAD when driving, affecting eyesight, hearing, breathing, stomach, and stamina was compounding. I even fought my fears with showering in the morning, that became a 3 miniute get in and get out affair. The Dr’s and specialists helped best they could with the medication & mental part, but I was feeling alone physically waging a seasaw war with it. For a year I could only sleep with a pillow over my head, I was so afraid. I didnt know what I was afraid of, and that made me afraid. Exercise, running, burning the bad adrenalin that kept poisoning my body, and getting the relief of the endorphins in return were my best result at ‘coping’. Keeping up the normal routine of life and not hiding was my last line of defence. Understand now, I was in emotional exhaustion for decades, everything poised for a shocking event to trigger the anxiety and panic onslaught. Now I am in the right place, the right time with the right friends to support what I am doing, so like they say “Bring it on”. I cant wait to greet you (fear, anxiety etc). I am my own tool box and when you show me your worst, I’ll invite you in, suck you up, wizz you up, pour your thoughts onto paper and burn them, put a notch of achievement on my belt and embrace the whole experience. I can feel again and not be afraid. Breathe, stretch, smile, relax. LIVE.

Thank You God for this site and for Barry Joe McDonagh! This article already was so so calming.
My first and last (thanks to God) real panic attack was a year ago, I felt I was either going to die or to go insane, I choosed to live and to do everything I could ever imagine, I made hudge changes in my life and started to trust the Lord, Myself and not my anxiety….till few days ago I felt suddenly like the panic attack will come again (because of my sudden illness that keeps me at home) I now know this little panic attack-like thing of mine wanted me to remember to LIVE and not waste what God has given to me and here I’am and now I know it just can’t come, cause You Barry said so and I trust You beacuse God led me to Your page. I’m not afraid anymore. Than You so much!
