Hi all. * I just wanted to shout out that if you're a fellow anxiety sufferer, I HIGHLY recommend reading the book, "Anxiety & Phobia Workbook (6th edition)". * I read it recently and it was sooo interesting and so reassuring, I wish I had read it years ago!! * It's a very easy read and also gives you a link to their website where you can download audio meditations and deep breathing exercises. I really cannot stress how awesome this book was, I couldn't put it down lol. * Anyone struggling plz give it at try! =) And if you do, please let me know what you think!

Thank you so much for your recommendation and sharing, although is hard to read a book while having anxiety and panic attacks constantly…

  • Oh awesome! Yes I know that feeling lol. It is deff worth a try though, I really hope you find it as helpful as I did! :slight_smile:
  • I liked it bc it’s very reassuring, it goes over all the common fears anxiety gives you and basically uses real evidence to explain why these fears are silly. Like for one example: during panic attacks I used to get sooo worried my heart was gona fail from beating so hard/fast, but they go over this exact fear and scientifically explain why it’s impossible for that to happen. N now when I have a panic attack and my hearts racing, I just think of what the book said and I don’t get as freaked out anymore. It’s pretty cool/interesting!
  • The book also covers why you may be having certain phobias/fears and what can cause them too. I also found that part very interesting. It’s funny bc while reading all these diff parts, I just kept thinking ‘omg I do that all the time’ and ’ omg that’s exactly what I always feel/think" haha. It def makes you feel less alone.
