This is a story of promise and hope for anyone who has suffered from panic attacks or depression.
I used to be scared to wake up in the morning because I was so unsure of what the day might bring. People who know me may be surprised to hear this. On the outside, it seemed as if I had it made. I looked put-together, ran a successful consulting business, and maintained an active social life.
On the inside, though, my life was a constant battle. I never knew when intense waves of depression and anxiety would come out of nowhere and engulf me. Sometimes these feelings would be gone in a day. Sometimes they would last weeks or months. This went on for 30 years.
