I am anxiety

David McLaughlin

a step-by-step guide to anxiety recovery

Are you or is someone close to you dealing with anxiety? There are lots of books about this modern-day condition. Most are written by psychiatrists and psychologists, with lots of information on the latest tools and techniques to beat anxiety. There aren't, however, many books written by people who have actually suffered from anxiety - and recovered. People who actually know what it feels like to be haunted by strange and terrifying thoughts and feelings day after day. At the age of 33, following a period of significant stress at home and work, David McLaughlin developed Generalised Anxiety Disorder. He remained in the grips of anxiety for a number of years, which led to unemployment, despair and hopelessness - and a trip to the emergency ward. Determined to find the joy in life again, he spent time learning about his condition and how it affects the mind and body. By acquiring this knowledge, and using it to break the anxiety cycle, he was able to fully recover. He is now sharing this knowledge in this book, which is designed to help others recover. By helping sufferers understand how stress and anxiety work and what they do to the brain and body, I Am Anxiety helps break the never-ending cycle of worry and fear that keeps sufferers stuck. David provides the reader with a step-by step-guide to recovery, in a practical and easy-to-follow way
