Anxiety Recovery and Beyond -

A personal journey through anxiety and a place to recover together.

Not long ago, anxiety and panic completely took over my life. After living a confident, outgoing and succesful life I was suddenly housebound with Agoraphobia. Panic attacks came out of nowhere and were a daily occurence for months. My body was constantly stuck in fight-or-flight.

Dizziness, breathlessness, body shaking, brain fog, chest pain and fear became daily companions.

I felt lost, frightened, and confused, my body felt like it had been hijacked and I didn’t know anyone who truly understood what I was going through. Doctors wanted to put me on meds, therapists didn't truly understand what it felt like to live with it.

Anxiety Recovery & Beyond exists because I don’t want anyone else to feel as alone and lost as I did.

When I was at my worst with crippling anxiety, panic disorder and agoraphobia, I spent hours searching and praying for answers.

But no one could tell me what it was like going through anxiety, what recovery looked like or how to get there. I had to try and figure it out myself. It was lonely, frustrating and scary.

I came across a lot of promises of quick fixes, things like

"Do this 1 thing and cure your anxiety in just 7 days!"

But healing doesn't work like that, healing from Anxietyand Panic Disorder takes time, there isn't one quick fix. Your body and mind need time to heal and come back to a place of peace and calm. There are however lots of tools that do work if you apply them consistently over time and allow yourself the time to heal.

What I wanted was a roadmap to recovery. Someone to say if I did this, this and this consistently I can expect this to happen over time. In my search for healing I created my own roadmap of the different stages of healing I went through, what worked and what didn't work in each stage and how I felt along the journey, the ups and downs, the tears and triumphs.

This website and community is designed to be that roadmap.

It’s built from lived experience, not theory — and it’s here to support you while you recover, in your own time.

My Journey So Far

I didn’t heal overnight and I’m still on the road to full recovery.

But I’ve learned something important:

Anxiety isn’t a death sentence, you are not stuck with it for life and you can recover.It’s a nervous system that’s overwhelmed and stuck in survival mode.Through trial, setbacks, and steady progress, I’ve learned how to:

  • Understand what my symptoms really are

  • Stop fearing the sensations in my body

  • Calm my nervous system instead of fighting it

  • Rebuild confidence in everyday life

  • Start enjoying and living life again instead of surviving

I share that journey openly — the good days and the hard ones — so you don’t have to figure this out alone.
