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.
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.

Having anxiety doesn’t mean you’re broken.
I’m walking this path too — and you’re welcome to walk it with me.
