I’m Rahul from Chennai. It’s been long years I’m known with anxiety. A lot of things scare me. But i never shown it out, i never had to because it was so obvious that my pals would call me an alarm clock. Whatever it might be; a class test, an interview, sitting alone in the party, i go anxious.
It is still fresh in memory how i started shivering, breathlessness and fell unconscious seeing my final year business management paper. My tutor had to rush taking me to hospital; end up taking all possible tests. Results were normal; doctors told me i was fine. I felt so foolish; all my classmates were laughing at me. Anxiety has been following me as a shadow, everywhere every time.
Later I came across an article written by a psychologist, which talks about anxiety (disorder) and steps to overcome panic attack. Gaining confidence, I went to meet my psychologist Mr. Gopi at Ahana Hospitals, Madurai. Now i can say that i have much control over my anxiety and panic attacks. I started meditation and I am practicing breathing exercise regularly. The freedom i sense is beyond everything.
