"Sometimes, anxiety is like the sea: it ebbs and flows, but it's always there."

This book was powerful, it gave me the knowledge of anxiety. Anxiety, the word gives me goosebumps. So many people have it and don't know it.

While reading i recognized my family members and myself somewhere on the pages. It's safe to say that my mother is a hoarder. I learned lots of things through this book.

Me, I'm claustrophobic. I've always felt a fear in an elevator of my space getting smaller or walls closing in. My skin itches when I'm in small places, i cant breathe. I remember once in my childhood, my brother rolled me up in a blanket tightly with just a small opening for my face. I screamed, thrashed. It felt like I was dying. I hated that feeling, of no space and being stuck. It's claustrophobia (enclosed spaces).

I found interesting Mitigating Death Anxiety, Freud's Five Stages of Development.

I appreciate all of the Mind Tools, ideas to help us, everyone with anxiety. Grounding, Journaling, Aromatherapy, Meditation, Yoga, Breathing.

This book was enlightening and I'm happy that Dr.Tracey Marks took the time to writes this.
