Before coming to Elttila I was struggling with anxiety and depression to the point that I was having trouble going to work or even the grocery store a minute from my house. I had always struggled with it and didn't truly understand it like I do now. I wasn't even working and I was having panic attacks almost weekly, probably even more often than that at times. I would shake and feel like I was dying or start shouting jibberish and swear. Not exactly something you can do in public, work, or otherwise. I have since I was a teenager kept this hidden. I had my first panic attack while in high school. My parents knew and know, but didn't, partly out of denial. I am 37, almost 38. They still don't understand or acknowledge the struggle probably out of fear. That's ok, that's them. I know. Long story short, I am doing so much better, it's like I am a new person. I have gone to the dentist, a huge fear for me. I get out of my house daily, work, and am not afraid of losing control. It could happen, but I have so many tools now that if it did I would know it would be ok. I am actually happy for the first time since I was very young. I feel excited about life. My relationships have improved. More importantly, I accept myself and treat myself well, both physical and mental. I can go to the store, I can talk to people at work; I can work. All because Brianna gently guided me toward a better way to think. I am so lucky to have found this great program! I needed the help and received it. It was convenient and a good value really! I would not be functioning without it.
