Learn How Panic Away Can Help the Pressure of Success
More women experience anxiety but men experience it too! I had dinner with a male friend a couple of weeks ago and we talked a lot about our lives. He is a very successful salesman but underneath it all he suffers a lot of anxiety. Being a new single parent of 3 girls he also has a lot of pressure at work, he is always working hard to be make more money. I know that men can experience enormous pressure to bring home the ‘money’ for their family or themselves but when he admitted that he experiences fierce anxiety attacks at home I knew it was time to help him.
He now has the girls 50% of the time and hates that his family is broken apart. It’s difficult being a single parent but he tries his very best to give the girls stabilty, laughter and fun. When he doesn’t have the girls he is working hard trying to meet his quota. He told me that if numbers are down, his sense of worth takes a fall as well. He constantly measures his value by how much he sells. When he’s up he’s really up but when he’s down he’s really down. You wouldn’t know it to look at him, he appears very confident, handsome and self assured. He attends many social functions, charity events, has several good friends and a very nice home. But he admitted those quiet nights at home can be terrifying. The thoughts that swirl around his head are “what if I lose it all?” He came from a very poor upbringing and worked hard to be where he is but with sales it’s never a sure thing. The thought of losing it all sends him straight into panic. He feels sick to his stomach and gets so wound up that he told me on several occasions he has literally trembled with crazy thoughts going through his mind like “what if I die?”
I introduced the Panic Away program to my friend and I have to admit he was a little hesitant. At first he was determined to deal with it on his own, but then I asked him if he’s tried anything to get better and he sat quietly without an answer. With the Panic Away program helping thousands and thousands of people I reassured him and asked him to just give it a try. He said to me that he’s exhausted from all of the anxious thoughts and finally is at the point where he really wants to deal with it and is willing to take the steps to do so, fantastic!
