My name is Andrew Thomas, the author of this end2stress website. I know exactly what you are experiencing. Stress, depression, panic attacks and anxiety messed up my life for years.
I know first hand how stress can make you feel - helpless, lonely, isolated and afraid. For a while I was living a nightmare. It got so bad that at one point I thought I was going mad. I used to be afraid to leave my house even to go to the shops just a hundred yards away. I used to wake from nightmares in the middle of each night, soaking wet with sweat - terrified.
That was the low point. Today I am completely cured and I did not take one pill, tablet or potion to do it! I am happy, relaxed and I enjoy life to the full. I have even run a half marathon charity race in each of the last five years.
How I Recovered from Stress...
shows you how to apply the simple techinques that I used in my recovery and I totally believe that you too can make yourself well again.

Mindfulness
reveals a set of simple yet powerful practices that can be incorporated into your daily life to help you break the cycle of unhappiness, stress, anxiety and mental exhaustion and promote genuine joie de vivre - the kind of happiness that gets into your bones. It seeps into everything you do and helps you meet the worst that life can throw at you with new courage. The book is based on Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT). MBCT revolves around a straightforward form of mindfulness meditation which takes just a few minutes a day for the full benefits to be revealed. MBCT has been clinically proven to be at least as effective as drugs for depression and it is recommended by the UK's National Institute of Clinical Excellence - in other words, it works. More importantly it also works for people who are not depressed but who are struggling to keep up with the constant demands of the modern world. MINDFULNESS focuses on promoting joy and peace rather than banishing unhappiness. It's precisely focused to help ordinary people boost their happiness and confidence levels whilst also reducing anxiety, stress and irritability. |
