Customer Reviews
Eventually I came across this book by Dr Weekes. She explained clearly that every physical sensation I was experiencing was due to my oversensitized nerves. How my panic/anxiety attacks were not something that my body was just doing for no reason at all, but that by changing my reaction to them I could feel that I wasn't in the grips of something uncontrollable.
To understand why my head felt spacy, why my arms would tingle, why my heart would race were the most helpful pieces of advice I had been given. To really understand that I wasn't going to die, collapse or go mad helped with the fear - fear cycle and this was the first step to my recovery
This book helps you to 'own' your anxiety. Dr Weekes shares many helpful case studies and the book is full of practical advice to help you though those awful feelings. She really makes you feel that you are not on your own, destined to a life of anxiety or pill popping.
There is no overnight cure, but please try this book. You CAN take control and given time you WILL get through this.
She is nothing short of a lifesaver for thousands of people all over the world who struggle to get through their lives everyday whilst living with anxiety, stress and depression.
The only downside of Dr Weekes book is that it is an object of its time, in that it speaks often of the 'housewife' trying to prepare dinner for her husband, and the busy male executive going to work. But putting this aside everything else hits the nail on the head shining a spotlight on the misery so many of us put ourselves through as we desperately try to live normal lives whilst crippled with anxiety and depression.
Through lessons, journals, notes and practical help she tells us to let panic do its worst, tells how to 'float' through our fear and not to fight it, because the more we fight it, the sicker we become, and the more stress becomes our boss, and runs our lives. And tells us to let time pass, let nature heal. This sounds simplistic, she makes no apology, this is no easy ride. But she is there with us, understanding, helping. Always there.
And for those who have no family who understand or friends to help she speaks of us and how lonely anxiety can be, she knows, and gives words of encouragement, it can be done alone and beaten alone she says. She is right.
A wonderful lady, a lifesaving book. The day the world lost Dr Weekes it lost a heroine.
Her wonderful comforting and very practical advice has given me my life back in a way that pills never... Read more
