Are we live? Yes, we are live. Okay everybody. Hey guys, Drew here, that anxiety guide.com. It's been a super long time since he did one of these videos.

We're going to have something special today. I'm not alone. I'm with my good friend Holly Kutsi, is that how you say it

Holly? It's actually Kutsi, but you can say Kutsi as well. It's in South African

certainly. Yeah, Holly's coming to us all the way via Skype from Mayorca.

And I'll give you a little background on this.

Holly and I met because we were both admins and the panic disorder group on Facebook.

And Holly's awesome. I'm telling you guys this right now.

Listen to every word she says because she is like a textbook living walking

example of how you do this.

If you follow me at all and you hear all the things that I talk about,

Holly is actually a textbook example of how you do this. So Holly, tell us a little bit about how,

we know how we're friends now, but tell us a little bit about, I guess, your story.

Okay, thanks for that. Yeah, I'm, okay, so I first suffered from panic attacks, panic disorder, when I was 11. I'm 33 and a half and I was 11 and I had really bad panic attacks like like top scale stuff you know I was off school for like nine months. It felt like a continuous panic

attack that I was in and I just had the most horrendous time and I thought I just didn't know

what was going on or anything, know and yeah I don't know how much detail to go into but I basically got myself a little bit better and I've always like suffered on an off a little bit and then I don't I don't really know how to sort of like say but like through my 20s I still sort of like lived quite

Adventurously I decided to not let anxiety sort of like lived quite adventurously I decided to not let anxiety sort of

get in my way even though I suffered it very badly still and so I was kind of

of like quite a high-functioning sort of panic disorder sort of person.

And because I was like missing one key piece of information which I sort of think I now have.

And yeah, and so I can now I'm 33 and in the last couple of years for sure I feel like I've like found that missing peace and that's not to say I still suffer panic attacks occasionally I still not panic attacks but like anxiety and I'm

currently five months pregnant and at the beginning of this pregnancy which is my first

one and it's very exciting but at the beginning of this I was, I had a really hard time for about two weeks.
