About Me

My name is Samantha. I'm forty three years old. I am a wife to an amazing man called Antony, and we have been married for eighteen years. We have four children together who keep us busy.

I'm a stay at home mum who is an author of romantic books. My hobbies include writing, reading, photography, and making book covers.

I have suffered from anxiety for over sixteen years now. I have tried anti-depressants, CBT, hypnotherapy, and now I’m talking with a therapist.

I’m not a tablet person, I don’t deal with side effects well, and they make my anxiety worse. CBT worked for a while, but they can only talk to you so many times before the calls end. Hypnotherapy didn’t work either, I had one bad experience with one, and decided that wasn’t for me. I’m now looking to therapy to help me break this cycle.

One thing I have learned already is that there is no quick fix for anxiety, it will take time to break the habit of sixteen years. I have to be determined to beat it, at times it is hard, but I don’t want to live like this anymore, I want my life back.

I started this blog to help me deal with what I go through each day, and to hopefully reach out to others, to let them know they are not alone.
