Welcome to It’s just a feeling

My name is Michelle, I am the founder of this web site.

I created It’s just a feeling many years ago to help other people to understand anxiety and panic disorders and to show them how to learn to manage these symptoms and regain a good quality of life.

Supporting others became really important to me after I suffered severe anxiety and panic myself. I struggled to find the answers I needed to help me to make sense of what was happening to me.  

I based the concept of this website on my own journey and what I had learnt throughout that journey. I felt it important that people were able to relate to another person rather than a text book description of symptoms. It was a brave step for me but, to this day I feel the right one.

When I look back, I remember feeling so lost and helpless that this may be how I might feel throughout my life, but I know that it does not have to be that way, it is entirely possible for anyone to work with this, change their perspective of fear and improve the way they are feeling.

That is certainly what happened in my case. I found that if I could understand more about me and change the way I was responding to my panic, then that would help me to reverse the intensity of my fear and the effect that these symptoms were having on me.

I want to help you to learn how to do that too.

Over the years my knowledge has grown and evolved as I continue to strive to understand more around the ways to managing and building resilience to these conditions. I became a therapist myself to give more confidence to others in my ability to support them through this journey. I will always have a special interest and passion to continue my work with anxiety and panic.

My wish has always been to share my work and knowledge with others in order for them too to find the strength and motivation to reverse this cycle for themselves.

I invite you to browse the website and I hope that by visiting, you begin to piece together what these symptoms mean for you and begin to walk away from fear.
