I Finally Beat Decades of Anxiety – Tricia Kirkish's Recovery Journey

Tricia Kirkish battled anxiety for decades. It all began during her college years and gradually worsened until she ended up experiencing "air hunger" (not being able to take a deep breath) for three days straight.

It was so scary that she went to the ER several times, but doctors kept assuring her that her oxygen levels were 100%.

Before that, Tricia tried to cope by avoiding anxiety triggers. She made excuses to avoid social situations and even stopped eating out with her own family. The COVID shutdown added to her stress to the point that even everyday activities like driving became too much. As anxiety took over, intrusive thoughts filled her mind and her life shrank.

When doctors couldn’t help her, she turned to the internet for relief. Discovering the Bye Bye Panic program was the turning point she desperately needed.

She found support from mentors and a compassionate community who helped her face her anxiety and stop avoiding it. Long story short, Tricia managed to make a remarkable recovery after just seven months.

In this week's interview, Shiv, a mentor from the Bye Bye Panic program, talks with Tricia about her journey of overcoming anxiety and the lessons she learned.
