I shared this morning that over 7 million people suffer from anxiety. I was one of them.

Was. I'm proud of myself for saying that.

When I was going through my toughest years with anxiety, I couldn't even leave the house. I was on 5 different medications, and was a true mess. I was seeing doctor after doctor with no answers, and no hope for a full recovery. I was in the dark and I felt totally alone.

After some investigating on my own, I realized I needed to make changes. So, I started with my diet. I took out all caffeine, and junk food. Then, I started walking. I couldn't believe how much better I felt. The walking became full blown workouts, and my diet became clean. Nothing processed, all natural foods that came straight for the Earth.

I learned my triggers, and I also taught myself how to relax if I feel anxiety coming on. I'm happy to say, I've been pill free for 5 years! I'm proud of myself for overcoming something that is so private and painful. If you suffer from anxiety, there's hope for you too.

There's many other ways to relieve anxiety, read them here.
