About Me

My name is Joe Murphy. I’ve always had anxiety in some form or another.

When I was younger, my anxiety manifested itself as social anxiety. I had a really hard time calling friends on the phone for fear of their parents picking up. I worried more than the average kid about class presentations, talent shows, and any other situation where people would be looking at me.

In early adulthood, I coped with anxiety by pretending I didn’t care what anyone thought. I became a sort of “class clown” in college. It worked for the most part, but anxiety was always there just under the surface.

Later on in life, anxiety became life altering. I developed generalized anxiety disorder and would essentially spend every waking moment of my life in pure panic. I know that just reading this may make some of you with anxiety uncomfortable, so my apologies. I became agoraphobic, spending most of my time in my bedroom. I was mentally absent from my wife and kids.

I went on a quest to find the “cure” for anxiety (spoiler, there’s no single cure for everyone). I tried free and paid methods, products, services, treatments, and medication. After a 2 year long battle with the worst mental health I’ve ever experienced, I went into remission and that’s where I’ve been since.

One day, I thought to myself, “why don’t I share everything that worked and didn’t work for me to help me achieve peace and calm in my life. Maybe some people aren’t even aware that these products or methods exist.” So that’s why I created this site. I want to share my open and honest reviews of all of the things I’ve tried in the past, and all of the things I’ll continue to try as I work through my anxiety.

Welcome, and I hope you too can achieve peace and calm in your life, too!
