Anxiety symptoms made PA feel like his own body had turned against him. DPDR that made the world feel unreal. Panic attacks, intrusive thoughts, digestive issues, rapid weight loss, constant fear, and the inability to be alone for even an hour. It became a full-body collapse that lasted for months.

Before anxiety hit, PA was disciplined and used to pushing through discomfort. With a military background and years of training behind him, he responded the same way when anxiety symptoms appeared. 

He trained harder, added supplements, tried medications, cold exposure, you name it… But none of it worked, and the harder he fought, the worse the anxiety became.

In this conversation with BBP mentor Shiv, PA talks about:

• how to stop feeding fear without trying to force yourself to be calm
• what actually shifts when you stop fighting symptoms
• how to build confidence that doesn’t fall apart under pressure

Recovery is possible, and PA is living proof of that. Tune in.
