That's not the kind of anxiety I had. I had anxiety that was brought on by stress from sales, basically, from being in a difficult career that was all commission-based. I've never had a guaranteed paycheck my entire life. Okay? And I don't care about that. I like that lifestyle. But it did get stressful at times, especially when the kids came along. I got stressed, led to anxiety, which led to further deeper depression. Well, so one night I'm laying in bed. I was watching TV and an infomercial for the Midwest Center for Stress and Anxiety came on. So I'm like, screw it. I didn't have the $500. I think it was $500 to buy this program. And I'm like, I don't care. I'm willing to try anything. So I went ahead and slapped it on a credit card, bought the program, learned a lot. It worked for me. So to answer your question now directly, the story behind how I got that way and how I got out of it was mindset, period.
