A few weeks ago, we spoke to Paula McGuire for our podcast. Paula suffered from anxiety so acute that she found it difficult to answer the phone or get out of the house. She was on medications and not on a good path. She decided to take some action and now, is planning to become the first person to swim around Great Britain.
I am not sure what I'd do under those circumstances. Regardless, Paula's story is remarkable and makes whatever fears I have seem eminently manageable.
