About Me

Anxiety no more Paul David

Me running a half marathon in 2015

Hi, My name is Paul, and I am the sole creator of all the information on this website and the author of the books ‘At Last a life’ and ‘At last a life and beyond’. I have been successfully helping people overcome anxiety since 2002.

I suffered for ten long years before I moved away from traditional methods of medication, techniques and ways of managing my anxiety. Not only did I get nowhere with these approaches, but they also never resonated with me as the way out. I didn’t want to keep treating symptoms for the rest of my life; I wanted to address the root of the problem and be completely free.

It was at this time that I set off on my journey to find real answers and so spent the next few years studying the whole subject and began to educate myself on all aspects of the condition. I came to my own conclusions on not only why I had developed anxiety, but also what was keeping me in the cycle. It was through this knowledge and understanding that I was then able to lead myself back to being completely anxiety-free.

After my recovery, I was asked to volunteer to help other sufferers at my local hospital by the very lady I first went to see with my own struggles. We had a chance meeting a couple of years after my last session with her, and she couldn’t believe the change in me. As I wanted to give something back, I was more than happy to help and agreed to talk to and advise other sufferers.

Fortunately, I was able to make a real difference there and help many others move on from their struggles with anxiety. It was these very people who encouraged me to write my original book ‘At last a life’ and set up this website and blog, telling me I had something different to say and that I needed to get the message out there to a bigger audience.

I had no idea at the time how things would explode. The site just grew daily and the book went from something I wrote in my bedroom, to becoming one of the best-selling books on the subject and is now listed in Healthline’s top 13 books on anxiety It is now available on Amazon, on prescription from doctors at selected surgeries, in many bookshops and has recently been published in Japan, selling thousands of copies a month around the world. The success of the first book also led me to write the hugely successful follow-up At last a life and beyond’.

I have also helped many people in the public eye, including World-renowned music producer Nicky Romero who talks here about how much my book helped him. Many people also tell me that their doctor or therapist pointed them towards my book. This is very humbling as the book has always been self-published, never had any advertising and has relied purely on word of mouth for its success.

Where am I now?

I am now fully recovered and a much stronger person for it.  Trivial things do not bother me anymore and it has made me realise what is truly important. Life is something to enjoy and experience and not something to stress and worry about. I am also more confident than I was before. When you have been through what I have, you become a much stronger person.

I also left my mundane job so that I could dedicate all my time to helping other sufferers around the world. Being able to help others gives me a great deal of satisfaction.

The first thought that came into my head when I had recovered was that I could go on to help others. I knew how long it took me to find the answers that I so craved. Could I just carry on with my life and ignore other people’s suffering? The answer was a definite no. I have helped and advised more people than I can remember and it has been extremely rewarding.

Although the site has grown far bigger than I ever thought possible, the people who know me know that I do as much as I can to help others. I often post helpful advice on my twitter, Instagram and Facebook accounts, as well as my Anxiety blog (which was recently voted in the top 50 blogs to follow for 2018) as often as I can and raise money and awareness for trusted, non-profit making anxiety sites.

Hopes for the future.

Being free

This website aims to step in and teach people more about anxiety and the way to recover before they spend years going around in circles unable to find answers to their condition. There is nobody out there who can’t overcome anxiety with the right help and advice, the only difference between someone who recovers and who doesn’t is their understanding and approach.

The first thing people tell me after reading through this site and the book is that they fear their symptoms far less, and that they don’t seem as important. This is because for once they have been given an explanation for how they feel and so their symptoms do not scare them as much.

I hope one day, this information will be available for people when they first seek help, rather than having them feel like they are being ignored or pushed from one person to another. I have lost count of the number of emails I have received from people asking why this information is not available when they first seek help? “Why are we just given pills and told to go on our way?” they ask.

I don’t have the answer to this question, although in defence of the medical world, anxiety really is a specialised subject and they are just not equipped to help in most cases, although with the rise of the internet, I do feel like things are changing.
