Lucy Smith - how my daily routine makes me unstoppable despite having chronic anxiety

Lucy suffered her first panic attack when she was at a bowls club surrounded by friends and family.  There didn’t seem to be any obvious reason for it.

​Having grown up as a shy child she didn’t really consider the possibility of any mental health issues especially as there had been no history of it in her immediate family.

After a particularly nasty panic attack in a shopping centre Lucy thankfully reached out for help and called the doctor. She was referred to a specialist who helped her identify her fears and through patience and practice she was able to tackle them head on through some weekly routines.
 
Lucy now follows a strict daily morning routine which in her words makes her feel unstoppable.
 
Watch the full episode to hear Lucy’s journey how her family reacted, especially how it affected her relationship with her dad and how she eventually managed to bring her anxiety under control.
 
Lucy now uses her experiences to help other people going through similar.
