Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Saved My Life

Metaphorically speaking…

Since I can remember I have suffered from debilitating anxiety and panic attacks.  It has affected me at every turn in my life.  When I was younger the main factor of my anxiety was school and to say I had school phobia would be an understatement.  Fortunately I come from a loving family who has helped me every step of the way.  It’s funny because I know deep down and even then I knew how silly it was to feel the way I felt and be scared to go to school, however if you have ever experienced anxiety or panic attacks you truly understand how powerful the mind can be.
