Learning to fight for what I need
Really proud of this article that I wrote for the fantastic Happiful magazine. “Learning to fight for what I need.” is my story, from intensive care, panic attacks and serious anxiety about living with the threat of anaphylaxis and potentially losing my life, to finding the mental health help and therapy that I needed.

Please note Anaphylaxis book name changeSince writing this article, my book is now called ‘Anaphylaxis: The Essential Guide: An Action Plan For Living With Life-Threatening Allergies.’ – ‘The Reluctant Allergy Expert’ is no more! It’s exactly the same book inside, just with a new cover and name.
The book was therapy to write, it took me right back to those terrifying moments and helped me make sense of those feelings and find a way forwards. If you have intense feelings of anxiety, panic, fear, rage, anger, hopelessness and don’t know what do to, you are not alone. These feelings are completely normal, absolutely essential to keep us safe, because ultimately we are at risk, but we can learn to live with these feeling and use them to our advantage.
