My name is Jacob Markusson. This is my personal site which is my contribution to the Internet. My goal is simple. To write about, and talk about anxiety disorders. I will be focusing on all aspects of complete recovery, and I’ll be ready to respond to any, and all, comments left on this site.
My Background
I’ve had the gift of an anxiety disorder my entire adult life. I’ve seen many doctors, therapists, emergency rooms, and clinics in my 45 years on earth. In 1990 I started on a quest to learn as much as possible about anxiety disorders, depression, and panic attacks.
My studies started off on the Internet and in the local libraries (Calgary, Alberta). In the decade that followed my studies brought me to Boston, New York, LA, Mexico City, Honolulu, Tibet, Shanghai, Toronto, Vancouver, Montreal, and Bangladesh. I can tell you that we as a society know very little about anxiety disorders, and we know even less about the root cause of them. My quest is to contribute my findings to others so they might recover from their fear and anxiety sooner.
I am not a doctor. I am not a published author. I’ve never even submitted a manuscript to a publisher. I’m a patient. I’m a test case. I was a sufferer, until I chose NOT to be a sufferer, if that makes any sense to you. I have chosen the Internet as the medium to share what I have learned about anxiety, the cause of our anxieties, and practical methods sufferers can use to get their anxiety and/or disorders under control.
Thank you for coming by and taking part in our journey to understand the nature of human anxiety, and what we can do about it. Anxiety and depression is flourishing throughout our globe, and the generations living now must find a way to pass down our knowledge to future generations.
Fear is a natural and required emotion………but not very often.
