{"product_id":"bons-year-on-bonnie-grzesh-pedota-9781412064392","title":"Bon's Year On: My Spiritual Journey Through Panic and Anxiety","description":"The only time I've ever thought I was really going to die was during my first panic attack. I was on vacation in Paris and suddenly felt like I couldn't breathe. As I hyperventilated, my arms, legs and torso went tingly. I was rushed to the emergency room, shaken, but alive. \u003cp\u003e Panic disorder left me debilitated for two months after my first attack. I struggled with shortness of breath, fatigue, and heart palpitations. I was forced to defer going to teachers' college for a year because I didn't feel physically able to go. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e For a while, I focused on all the things panic disorder was taking away from me. Then I got wise. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e I realized that my illness was call to become a better person. I took panic disorder as an opportunity to grow. The \"year off\" from school became my \"year on.\" I majored in me. I journaled, went for therapy, and asked myself important questions. What do I enjoy? Who am I? Where do I want to be? How can I be an active creator of my life, rather than just falling into it? \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Today, panic disorder has taken a back seat. A loving and supportive partner, journal writing and cognitive behavioural therapy were the major players in my recovery. Complementary medicine also played a supporting role. But mostly it was me. I decided I deserved to really live, and that I was being called to do so. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e They say that we are only dealt a hand that we can play. If you are suffering with anxiety or panic, be brave and ask yourself some important questions: Am I really happy? What do I love? What have I always wanted to do? Where can I get help? How can I start healing today?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Bonnie Grzesh Pedota\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1412064392\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781412064392\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Trafford Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/14\/2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 162\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.47lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.37d\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bonnie Grzesh Pedota","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48444758327551,"sku":"9781412064392","price":15.65,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_75a24589-f6bb-4c5f-b069-f2ea97b9d73d.jpg?v=1777214358","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/bons-year-on-bonnie-grzesh-pedota-9781412064392","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
