Whatever I had felt so utterly devastating that I felt sure that the doctors must have missed something, surely, I had something much worse?
Was I actually losing my mind?
It felt so utterly overwhelming that to this day, I can still remember that time like it was yesterday, I am not sure how anyone really forgets feeling like that.
So, now I had a label and I was face to face with my nemesis, my question became how the heck do I get rid of this thing and how can I get my life back?
I felt alone, I felt different, and I felt very scared
How could I make sense of what was happening to me, and how could I get myself back from this?
Fast forward to the present day.
I did make sense of it; I did get myself back from it (dare I say a much better version of me too)
And now?
My wish is to support you to make sense of what is happening to you.
Because when we know about something, it does reduce the fear you feel
And once the sense of fear you have reduces, you can begin to use your energy much more productively, in working out how you can effectively work with the predicament you have found yourself in and, get the heck out of it, and get your life back!
The Course
This anxiety awareness course is the first course in my teachings. The content aims to help you to understand just what anxiety is and what it may mean.
Making more sense of something, will naturally enable you to reduce the fear you have in this feeling, while you formulate a plan to tackle it head on and to get back your quality of life.
This is a good course to take prior to engagement in the anxiety strategies course and then the Fear Monster memberships. The anxiety strategies course will provide tools for you to gain confidence in managing and reducing the intensity of your anxious feelings, and the memberships will then guide you through the whole process of overcoming anxiety and what is involved with working with your Fear Monster now you are aware of him.
Course Information
This course going explain to you:
- What anxiety is
- Anxious labels- what do they mean?
- How it shows up and what it means
- What to avoid

In my experience, it is important to source the information that you look for, from knowledgeable and positive sources as the aim is to reduce your fear with the truth, not to source incorrect information that will increase your fear!
This course is available to buy as a one-off purchase and is pre recorded so that you are able to have lifetime access and can work through the course content, in your own surroundings at a pace that works for you.
None of my courses are professionally recorded, this is purposeful as I want them to be relatable, to reflect the realness of who I am, and the story I wish to tell.
The course is priced at £75
Welcome! remember you can work with these feelings, no matter how bad you believe yourself to be.
I know that it is entirely possible for anyone to regain their quality of life from anxious feelings and everyone is capable of doing this for themselves!
A bit about your host
My name is Michelle, you may know me as the creator and the voice behind the website it’s just a feeling.
It’s just a feeling was placed online during the year 2000 and I have always funded it myself. It was a website that I had created during my own journey with anxious feelings as it was important to me to support others through theirs.
Within the website, I was able to document my own journey of overcoming panic attacks, constant anxiety and the reversal of housebound agoraphobia.
Back in those days, there was no social media and there was nothing to help me to understand either what was happening to me, or what I was doing in my own responses to my fears that was making me feel worse and keeping me stuck.
In some way, I guess I could be seen as one of the very first/original self-help sites for anxiety.
Since those early years, the site has remained on line and I am sorry to say over the years my input dwindled a little. This was not because I had lost interest, but honestly, in part because of time commitments as I had been studying ever since, and in part my own self-doubt had gotten in the way of me continuing to share my knowledge and experiences of what has been a very honest personal journey. It was a real shame, but admittedly I felt that I lost my creativity.
However, I am happy to say that last year (2023) something else happened to me, quite an unbelievable and unexpected turn of events that gave me a “unique” opportunity to revisit my past. This was not something I would have ever wanted to do, but I had no choice.
What transpired during this time enabled me to see that the Fear Monster journey could have yet another dimension, one in which I was able to show others how to conclude his journey. It has given me such passion back that it is almost exploding out of me. My passion has returned, I am prepared to step outside of my introversions and to explain anxiety to you, in a way in which you will be able to see the whole process of working with these feelings.
It didn’t feel like it at the time, but now I feel very fortunate for this turn of events, it has made even more sense to me, and I am sure it will to you too!
I have things that are very important to say, things that I feel will help a lot of people and I am now ready, there has been a gap in my input, but now I feel that gap was necessary.
It is the right time for me to re-gather the reins and complete what started as a very passionate mission for me to support others in this journey all those years ago!
