As a sufferer of severe social anxiety for more than three years, Anxiety: Panicking about Panic, has left me feeling as though I can conquer this issue that has engulfed almost every aspect of my life. The author goes into great depth providing information on what anxiety is, and its very many symptoms as well as mentioning the number of different anxiety disorders that are out there. I have found Joshua Fletcher’s Anxiety Scoring Method to be extremely helpful in identifying and managing my anxiety levels. Anxiety is a very difficult thing to comprehend until you have experienced it first-hand and the author’s knowledge based on his own experiences is what makes this book so relatable. The thing I will most take from this book is that I now have the tools to no longer let fear dictate my life.

Found the book quite repetitive. I felt like he was talking and explaining anxiety to people who have never had it or experiencing it for the first time. It was all stuff i've heard before.

This book has been of great help to me.
Firstly, it explains about anxiety and panic to the point. Its easier to deal with something if you have a clear idea about what it is. So, Joshua Fletcher has got that covered. Then it comes to dealing with anxiety and panic. The author points out exactly what we need to do. He simplifies all the points and makes them easier to remember. That's absolutely necessary in case of emergency panic attacks in which case we can't actually remember paragraphs from a book. Overall, It's a good book and I would suggest anyone to get it who is suffering from anxiety

Super repetitive, and the advice? Just pretend your anxiety doesn't exist and it'll go away. Extremely problematic and unrealistic.

The book gives a clear explanation of all the possible symptoms linked to anxiety. It also gives some good reminders to keep in mind when feeling anxious. However, some parts could come across as degrading (for example things like 'it's just anxiety'), which might hit a wrong spot if you are currently in a state of very high anxiety. Would recommend for people unfamiliar with anxiety or experiencing a pretty 'general' state of anxiety! (Also, the punctuation errors were really annoying.)

A personal perspective on anxiety
The author opens up about his struggle with anxiety. He touches on:
1. Understanding more about anxiety.
2. Learning how to challenge your unhelpful thoughts and see things in a more realistic light.
3. Improving your problem solving skills.
4. Learning how to reduce the amount of time you spend worrying.
5. Learning how you can feel more relaxed (physically and mentally).
6. Learning how to stop avoiding the things that make you anxious.
Noe of these topics are covered in detail. The book is only 400 pages long. Nevertheless, its a useful overview of fellow sufferers.

This book would be amazing for someone who just got diagnosed with anxiety and knows next to nothing about it or coping mechanisms. Unfortunately, I’ve had anxiety pretty much since the day I was born so I already knew about 75% of the information in the book. I did get some good quotes out of it, so that’s why I added a star.
Good for anxiety beginners, not for me.

Clearly written, and with a strong argument and excellent strategies, this is a fine short book. While located in the self help genre, there is attention to the context within which stress, worry and anxiety emerge.
The tone, pace and structure of the argument is excellent.

This isn’t the book I wanted to be reading in 2023 but sometimes life steers us in weird directions! I actually enjoyed this. If you’re suffering from anxiety or perhaps you have a partner or friend or family member who is, I recommend this. On several occasions the author says that anxiety is the result of adrenaline and a sensitive nervous system. He explains anxiety and its symptoms in a way that is easy for the reader to digest. Knowledge is power.

I get a very "get over it" vibe from this book. Its just some guys opinion, really. Sure, you could back some of it up, but he doesnt, and thats my probelm. I wouldnt recomend this as a go to book for anyone that needs help unless they thrive off the "get over it and move on" pep talks and diagrams constructed in a 2007 word document.
He chalks everything up to adrenaline and not once does he mention using a therapist. He actually deters you from finding a reason for your anxiety.

A powerful tool for anyone who wants to demystify anxiety and get back on their feet. This pestering condition is alarmingly common and can manifest itself through multiple symptoms, some being more persistent than others. But, simply knowing the way it operates in the human mind brings us one step closer to personal freedom.

lowkey not as good as the second one but the last part was amazing! good advice but the middle “physical symptoms” part was like …ok anyways i love this guy he speaks words of wisdom

While this book and it's advice felt a bit redundant at times, it has practical tips I can work on. This felt like a book I should've read in high school instead of in my 30's - it would've saved me a lot of needless worrying.

Concise, straight to the point. It’s a very useful read. When you finally understand what is happening to you, something the doctors don’t bother discussing. I have just finished it so I can’t say anything about the impact of this book on my life but it definitely gives hope! After all, it’s just anxiety ;)

I enjoyed this book- it was a good way to unwind after work and I liked trying out different strategies to cope with anxiety 👏👏

Without a doubt, one of the best books I've ever read about self-help.
I've always been sensitive and labelled a 'worrier' by those close to me, which is probably why anxiety has such a significant effect on me. I've had anxiety for about four years now and it seems to come and go, depending on my circumstances at the time (whether I'm stressed, worried or unwell). Recently, I had yet another panic attack and despite being quite infrequent compared to what other people deal with, it really gave me a shock; I was terrified.
Appointments with my GP only resulted in a referral to a CBT practitioner which I've heard mixed reviews about so I decided to take it upon myself to read up on anxiety and discover for myself what it is that gives me so much trouble. It is at this point I discovered Joshua Fletcher's book and my whole world changed. It transformed my mindset, simply because I suddenly had an understanding of what was happening to me whenever I was having a panic attack, or just feeling anxious.
If you're someone who is constantly anxious and worried about things then overtime your body acclimatises to this condition of living and adjusts accordingly, resulting in a chemical imbalance. Your body attempts to restore balance by occasionally sending out large doses of chemicals from the brain, which then coarse through the body - a reason for why you might feel strange sensations or a plethora of physical symptoms during your anxious episode/panic attack. The primary two chemicals released are Adrenaline and Cortisol, both are harmless but are used in a 'Fight or Flight' situation, or when your body perceives you to be in danger.
During a panic attack, Fletcher highlights that it's important to remember that all these feelings are simply brought on by the huge amount of Adrenaline charging through your veins and that once the gland has exhausted itself or just decides to stop, the panic will be over and you will return to normality. Naturally, you will be slightly shaken, perhaps even tired and weak, and this is due to the effect the chemical has had on your nervous system, which explains the feeling of being 'on edge' and tense.
Read for yourself and once you've attained an understanding, you'll feel a whole lot better.

I can’t stress enough how important it is to share your experience with recovering from anxiety, people like me really need you to. For that reason I’m thankful for this book, I’ll have to give it time to see if the advice is effective or not for me, but I believe there is an approach for everyone and if it’s not this one I’ll find it someday.
Having said that, I have some initial criticism with this (which if it ends up helping me , who the hell cares ?)
Firstly , the narrative of ‘by the end of this book you WILL feel better’ is a risky statement. On one hand yes you may be more likely to get better if you truly believe you’ve found your answer but as someone who has felt as though I’m incurable, the possible letdown that it not working would cause Is potentially dangerous.
Secondly, it’s very repetitive. In some ways I think this can be potentially good, it may be more accessible. But if you’re someone who has read a lot of books on this topic and spent many years getting help for the condition, you may find it borderline patronising like I did. The editing is not very good, nor is some of the actual writing. But like I said before , if this book helps (me or you) then that doesn’t matter a jot. All that matters is getting better
Good luck ❤️ you’re not the only one

Incredible book
If you are suffering panic attacks now, read the last chapter first., then read the whole book. I was normal until one day I was driving to work and had a major panic attack. I went the whole week wondering if I had lost my mind, if something was medically wrong with me or if I w as going to die. I stayed home as much as possible , hid in my garage and paced myself to exhaustion. I never stopped working which helped me to face and seek a counselor. But even then they didn't do much except got me out and are me realize that is was just anxiety. Actually depression of losing my wife, I had taken care of her for years while she suffered from Severe lupus attacks. Now I was alone and few people to support me. After reading this book it made me fully understand what was going on and how to overcome it. Ok, not over,one. But deal with it. I wish all of you luck and hope you can change your thought process and deal with it too. It is going to take me sometime before I feel normal, but at least I am on track.

A quick read but also a relieving one. This book is really catered to you, the reader, the sufferer from anxiety. Sometimes I do feel crazy and that other people (or worse, your psychiatrist) Don't Get It, but right from the list of psychological symptoms, I let out a sigh of intense relief because, yeah, that's me right there. I felt like it was pretty comprehensive when explaining each symptom, and it ends on a positive note by giving reassurances and solutions that reframe how we tend to think about anxiety. It's got some biology to explain the science of it, but thankfully it isn't too heavy or rigorous--which goes a long way in being concise and readable.
You should read this book if you're feeling particularly at the end of your rope and that nobody else Gets It. We definitely worry a lot, and the sheer amount of what we feel can be hard to convey and also see from other people. This book will make you feel less alone, and give you hope that you can get past this, that this can be solved.

I would 100% recommend this book
This book has given me ideas about how to tackle not only my anxiety but depression too. My story is long and boring. I'm turning 26 in two weeks. I have fibromyalgia, CFS, AF and other problems. I am registered disability. I however, work full time, look after my mum, nan and grandad and life can be difficult. I try and power on as much as I can. Cut things down and try not to over do myself. This book has provided me with more knowledge than my GP and CBT counselling in regards of how to handle situations. I have already recommended this book to 3 people and the website he has set up to help others. I wish Josh all the luck in the world with his masters in counselling. He would certainty make a fantastic one! Watch out, I am come for some 121 counselling sessions!!

I feel a bit bad giving this book 3 stars. Because the content all makes sense, it even uses phraseology around needing to stop investigating your condition, which is effectively what reading this book is. It has lots of sensible stuff in it, needing to move to rational what ifs rather than irrational what ifs , very CBT, damn right but something I have often been incapable of. I’m reading around my mania, anxiety and depression in order to try and find a way of course correcting. I’m desperate to course correct my headspace, what my BiPolar seems to gift me. So in review this is alll good content but there’s nothing that stands out to make this an exceptional manual for anxiety ...... but maybe that says more about me than this book ???

I don’t usually write reviews but this book has some extremely problematic language in it. It basically states that you should just stop having anxiety to stop having the symptoms of anxiety. Dont be anxious and it’ll be a okay. As a long time sufferer from panic disorder, all of the “what” and “why” from the beginning was not news to me. Maybe this would be helpful for the newly diagnosed. Chapter 3 and the how to “solve” portion was troubling. You can’t “fix” anxiety or think it away. The self help portion at the end for what to do if you’re having a panic attack is helpful for those who are first learning how to cope, hence the second star. Other than that, it was repetitive and not all that beneficial.

Listened on audible
Did I learn anything?
Maybe to just label all my symptoms, aches and pains as.... Anxiety
Yet 20years of having panics, I've developed thyroid issues I believe came from all the adrenaline and I did get worst case scenario with an AVM in my head.
And yes made me even more anxious, but did also kick me up the butt and start living a bit more.
Book review....oh yeh.
Nice little book, good to see derelization in the list ( wasn't there 20 years ago) stop the habit, give it a number rating and just deal.

Found this book very demoralising, was recommended to read because of the good reviews. The only good thing about it I found was the information behind symptoms and how the body processes anxiety. Apart from that I found that he brushed over the subject, belittling the whole concept. Very very disappointed
September 2, 2022
Extremely helpful!
Deeply grateful for this book. I felt understood ( finally )
Therapy wasn’t useful for me in this regard, if anything it made things worst.
People often assume that agoraphobia means not being able to go out of your home. I’m pretty social and adventurous myself. I had no clue what agoraphobia was, or that it was a genetic issue passed on ( father, grandfather ) a family secret per say, so when I first experience my first panic attacks, I genuinely thought I was losing my mind or I was being weak, I overcompensated with over exercising. Really pushed myself, which only made the stress worst. I tend to over analyze things, so people saying “it’s in your head” made things worst, or/ and “you should meditate”, also not helpful to me.
What I need is not to overthink the fear of having an “adrenaline rush” I loved that he reminds us that it’s not a panic attack, because we aren’t being attacked, we are safe, even if our bodies go into fight or flight mode. This has been a secret battle of mine for years, and people who haven’t experience the intensity of an adrenaline rush rarely comprehend, what it really feels like. Our amygdala is making our nervous systems react and there’s very little we can do to control it, but we are completely safe. My anxiety disorder is a curse and a blessing at the same time. Comes and goes, I don’t know if I would ever be cured, but knowledge definitely gives me some power and self-compassion. Highly recommend for those struggling with anxiety.

I’m confused at the low rating for this book.
Surely if you have had debilitating high anxiety and panic for a long period of time you wouldn’t be searching for answers in this book?
I bought this book as trauma has gifted me with health anxiety and in recent weeks - panic attacks. I’m very new to anxiety and its states and between therapy sessions I longed to find someone who understood what I was feeling and could articulate it well. Joshua is that person. Reading this book felt as though I penned it myself (although it wouldn’t be half as comprehensive).
It’s done wonders to provide me with ‘a light at the end of the tunnel’ and to realistically understand that this anxiety isn’t going anywhere. But guess what anxiety, neither am I!
As for comments about repetition, I agree, but can’t help but feel that is deliberate? If you know anxiety you’ll know the slow brain processing, forgetfulness and even the straight up denial. Joshua’s, approach to relating the stages, factors and symptoms of anxiety together is to REMIND you that this anxiety will not harm you. If your brain is telling you anxiety will harm you over and over again, guess what Joshua is doing!
I’m only just starting my journey with anxiety, but this book has pulled me down from panic into a functional space where I can differentiate the what ifs into fact or fiction.
I recommend this book to anyone new to or struggling with repetitive anxiety and or panic who wants to feel seen and wants to actively make positive healthy changes. Best wishes on your journey, be kind to yourself.

Wow, this book is fantastic! For a couple of years, I have suffered anxiety and all the feelings it comes with I never really understood what was going on with my mind and body until now!! I have read this on my kindle and it's given me comfort and really helped me when the flutters of anxiety have appeared! Now I understand it's all about rewiring the brain and the thought process. Now I look at anxiety like a Big lion or a tiger that's right behind me in a cage and it's roaring and dying to get out to get me but I am not allowing it! I will not be beaten by this! Reading this book I have now seen off a fair few developing anxiety episodes they have not fully developed at all because I just tell myself it's just a bit of anxiety it's going to be alright it will pass soon and it's going to be okay again. I feel this book has given me some strength to face anxiety rather than fear it. I no longer think I am dying or having a heart attack as Joshua has described all the feelings that come with anxiety and panic! I am now about to download the 2nd of his books Thank you to the author: Joshua Fletcher for helping me understand this...

Une ressource précieuse pour tous ceux qui souffrent d’anxiété, ou qui souhaitent mieux comprendre ce phénomène pour être prêts le jour où ils en auront besoin.
Panicking about Panic de Joshua Fletcher, psychothérapeute britannique spécialisé dans les troubles anxieux. Ce livre m’a profondément aidé à un moment très difficile de ma vie, lorsque je faisais face à des crises de panique successives, sans vraiment comprendre ce qui m’arrivait. C’était une période marquée par le décès de mon père et d’autres événements bouleversants.
L’auteur y explique clairement ce qu’est une attaque de panique, l’anxiété, les symptômes, comment réagir, ce qu’il faut faire et éviter — et surtout pourquoi notre corps réagit ainsi. Il le fait avec une plume accessible, douce, et un style d’écriture à la fois simple et rassurant, sans jargon compliqué.
C’est un vrai outil thérapeutique, autant pour ceux qui cherchent du soulagement que pour ceux qui souhaitent se préparer ou soutenir un proche.
Et enfin, beaucoup de courage à tous ceux qui traversent ces tunnels d’anxiété. Je vous promets qu’une sortie lumineuse vous attend, il suffit d’avancer quelques pas de plus. 🌟

This is an amazing book. Having suffered from anxiety, I already knew most of the information this book contained due to my own research (calmclinic.com was crucial helping me overcome my fears).
However, had I found this book before, it would’ve saved me a lot of time, to be sure. I am so glad someone wrote this, because it has the potential to help so many people! The phrase “it is just anxiety” is the one to have in mind.
I like the book because it contains all the technical stuff about the hormones and how the body works, so anxiety sufferers can find a logical reasoning behind what they feel and forget about other potential diseases. These tips are crucial.
For all anxiety sufferers out there, this is a must-read!
