My first encounter with anxiety was brutal. I was the eldest of three siblings with a mission to support my family. The pressure started when I was aiming for an engineering college, thinking that non-stop studying was the key. Instead, it triggered a pain that wouldn't quit, a pain I mistook for simple stress or bad eating.

It got so bad that one day, what I thought was a heart attack turned out to be a severe panic attack. I was always careful—ate right, stayed fit, but anxiety was still there, tearing me down. I was fighting an invisible enemy that I didn't fully understand.

I had to dig deep. I refused to let my life be ruled by anxiety. Using my background in engineering, I began to piece together a new way to fight back. I learned everything about anxiety, connected with experts, and trained in techniques that finally made a difference.

Now, I've turned that fight into my life's work. Through HappyMind, I help others beat anxiety, just like I did. No more quick fixes, just real solutions that last. Overcoming anxiety is tough, but with the right help, it's possible, and I'm living proof.
