One of the lowest points in my life so far was during the years 2003/2004. I had just left college (too anxious to attend university) and applied for many many web design jobs in the local area. I thought it would be easy to get a job as I was newly qualified as a web designer and that I would get a job more or less right away.

I was knocked back by rejection after rejection, the little confidence that I had was destroyed. I felt totally helpless as I found it really hard to even make a call to or go into a job agency. Stuck in a total vicious cycle, I couldn’t get a job because the anxiety levels were so high and I couldn’t support myself because I couldn’t get a job.

I really saw NO WAY OUT. I thought that this was who I was and I could do absolutely nothing about it.
