Dare: Panic & Anxiety Relief

I decided to download a bunch of self help anxiety apps when I had my first real panic attack and then another panic attack each day afterwards. After not eating and throwing up and being miserable every night and scared during the day, this app was the best at helping me with being alone with my thoughts. I’m still working out of this anxious state and this app has been so helpful at diffusing my anxiety spiral thoughts. I recommend it to anyone who is looking for an instant help to manage this constant feeling of dread that you might have another panic attack. The SOS feature is so nice but the actual lessons on working to deal with your anxiety is even more helpful (which is why I would recommend buying the addition stuff-it’s only monthly and you cancel at any time which is nice.)I think the reason I had a panic attack was because I was living with my anxiety unchecked for so long! So far it’s been nice working through these lessons and using this app! Hopefully it works for you the way it’s been a relief for me. ✨

The app itself is wonderful and life changing. My personal thing is that I forget to use it when I’m driving and start to panic. It’s great when I use it before going out. I use it when I wake up in ptsd nightmares. Barry has a soothing voice. The membership is especially good when the monthly challenge is something I want to work on. I only dock a star because it’s connected to Facebook and I can’t access my stuff if I deactivate my account, as I prefer to do from time to time to reduce anxiety. There’s a support group community the app connects to, but when I mentioned I was having anxiety about Facebook, two of the admins were condescending and brushed me off. You don’t invalidate someone in an anxiety support group for having anxiety. I was already near panic and that triggered a strong response that is now associated with that group. Also, I had won a DARE bracelet in the app group 3 months ago and I keep being told it was sent then later that is wasn’t. It really isn’t a big deal, but it does add some unnecessary anxiety. I have canceled my membership for now to distance myself. I’m focusing on the book and will still listen to the ‘reassurance my track on the app before I drive. The personalities really shouldn’t take away from what a wonderful app this is. Truly, it’s done more for my agoraphobia in a year than years and thousands of dollars trying other methods.

Ok I was very skeptical about this app and I also hate writing reviews, but I decided to give it a go. I did not think my anxiety can be treated with anything but meds. I was on Zoloft for 5 years. A year ago I decided to ditch the meds and give CBDs a try. The point is , Zoloft and CBDs are just crutches to treat the symptoms and not the root cause. This app is really drilling into the root cause and teach you how you how to deal with your anxiety by yourself without any crutches. Almost within days I was able to manage my panic attacks and not let it escalate to full blown panic. This app really teaches you how to deal with those anxious feelings that manifest. Please get this app if you are struggling, you will not be disappointed.

I have been struggling with anxiety and panic attacks for months. My doctor started me on a low dose medication but medications take time. To wait for the medication to work, it was driving me crazy. My anxiety and panic attacks were worse and more frequent. Then I found this app. It’s hard enough to explain to anyone what I’ve been going through. Then there’s this app. It knows exactly what I’m going through. Barry’s voice is calming and reassuring, it helped give me a sigh of relief. This is something I hadn’t been able to do for months. This app challenges me to fight and become my own warrior. His guided lessons help me through my thoughts. I cannot think Barry and his team enough for this!

If you want to build an effective arsenal, as opposed to medicating, or as opposed to managing or avoiding. If you want relief or respite over the persistent dread, every minute, every hour, every day... give this app a chance. The DARE Workbook is another part of that arsenal for me. Imagine that, nothing to be medicated away. Nothing to fear. Barry will help you understand your own power of influence. Barry and his team know what they are doing. These folks will teach you how to self-correct by observing what's actually going on. Breath again, and breath deeply, push the fear out. Make room for the breath. Get familiar with what is actually going on for yourself.
