'Yes I'm fine, just tired', is a first person account of how Tom went from being a teenager, disabled by Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, panic attacks and anxiety, to an adult content with who he is.Everyone experiences anxiety at some point in their lives. However, more people are coming to view anxiety not as a disorder (necessarily) but as an emotion. It rises and falls based on the level of perceived danger. It acts as a protective mechanism in this way.Tom explores these concepts from an evolutionary, psychological, biological and social standpoint using his experiences as a way to draw upon similarities with others. Tom hopes his experiences will shed some light as to why anxiety has become increasingly more prevalent within the western world. Tom's narrative coincides with the methods and teachings of Charles Linden in 'The Linden Method' as well as Barry McDonagh's 'Dare Response'. With the ever-increasing amount of distraction in our world, it is imperative we spend more time with ourselves to get to know ourselves. Tom hopes his experiences will help define what anxiety is, what it can do, why we have it as well as how it manifests itself so that it does not prevent others from living their lives as it once did for him.***'By the time we reached the party, I was yet again in a state of panic, engrossed in the belief that I was trapped inside my own head; no control whatsoever. When we got out of the taxi, I looked at Luke with a horrified expression. He immediately understood what was happening...' Hey there mate! I'm Tom and this is how I befriended the anxious bloke in my head.Everyone experiences anxiety from time to time. It is an emotion. Understanding this minor detail relieved many of my intrusive thoughts and symptoms. It is here you will delve into my diary entries and experiences, culminating in the toughest yet most significant eight hours of my life.

But, You Never Left explores the concept of "identity" why it's malleable, why we lose it, what happens when we do and how to build a new one. Tom leans on anecdotes, narrative therapy, mythology, psychological research and spiritual texts as well as evolutionary frameworks to explain what it means to be human, in so far as we can conceptualise ourselves.\nBut, You Never Left aims to solve perhaps the most fundamental question itching beneath the surface of every existentialist's skin: "What is the meaning of life?" Across multiple levels of analysis, Tom believes the answer to that question is that there is no answer! Meaning is constructed-not found-by what an individual decides to give the most meaning to-what he or she chooses to value above all else. Ultimately, conscious action will help individuals find their purpose because, put simply, they'll have created it for themselves.\nTom shares his personal experiences: his pains, anxieties and journey to explore the personal and collective psyche. He hopes to convey the importance of clarity and goal-directed behaviour-life jackets that help keep individuals afloat whilst swimming within the sea of life's infinite potential for action. After all, the best way to find a path is to create one for yourself.
