I suffered anxiety a lot in the past two years as I worked as a disability support worker. I loved the men I took care of, but I began to worry about their health and their wellbeing and I got quite stressed.

There was a group camp which happened at Mount Tambourine in Queensland, Australia. It is beautiful there and very peaceful, it is renowned for its spirituality. The night that the first workshop was over, I went to my room to sleep. My room mate was already sleeping. I couldn't sleep as my anxiety was kicking in, as it usually did at night and the women next door were really noisy. At about 1'30am still unable to go to sleep I started crying, frustrated with myself and exhausted at staying awake. I closed my eyes and tried to calm down.

A few minutes after I did this, I felt a rushing, like a huge wind tunnel was happening around me, or a train was going past. I tried to pull myself out of the noise but then decided to let go, as I had heard of these things as night panic attacks. When I let go, I immediately saw blue sky and clouds, and I was rushing upwards really fast towards the sky through these clouds, there were figures around me in cream and white but I could not see them properly. A man with a beautiful deep voice reminiscent of the band creed was singing. His voice was clear and loud and was singing a song I had never heard before. Although I don't remember the song, it was about freedom and letting go and I was crying at the sheer beauty of it. In those few moments before this ended briefly I felt clear minded and happy and free. It was the best feeling I have ever felt and I will never forget it.

I like to think it was my guardian angel letting me know that I was fine and would always be looked after.
