How I Learned My Anxiety Wasn't Only in My Head
Updated May 13, 2026
Growing up, I was always taught by my parents that the word "anxiety" was so loosely thrown around. I didn't notice at the time, but I was being conditioned to believe that most people in this generation were simply overreacting to the faintest sign of stress.
This is exactly the thinking that kept me from trying to fix my anxiety. I was constantly stressed, worried, and mentally exhausted. I didn't want to admit I had an anxiety problem because I couldn't narrow it down to a specific cause. From all I could tell, I was a spoiled brat who was just overreacting to life.

One day, I had come across this article that tied cat allergies to anxiety, which at first I thought was a stretch. But as I read on, I realized there were many others with stories just like mine. I did a little more research on how this could even happen, and I learned that cat allergens can trigger the same inflammatory response that affects mood and anxiety.
I found Pacagen's spray and supplement combo, which aimed to neutralize those cat allergens, and I gave it a try. After just a few days of spraying it on a bunch of surfaces my cat would be around, I really did notice a real difference. I finally felt free in my own apartment, which is what I really needed the most.
Pacagen solved a problem I didn't even know I had. If I hadn't realized the true cause of my anxiety, I would have continued to live like that forever. It was a solution that could let me keep my cat, but also let me breathe and live without all the anxiety.
