What does it feel like to get better?

[W.I.F.T.S.]

At the beginning of my illness I had a phase where I had urges to glass people with pint pots and throw bugs at the tv. I believe that is to do with an area of the brain called the amygdala, which is located at the top of the spine. Without knowing this information, I always used to put my hand on the back of my head when i got these urges to try and calm and reassure myself. After a while I suddenly noticed that I'd stopped doing it and hadn't done it for a while.

I imagine that that is what getting better feels like. You get on with things and then one day you suddenly realise that you haven't had panic attacks for a while. I guess you just relax and distract yourself with life and it just happens.

Has anyone got better who knows the answer?
