winning my battle with panic attacks?

[Rach29]

Just thought id share with you all coz im quite pleased with myself actually, not having a good day a bad one unfortunatly and ive been feeling very anxious on and off well today ive had two big panic attacks which i havent had for a few weeks but as my heart was pounding nd my breathing was going all over the place i remembered some tips from this site so i thought no stop panicking think positive breath slowly and it will soon be over it went for the first time before it got out of control i actually controlled my panic attack instead of them controlling me :D

Great news Rach....you done all the right things :) Have you tried CBT, I found it really helpful for the PA's, now if I have one it still frightens me but I remember all the things they taught me and the actual 'panic' part is so much easier to deal with and subsides quite quickly. Anyway, seems like you are doing a really good job just from reading the posts on here so keep up the good work!!
