Hiya all
Some of you may recognise me, mostly from chat, but basically I am diagnosed with Panic Disorder and GAD. It became a huge problem again and struggled to do daily activities. After going back to work for a week my anxiety went back to normal (normal to me) and haven't had a panic attack in a month or more. I was even contemplating taking anti-depressants again, but I didn't. I feel great that I have taken control without the use of anti-depressants, but through determination and will power.
Another benefit is that not only can I see things clearer but I have returned to my spiritual group. I went through a patch of agnosticism but am glad to finally return with a much clearer head. Not only that but I am able to plan my wedding and write my novels.
I believe I am much stronger now. I was assaulted at work yesterday and instead of collapsing on the floor crying with a panic attack I stood my ground and pressed charges. My fiancé was really impressed with how I took the situation because he expected me to come home all quiet and solomn, instead of me coming home and joking about the whole situation.
Don't get me wrong, I still have anxious thoughts and what not. Every time I get an anxious feeling or thought I just say 'It's just anxiety.' and after I say that a few times I feel fine.... strange ey?
I'll pop back in the forums now and then but I'm going to be busy with work, football and writing my novel.
