....I think I'm doing a bit better!
I've been struggling with panic attacks and general anxiety since September last year. Had Depression and anxiety in the past, this was my most significant relapse in a while.
Recently I feel more able to cope with the panic. Last week i felt a wave of panic sweep over me and I had the thought 'here it comes again' but then from somewhere, maybe all the Clare Weekes books are embedding in my head somewhere, I said to myself 'so what, if it comes again, I'll get over it again. I will feel horrible for a while but then it will be gone'. I then tried to conscious relax into the panic.. and it seemed to neutralise the panic and the attack never came. I felt so positive afterwards as well.
I thought I would wait to see how the next week went and I've been ok! Some general anxiety and feelings if unease at times, but no panic attacks.
I hope I don't sound cocky and annoying. Just wanted to share my positive week x x
