Who brave we really are

Hi

Not blogged for ages, since I returned to work after a 4 months absence due to panic attacks, still at work still having panic attacks but am there http://www.nomorepanic.co.uk/images/smilies/yahoo.gif

Have been thinking that people who have experienced panic attacks are truly the bravest people of all, instead of us thinking we are weak for having them we are probably the strongest people of all :) Not a lot of people have faced their darkest fears in lifetime and the fact that we all wake up every morning and know that we have to face our fears and still carry on even with smiles on our faces, I think we should be giving ourselves a pat on the back instead of beating ourselves up for having them.

Have a great day everyone

Never thought of it like that:D

Yep especially when it's an illness for some of us and there's no way you can stop these dreadful feelings without medication or severe therapy.

Thanks x

I think you're right Reeny. I mean, it's amazing when someone is brave enough to try something amazing like a parachute jump. But we face fears as big as this every single day. It's brilliant you have gone back to work, you're quite right that doing so makes you very brave.

Thanks Reeny, i really needed to hear this today :hugs:

I agree massively. To experience a physical response to fear and panic and to still carry living like nothing happened takes a lot of balls. We all need to praise ourselves more for this.
