how fast can you get over thiss?

but am i just fooling myself? or is it possible that i will feel like how i used to beforee sooner that i thought. :blush:

Life's about learning new things and solving problems - from a biological viewpoint. So when you get your first panic attack it's something that you've never experienced before, and you don't know how to deal with it. And like all problems we have in life, the mind needs to know how to solve them (from a evolutionary point of view), and won't let go until you do successfully solve it. That's why it's so hard to shake off panic once you've experienced it. So what we basically have to do is to learn new skills that we've never needed before. That's the idea behind CBT, and relaxation techniques.
