Constant fear of having an attack

[pinkcherryhearts]

I was really proud of myself today, I managed to go for a walk alone and even sat and had a drink at a cafe, which is a big achievement for me, even though i feel proud of myself im still constantly thinking about panic attacks even though im not actually having one. Im always in fear of when the next one will happen, if I done that same walk tomorrow Im so frightened I will have one and it will send me back to the beginning and I will end up stuck again, I wish I could forget about it but its always at the back of my mind.:weep:

Well done Pink, really well done on the achievement. Try to stay positive and maybe try and do that same walk again tomorrow and see how it goes?

Thanks John, I like the celtic flag, I was up in Inverness a few weeks ago before all this panic started, I love Scotland, im hoping that when I recover I can go back up there. I will try and do the walk tomorrow and if I have an attack at least I tried.
Best Wishes :)

No probs Pink :shades:

Scotland is indeed very nice and you should get up more often.

I'm sure that you will be fine. Let us know how you get on tomorrow. It's good to talk about it.

I'll echo AnxMum's comments... feel free to PM if you need to talk.

[pinkcherryhearts]

I will let you know how I did and make sure you all keep trying too, and let me know how your'e getting on.
