Hello all,
I've not posted on this forum since joining a while ago, to be honest because I'm scared of writing about my problems and experiences even on here.
Today I had some really good news…I finally achieved something at work I've been working towards for weeks. However I then almost straight away had a panic attack on the bus on the way home. I know it's because of so much stress building up over that time, but this makes me feel completely useless as like I'll never be able to be happy or feel normal about anything.
I could really use some advice about how to get over panic attacks and not feel like such a failure after having one. I know there are lots of medical/scientific explanations for them but I can't seem convince myself not to feel so down about it.
Anyway, any advice would be appreciated.
