Dont wanna Jinx it!

[Chaz]

Hi-ya me again,

Thank-u to everyone who has replied to my post (any of them), all your advice has really helped, I'm already starting to cope ok, (touch wood), havn't had a PA for a while, but I don't wanna Jinx it, because most likely I'll have one soon now :( But I shouldn't think like that, naughty Chaz, lol. I couldn't possibly have anymore advice, so if I wasn't learning to cope by now i would be worried, I do like to ask questions still, just to make sure all my feelings are normal panic symtoms, and if there's is any body (a woman preferably), who has suffered PAs through their teenage years I would like to ask some questions, because the stress of growing up is bad enough for me, I'm surprised I can handle panic on top of it all.

So I'm generally doing alot better, yesterday a PA was starting up I just told my-self "it's normal, you've had it before", I just brushed it off, so I'm pleased with my-self, I'm learning to control it, instead of letting it control me! There were somedays I just thought I'd never get through it, never learn to cope, I think it was all in my last post saying how bad i felt and stupid. I am still alittle afraid of fainting, when I get dizzy, but I don't have to keep looking in the mirror anymore to check if I'm pale, I do check my pupils when I'm having trouble seeing, to see if it's a start of a PA, but that's about it lately. I've sorted my school options out, Thank God! I know my friends will always be there for me, (as well as my family), my 2 best friends each wrote a letter to me telling me they'll never leave my because of my PAs so now I know I have friends I can trust! So I have nothing to worry about, my year 9 SATS are next month, so it's all Revise Revise Revise!!! I hope I do ok!

Hey Chaz,

I'm glad to hear you're doing fine ;] It's very important that you keep repeating to yourself that even the worst PA can't hurt you in any way. The worst thing that can possibly happen, is to faint, and even fainting is nothing that bad ;] It's great that your family and friends support you. Don't be afraid to talk to them whenever you feel like it, let them know how you feel, I'm sure that they will understand and help.
When I was feeling anxious and panicky for the first time, I was 11 years old. It lasted for about a year, then all of my symptoms disappeared and I was fine. In fact, I completely forgot that I had ever had panick and anxiety problems. Now I'm 19. Unfortunately, a couple of months ago, I started feeling anxious and panicky again. It does get better with time, though, and I'm sure that I'll be fine again.
I know how hard it is for you to cope with panick during your teenage years. Don't worry, it's not gonna last forever, it's just a temporary condition. Enjoy your life, do the things that make you feel good, and don't be afraid. You'll be fine ;]
If you ever feel like you need some advice, reassurance, or just feel like sharing anything - write me a PM and I'll do my best to help ;]

Take care,
Allie

Well done Chaz.

Stay on top and show that panic who is boss! You are in control now so keep brushing it off - preferably into the gutter where it belongs!
