Since I accepted my panic disorder & started to get help for it I decided to write an online blog - Sounds daft seeing as I have always said that blogging is for weirdos Turns out its a real stress buster. I have been putting down all my 'good' days so that when I have a 'bad' day I can read back & try to take something from it and I has really helped.
I asked a close friend to read it and he thought it was hysterical - all my little quirks and the way I describe what happens to me and it made me feel really good to think that someone could 'enjoy' what I write and also to help them understand what its like for someone who actually has P.D.
I wonder if others find a diary / blog helpful and if you find sharing it with other people as thrilling as I have. I did think at first this is too private but then I realised that maybe I need to educate my friends & family by letting them read it so as they know how I am feeling but also know how it feels to have a great day. A great day to them is perhaps finding a £10 on the floor - to me just walking out my door is the best thing that day
