I would just like to share that i am feeling like i can control this now.
I went out at the weekend with my boy/f and his family to a restaraunt
Before we went i had thought myself through every what if and to see what excuse i could make up for not going.
But none the less, i went, we got there and i think i must have squeezed my partners hand to pulp by the time we sat down,
It was quite busy in there and all i could concentrate on was what i was feeling, looking for the tell tale signs.
i admit that i fel bad, i was getting dizzy and everything, couldn't even join in the conversation, but i did my breathing, thought to myself that if i had to go stand outside i could, and the panic just passed and i managed to stay there and enjoy a meal, and even afterwards i wanted to stay, just being out felt great, so i now feel like i want to go out, i want to do things i used to, actually feel a happier person then i was before
so a benifit of anxiety is that it makes you happier when you know you can beat it and anything else life wants to throw
have fun all
thanks for reading
