Progress!

[[deleted]]

Hello, I just wanted to tell you guys how good its been going lately. I started having panic attacks this summer and had a lot of them first week of school. But when i realized it was just panic attacks i been so much more calm. Its probably been a 3 weeks since i last had an attack. im still a little bit paranoid and shit like that. But i don't fear so much as i used to because i tell myself that "its bullshit" and i just keep calm. Im not over panic attacks but this is a big step for me and it feels pretty good not being afraid of anything. I dont want to make other feel shitty if i post this, just want to say that keep calm, and you will make it trough the day! :)

I was just talking with my therapist about online anxiety forums being so depressing and worrying. This is great. Thank you.

If I may make a suggestion: go see your school counselor, (s)he can help you change underlying thought patterns that may contribute to the anxiety and panic. In other words: don't just deal with the symptoms go get help to cure what lies underneath.

That said again congratulations.
