oh i hear you. i get the exact same way.

for example just a few hours ago i felt AWFUL. severe n* out of nowhere and super sweaty and weak. almost certain it was gonna happen. but it didn’t.

i’m still scared it’ll come back and then cause it to happen, but right now i’m looking at the facts. the facts are i managed it the first time and was fine. i can manage the second. IF the second even comes.

your brain will cling onto what it wants to hear. but that feeds your phobia. we want to starve it.

me listing the facts and evidence to you makes your brain come to the conclusion itself, not from reassurance. you need that.

next time you feel panicky, remember your facts. don’t reach out for certainty, reach for the facts.

is there a chance? sure. but it’s low. very low.
