First time posting, first time experiencing panic attack/anxiety

[PriscillaB]

So had my first panic attack in April, since then I’ve stayed with anxiety that I will cause myself more panic attacks, & I’m fixed on how long will this take before I feel some real calmness. I have not seen counselor yet until next week, was given meds last week but I don’t want to start them. I do take CBD oils, natural calming techniques but sometimes the thoughts are rough. I reach out to family and I have good support. Just want to ask if this is normal. Everyone tells me it will pass, maybe I expect to be better overnight & really not trying to be calm & have faith.

Thank you, I feel like I put a lot of pressure on myself to be 100% & I end up increasing that anxiety. Especially with conquering it.

Thank you so much for replying. I have good support but there’s just a different level of comfort that comes from the words of those that truly understand. ❤️
