Why do I have this?

Why do I have this? It has been 2 years since I have had panic attacks. For the last 3 weeks I have been having a minor episode. I have asked myself, "Why me?" I hate them. They don't feel good, I hate the racing heart, the fear of death and impeding doom. Why do I have this? am I going to have to live with panic attacks the rest of my life. I hate them. Then I realized today, that the reason why I have them is so that I can learn compassion and understand what all of you go through too. None of us are alone. It may feel like it at times, but we are not. Because I have had horrible panic attacks in the past allows me to understand what so many of your endure too. It also makes so grateful for the days in which I don't have panic attacks. Just thought I'd share. Remember, none of us are alone, we know what it feels like.

You will find peace., I know I have.
