Sooo I had a panic attack today. Im not sure why, I think i was just carrying alot for stress. Anyway it was scary like they always are BUT this one was soooo much different from the others. I wasn't scared that I was dying, I wasn't terrifying of becoming crippled by the symptoms, mental I was fine. I cried and i was experiencing all the big panic attacks symptoms to the point of my body actually going into shock but I need, it be over soon and that it's just panic. I'm not going to die. And in 10 mins it was over. I was able with the help of my sisters to calm down enough to go to my room and breath and regular my body . It was amazing. That has never happen. I observed my body while in panic and noticed what it felt like and ( even while crying and not being to see or move my hands from my face) I calmed down alone and was back to being myself in a matter of minutes. I was still feel all tingly for abit BUT I WAS NOT ANXIOUS! LIKE WHAT!! It was awesome, I felt like wow, I can do this,I can do this! It was bad but it wasn't that bad!! I can have another one and still get thru it! It was scary as fuck but I'm not going to freak out. I CAN live my life like this... if I have to. I CAN DO IT!!

though I'd share this mile stone.

This is awesome! You’ve got it! The key is not to expect to never have another panic attack but to know that if you do you can handle it. Way to go!!!

Well done to you, it’s all about you controlling the panic not it controlling you, and knowing that it will pass.
