I went outside...willingly!

[Rosie-Chan]

I haven't been able to go outside willingly in a long time. Although I still only allow myself to do it at night while most people are at home and with someone I trust, I felt proud of myself for it. The anxiety and panic attacks are still things I can't control and are still rather serious, but I still managed to make a little progress.

Morning Rosie-Chan

I don't think we have chatted before so welcome to the site.

Try not to think of controlling your panic attacks as this gives them power, try saying to yourself I know what is happening and this will pass. Not easy I know but it is a way of telling your brain that you understand what's going on and you will be okay once this has passed.

Well done for going out and you should be proud of yourself.

Are you getting any support from your doctor as well?

Wishing you a nice calm day.
