First attack in a while

Hello everyone.

Soooo. Lately I've been doing better, I am starting to see the light with this whole anxiety thing. In other words, I don't feel as hopless and lost as I did when it first started. Untill today. I had what im sure was a panic attack. It was random and out of nowhere. It started when I heard a noise and I asked myself what the noise what and thought to myself "What if nothing mafe that noise and Im just hearing things?" Thats when I stopped and looked around, I was completely confused on what what happening and what I was doing. My whole body got a weird sensation and I started felt the urge to run and hide. My heart started beating fast, I was in complete panic and my whole body was shaking. My thoughts were racing and I couldn't hold on to myself or anything. I felt like I was going crazy and like there was no hope for me. I was so discouraged after that attack because I've been doing so much better, then that happens. I feel like I took a huge leap back. Now I am afraid that I will have another attack at anytime. Im pretty on edge. I feel really hopeless that I will never overcome this like I thought I would .

If anyone has any words of encouragement or advice I would really appreciate it . I don't know what to think.

According to Claire Weekes and Barry McDonagh a setback is where you learn the most and where you can make the most progress. Don't be disappointed, be excited that you are experiencing a setback because you now have the tools to sail through it and come out the other side stronger and wiser.
