Took my kids to the eye doctor and I had a slight anxiety attack we were put in a very small room and I was standing up talking with my kids I started to feel a bit dizzy and felt my face getting really warm, but I told myself nope not letting this happen I sat down cracked the door and it passed fairly quick and we finished the appointment!! Months ago I would have let it go out of control to the point of running out or probably would have cancelled all together, so guess in a small way maybe I'm figuring out I can control it, just need to keep up that thought!!

I would say that in a big way, not a small way, you are figuring out how to control it and you will build on that success. Maybe you are beginning to lose some of your fear of the symptoms of abxiety knowing them to be fakes that can't do you any real harm though they are still uncomfortable. If you maintain your progress, Wyoming, you'll be generating a lot less fear hormone and giving your nerves a rest and eventually they will recover and you will be free of anxiety once more.

I am definitely recognizing the anxiety coming on and most of the time I am able to push it off which is a huge step I can't get rid of it so I will live with it but I will no longer let it control me!
