Progress not perfection

So I just had the worst panic attack that I've had in a very long time and I'm so proud of myself and how I handled it! I started to feel light-headed and my body was tingly. I felt like I wasn't in my own body. I kept checking my pulse. In the past I would have freaked out just making myself panic more. I didn't even want to call an ambulance this time. Instead I got some water and did some grounding techniques. All the hard work I've been doing this past year is finally paying off!

That's fantastic, well done! I learnt how to catch them before they got hold of me with CBT, haven't had an attack for a while now, I hope that I can keep a grip on then.. you're doing great!
