Making a plan - Panic Disorder

[NikeYrk]

I can’t stress enough that when you want to start recovery steps you have to make plan for it. It for one helps you see where your at and adds some structure to your life. Writing on paper what you want to do and where you want to be will help you feel like “okay I’m finally taking control back over my life”, and this is what I want. Starting with writing an overall long term goal, then under start writing the tiny goals it will take you to get there, and that could be 10 things leading up to the big goal. You will need to learn about exposure therapy, how to work with your sensations and feelings to help along the way. After that is all said and done you have to actually DO IT. It looks great on paper all the things you want to accomplish, and you probably always say one day things are gonna get better, but how will they when you’re not doing anything, because your stuck in the way you’ve been living and are used to it. You’re not just going to one day magically be able to drive, or go out of town (maybe for those who have only had a panic attack and didn’t develop panic disorder), because you kept hoping for it, it’s only happens by doing exposure and physical work.

NikeYrk, I totally agree with your post. None of us like surprises and that

is why making a plan and having structure works for anxiety.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts and this video. xx
