So over the past month since my sever panic attack started, I have concurred many obstacles. I went from being anxious all day every day, to only being anxious when I do specific things.. It started by going to work, I did it and now it's a pleasure to be at work, social gatherings, now I still get abit anxious at first but once there I'm the life of the party again, gym.. Driving.. The list goes on. Yesterday, I got my nails done as a spoil myself for doing well. As I walked there I began to panic.. I'd be sitting there with the fumes, Asians ladies speaking in there language and no way to distract myself.. OR RUN! I panicked and turned in the opposite direction.. Then I stopped and laughed at myself.. Turned around and walked my ass on in there and did it.. Then last night, sleeping is horrible for me these days.. Takes me hours to get to sleep.. Dreaded thoughts.. Alone in the dark with nothing but my always buzzing mind. I began to feel the panic, I quietly said no. I spoke to myself "relax, your okay, feel the way tour body sinks into the bed, the blanket against your skin, what can you hear? That means your at home safe, nothing can happen... Nothing... Can.." Next thing I know my alarm goes off.. HAPPY MORNING!!' I DID IT!!!
