Been reading stuff from positivepanicattacks.com over the last few days and tried out a few tips today. I have just taken the kids bowling and I knew because of the way i have been feelign this week it would cause a panic attack. I just kept telling myself that panic has never killed anyone and that the symtoms would pass. I did not sit down when i felp dizzy and i did not try and leave ASAP and get home which is my normal coping statergy. I felt uncomfortable but the anxiety was managable and did not get to full blown Panis attack which is what I was expecting. I think the methods on this website are good its just gonna take time to retrain my brain. I refuse to go back on meds FULL STOP!

EXACTLY I even told my anxiety today that it shoul dbe worried because i have had ENOUGH and i am takign control back! Its so hard but I honestly believe positive thought and understanding the fight and flight in u sall is key to recovery.

Also before i looked for coping methods now I am lookign for a cure! And i believe there is a cure! We dont have to live with this forever!
