I survived my graduation from high school!

That's great Katie!

The more you stay and don't escape (avoidance), the less the fear and panic will become over time. You did the right thing and you have a great and supportive Mom!

Thank you so much everyone! I love how supportive you are :)

And Matt, I will enjoy my summer (you did get the seasons right). Next step is to see if I can do my university studies on campus.

I probably wouldn't have been able to do it without my Mum, she's my main support person when I go out. And then when I saw my friends, it was like I was my old self again.

As for the panic attacks, the only thing I can suggest is to just let wash over you, there's nothing you can do to control it (unfortunately). No matter how much I just wanted to escape, and as much as I hated the fact Mum wouldn't let me, the best thing to do is stay there.

Hi Kaitie995,

A big congratulations to you, and I guess I can wish you a good summer before moving on to university. (hope I have my hemisphere climates right)

Happy to hear you had a great night and that you were able to celebrate with your friends.

Any thing in particular you can share as to how you made it past your panic attacks?

Thanks for sharing your story, All the best

Hi everyone,

Just wanted to share my exciting experience! My high school formal was last night and I managed to make it through the night, even though I had several panic attacks. It was the most amazing night and all my friends were so excited to see me because I've missed the past six months of school but I was able to graduate because I was an accelerated student and had done enough to achieve my Overall Postition and make it into university :D

I was so proud of myself, and wanted to show you all as proof that anything is possible :)

P.S. sorry if some of the things I've said are a bit confusing, I'm from Australia ;)
