It was mentioned to me that today is my 7th month anniversary here.
For those of you just beginning. On June 1st, 2014 I had a Panic attack so bad I ended up at the hospital in fear I was having a heart attack. This was after many days of feeling severe anxiety. It was a daily cycle. I was back at hospital again for another severe Panic attack which again I thought was a heart attack within a few days. I honestly thought I was dying. Not so, this was the beginning of my diagnosis of Panic Attacks and Agoraphobia. Looking for answers online I came across this site and just read the forum for a few days as a guest. Then I joined on this date 7 months ago today.
Yes, I struggled. Yes, I had some setbacks. Yes, I believe I have succeeded.
It has been the best thing I have done for myself. Today my anxiety level is a 2. If you're reading this as a guest, stop, join, ask, talk, do the work. It will be the best thing you can do for yourself. For those of you that have just joined, do the work, ask, be apart of the forums. CBT works.
To those on here that helped me get this far in the forums, a heartfelt Thank You to all of you!
