Overcoming Panic Attacks: My Journey to Recovery

just wanted to put out there that I used to have such bad panic attacks that I would almost call the ambulance, struggled to leave my room let alone my house, and completely stopped going out anywhere (even supermarkets and university). currently I am working as a peer support person, studying a PhD and going out places on my own. it took a long time, and lots of horrible days, but it is possible to live life again, even if im not back to 100% yet 😇

So awesome to hear! Congrats! Ive had anxiety for as long as I can remember, but hadn't experienced true panic attacks until November. It was the scariest thing ever and I didn't know why it started..I've dealt with many health issues since then. But I have slowly worked through some things and feel like I've made progress. Before, I couldnt watch anything that wasn't upbeat/happy or it would throw me into a panic attack. I had to constantly distract myself or I would have a panic attack and be totally convinced I was dying. I was bed ridden for 2 weeks with constant panic attacks and vertigo. I feel for anyone who has to go through this, because unless you go through it you don't realize how absolutely terrifying it can be.

This has been me recently. I've had this before but it's been a while. Only being able to watch happy positive things and the vertigo and being bedridden is way too relatable. I think I'm past the worst of it but it's still hard :( Trying to stay positive about it
