Today I went to the doctor because of a normal check-up. One year ago it was impossible for me to go to any medical appointment alone because that was one of my biggest triggers for panic attacks. Every time I already got a panic attack while I was on my way there. But today, for the first time, I went there alone again and although I felt very uncomfortable I didn’t get a panic attack. I just concentrated on my breath while waiting there and tried to turn my thoughts to something positive. Last year I couldn’t have imagined that this would be possible.
