Hi! Even joining this community is a big win for me, recognising I need help and I'm not the only person in the world feeling like this (easy on a bad day to convince myself I'm just crazy!). So yay! And this evening I was walking into town and started feeling all the panic attack symptoms, wanted to turn back or find a bench to sit down, but kept telling myself I'm safe, only need to do a few more steps, a few more minutes and then see how I am. And I managed to go to the event I was dreading, yes I didn't enjoy it and was feeling panicky most of the time, but I tried! usually I would've given up before even leaving the house. :)
