HOW TO STOP THE ‘PANIC’ ATTACKS For a large portion of my life (roughly a decade) daily panic attacks made my life a living hell. From the moment I would wake until I would sleep that night I was at a constant battle with myself trying to keep the panic attacks away, dreading my next one and ultimately this one bring them on. I couldn’t do anything with my life, no travelling, socialising, even just to try something new I would be crippled by panic attacks. It was only when my brother passed 9 years ago I faced death in the face and seen life is fragile and never promised. This was the initial F YOU to my panic disorder. I decided that if I died (given that was my thought process at the time) at least I can say that I lived. I pushed myself outside of my comfort zone and WHEN the panic set it I would say to myself ‘if this is it then so be it’ Still to this day they peak their head up from time to time , but I don’t fear them I welcome them because now I welcome uncertainty and whatever life throws my way. #panicattack #panicattackhelp #panicdisorder #mentalhealthjourney #mentalhealthrecovery #mentalhealthsupport #breakingthestigma
