I went out with my fiancé tonight and we went to the movies, it was only the second movie I have gone to in over six years. And because my service dog is still in training I didn't take her. Well I am always a little worried when I go somewhere that I would have a panic attack and well mid way through the movie sure enough I did. I hate when I get like that. I powered through it and stayed because I couldn't let the anxiety win but some days I am so tired and sick of fighting it. My fiancé try's his best to understand and be supportive but it's hard on him to. I just wish they made like an epipen for panic attacks. Morning will be here and I'll feel better but tonight is just frustrating and making me feel like a failure and that I'll never beat this. Anywho hope the rest of your night is going better than mine.

Hi

Sorry to hear you had a panic attack.

Don't beat yourself up you used your coping skills and were able to stay at the movie so although it was difficult you are winning the battle. I understand how frustrating this can be but try and focus on the positives and live in the moment the best you can.

Hi PB,

I hope that you are feeling better today, and can see things in a more positive light...

...and that is as the others said...that you did it!

You did not shy away from going...and beyond that, you made it through an attack...and are now stronger than ever before because of it.

Each time we face our fear and back them down, we are growing and progressing. I know that you are goin to continue in your recover because of your willingness to keep pushing forward.:)

How long until your companion is ready to work, and accompany you everywhere you need her to? I am sure you are anticipating this! :)

With much encouragement!

Today was much better and I was able to go with my friend and sat 2.5 hours while she got a tattoo, so a much better day. I even made an appointment for me to get my next tattoo in a couple weeks- one that is very meaningful to me. It's on days like today that I realize how important it is for me to fight it and not to let it win. Coco Bella (my service dog in training) still has another year or so to go. I probably could have brought her to the movies with me but being 15 weeks her puppy hyperness might get in the way.

I had some horrible panic attacks last year for the first time in my life and it devastated me completely, so I know your pain. I haven't had one in a while, just less serious anxiety attacks. Just remember that it cannot kill you, it is just thoughts and your body's response to those thoughts. Wearing a rubber band around your wrist can work, it snaps your mind a different way and can stop a panic attack even as its happening. Properly breathing is key, too. Try and meditate once in a while, I think thats what helped stop my panic attacks for the most part. Panic and anxiety make us unaware, and we have to be aware. Not being aware shoots us into 15 different directions and its terrifying. Remember to ground yourself and remind yourself as well that you are here, you are fine, and you can do this. Sending love and hugs,
