    Hi Smallepiphanies and Kris, thank you!

    Yup I am seeing a therapist and learning meditation. Baby steps but hopefully they get me somewhere 🙂

    The cause of my first panic attack was probably a traumatic break-up with my fiancee of 8 years. I probably suppressed a lot of emotions in defiance of dealing with the onslaught of grief and depression. It’s been 6 months since the break, 4 months since I’ve developed anxiety. I’d like to believe things happen for a reason, but sometimes in the throes of my anxious symptoms, that is truly hard to believe, but I’m forging on.

    In any case, this is a really useful bit of writing I came across which I found inspiring and very informative. I hope it can help anyone here. And please, I welcome any other success stories. Pile ’em on!

    Hi CherryTea, thank you! That really helped 🙂

    I totally agree with you especially about compassion to one’s self and not living in anxiety about your anxiety. I think this bit is the one that gets me the most! You’re right about it all starting with thoughts – these are the ones that make me most anxious because my racing mind just comes up with something and then I can feel the physical symptoms kick in before I even have the time to separate feeling from thought.

    I am still a work in progress, but I will most definitely follow some of your excellent tips. Thank you for reaching out, Merry Xmas and a Happy New Year!
