I "suffer" from Generalized Anxiety Disorder. Basically, I have frequent panic attacks, I tend to over worry, I am prone to stress as well as episodes of depression. I can recognize that I have negative thought patterns, but I often have trouble figuring out how to change them. I've gone to therapy, I take medication, and I take every day one step at a time.
Recently, I thought I was doing better. I hadn't had a serious panic attack in a few months, I was regulated on my medicine and feeling great. But, I don't know, I slipped back into my old habits, and no amount of breathing techniques were helping. I'm home for the summer now, and although it makes me feel pretty crappy, I can focus this time on getting back to that good place that I was at. I guess I've gotta go back to therapy.
So yeah, there's that.
