From experience; it wasnt until I started trusting that my symptoms of a panic attack wasnt going to kill me did I become able to push my limits. It took years and it took proof, to my own self conscious, before I could truly believe it. Like a light bulb, one day I suddenly realized that everything I had felt and feared over the last 10 years had never resulted in my death. All of my symptoms and thoughts were based on a lie and for the first time I saw them for what they were. I became more confident and determined to not let a paralyzing lie control me any longer. Slowly I pushed back my limits and I went farther from home every time. I had set backs. A lot of set backs! Its not easy. As a person who has had severe panic disorder since 1993 I can honestly say, calling out my panic as the liar it really was and facing the fears, I became free of agoraphobia and I havent had a major panic attack in years. Again, its not easy and it will take time but with experience and all honestly I can say that,it is possible.
