Last night during training I had one of the worst panic attacks Ive dealt with in years. I dealt with shaking, shortness of breath, feeling like the world was closing in... You name it. Was it dreadful? Absolutely! But once I came out of it I realized something pretty amazing. A few years back that would have completely crippled me. I would have left right in the middle of the class, or curled up in the bathroom, and probably needed someone to drive me home. Not to mention the fact that I would have turned to taking an anti-anxiety medication. BUT Ive gotten sooo much stronger. I worked through the sensation last night using self talk. I wasnt ashamed of dealing with it (still embarrassed, of course... But not ashamed.). I didnt turn to a medication - I worked through it. And I did it. Now if thats not getting stronger - then I dont know what is. Be proud of your accomplishments -- no matter how great or small they are!
