You definitely don't want to know why my panic attacks stopped. If you do ever deign to consider their theory, I will mention that it helped me. Which certainly does not mean that you need to embrace or even consider it.

It wasn't a fun change. I REALLY liked being a needless wonder, immune to the weaker emotions that plagued "others". I am still that person, sometimes. It's a very comfortable fit. I think the turning point for me was inwardly admitting that I was kind of ignoring anything that didn't fit my version of the truth. That REALLY sucked. I mean REALLY. It's still kind of awful, but better than being at the mercy of panic attacks.
