Thank you for sharing. It is so great to hear from someone else who was also significantly helped by CBT. I could have written the quote above. Except for me it was nearly 5 years ago. I had full on Panic disorder (consuming fear of panic attacks), had spotty work attendance and was nearly homebound with an overwhelming fear of driving, and was convinced I had gone crazy past the point of no return, not to mention 1000 little ways that anxiety was limiting my life in ways that I didnt even realize! I now commute 20 miles on the HIGHWAY without batting an eye.

CBT was really an ideal solution for my panic attacks. It gave me tools to use when stuck in the worst depths of panic, and I am very grateful.
