Doing ok. Mood continues to be stable if a little bit flat.
I havent had a panic attack requiring meds for 8 days which Im happy about. This interoceptive exposure stuff Im doing is hopefully doing its thing.
For those who dont know what that is: basically you pick a symptom of a panic attack e.g. racing/thudding heartbeat. Then you bring on the symptom by walking fast on the spot until your heart is racing. By simulating a symptom of a panic attack in a controlled environment you teach your brain that a thudding heart is not dangerous. Thats the gist of it anyway.
Hugs to those who need them.
