I mean I guess I'm making progress though, I almost cried when having a panic attack while volunteering during a lunch shift but I managed not to and pulled myself together without bolting out the door.

That's pretty huge progress because typically I would have just left if I were in a situation like that

I just have to tell myself what's the worst that can happen, no one is going to yell at me, I may panic a little but it's not the end of the world and I can get through it. I got through it last time so if it happens again I'll be even better prepared and know I've made it through it before

I guess maybe this is good exposure therapy
