This week has been a massive struggle. Two panic attacks in one week, one of them very severe. Not feeling great tonight at 10:45 in the morning. ![]()

Throughout another week, this one less enjoyable than previous ones, I learn new methods to make life more bearable. This week, thanks to my therapist, is dedicated to positive affirmations. With life constantly being filled with negative thoughts the path to replace those with positive ones can be a very beneficial one. Personally when I remind myself that I am safe during a panic attack, as paranoia takes a key role, it helps greatly. As usual a google slides is made for this but I will be writing the best ones for me on a note card that I will carry with me. I'm hoping that the break from school and time with my mother will help me somewhat. ![]()
For the past two days I have been working on constructing a ppt of the 3 main ways to help ease panic before or during a panic attack. I will write more in the post later today of any more information I receive from my therapist. ![]()
Over the past three days I've read several articles from several different medical sources about MDD, GAD, paranoia, and tic disorder. I've read much more than the notes I have taken, but the most important aspects I found are in the document provided. I wish more people knew about mental illnesses and not to judge them, but now I feel comfortable explaining a few to people. I encourage anyone who has the time to do their own research and to not be judgmental to about things they cannot control. I can personally say it makes me so relieved and understood when someone is understanding of what I struggle with. This research has also made me feel like I understand myself more, that my symptoms aren't just appearing out of no where. ![]()
