I like the concept of this forum... Positive stuff! I USED to suffer from panic attacks and anxiety. But now, I am cured! All thanks to Panic Away - which was recommended by a friend. I can now drive, fly, got a married and even... did a bungee jump! How positive is that!?
I recently wrote a review on my story and about Panic Away as it has given me a permanent cure unlike the other medication, therpaies and hypnosis I tried.
I FINALLY went in my front yard and got rid of some of the weeds growing out there! And I even watered the grass!!!! Holy crap. I havent been able to water my frontyard in like a year... Yeah its kinda lame, but i really loved doing that. Keeping my yard looking nice. And it was really peaceful outside.
I stoped doing it cause of my SA and depression. So yeah, im really proud of myself that I did it. I hope I can do it again tomorrow!

I just went to the opticians to get contact lenses, because i'm sick of wearing glasses all the time (i'm short sighted) I was really nervous about it, had a moment of blinding panic when i went into the waiting room. They kept asking me to sign stuff - i'm 16 now, so i have to sign perscriptions etc. instead of getting my mum or dad to sign it. That was freaky. I hate writing in front of people. Not that i have terrible handwriting - it's just another one of the those social anxiety things. But anyway, it went okay. So that's that for another six months. Yay!
Ah that reminds me of when I went to Germany last year. When my friend went to the dentist there I had to wait in the waiting room until his braces and his sisters' were seen to. I had to wait a full half an hour in a waiting room about half full. Unfortunately for me my German is pretty awful and I was going over the phrases in my head again and again of what my friend told me to say, should anyone ask. However after a while I forgot parts of it when BAM the dentist's assistant walked in. I thought she was asking for the next person, but no, no one stood up no matter how much I wished it. And then it happened, it almost felt like slow motion when I saw her eyes glance over everyone and stop at me. I took a deep breath said: "Ich bin Englender, ich werden mein freund". Then I felt like my secret was exposed, they all knew I was alein. The next 10 mins. of trying to understand and be interested in a german woman's maganize was very difficult, especially of when I looked up with the children looking almost scared of me, and their parents wispering to them and weakly smiling back. One of the strangest, most uncomfortable moments of my life, yet I got through it!

Yay! Another sucess! I went to the hairdressers today, and i was incredibly scared. Mostly probably because it was a different one than i usually go to (it was recommended by a friend), so i didn't know any of the people. Also, i was nervous because i decided to get my lovely long curly locks totally chopped off and straightened - i was scared that it might look really stupid. But i went ahead with it any way (and i dragged my mum along for moral support!)
But it was really great! Like, one of those rare and wonderful occasions where nothing goes wrong to fuel your anxiety. The stylists were really friendly - i even started chatting to some of them. And - shock - i even had the confidence to chat with the really cute assitant guy! I'm proud of myself - this whole thing is a huge deal to me, a real success. And my hair looks really great, too!
Also, and i'm really pushing the boat out here, i've bought tickets to a concert - a classical concert (one of the Proms in London). I'm bringing my dad with me (my parents are like "safety people" - i always feel a lot less anxious if one of them is around, and i know that's very childish, but i can't help it) It's in September, so i've got a little while to worry about it yet, but i am quite excited, too. I know i'll be a complete nervous wreck on the day, but i'll post to say how it goes!
