Anxiety or Panic Attacks

I had my first therapy session this past week. I'm optimistic about beating this disease and felt pretty good just unloading on someone for an hour.

One thing we talked about was Panic Attacks and Anxiety. It ends up that now I think I am having Panic Attacks when originally I thought I was having high anxiety. I'm not saying theres much difference, but I think I was assuming my normal state was...well, normal, and I was having anxiety when I got amped up.

I think now that I'm normally in a high anxiety state, and I'm having panic attacks when I'm 'amped up'.

I felt really good after therapy. My mind was relaxed and distracted, and feeling positively and optimistic. It only lasted an hour or two but was very enlightening.

I have another talk session next week, and I am expecting a call back from a medical facility regarding an evaluation session for possibly being prescribed some medications to help get this show on the road!

Well, I have some other thoughts from just the first hour of therapy and I have an interesting question I'll post about tomorrow, or early this week.
