You can change though if you want; never feel like you are dictated by your circumstances.

Just wanna give you a hug :( You can do it!

I'm right there with you. I have panic attacks too, and they have gotten in the way of getting jobs and seeing friends and even leaving the house some days. I'm still trying to figure out how to cope, but I have someone special who helps me through my stuff. It's good to have people around you who really care and want to help you. I'm going to a counselor right now, maybe you could too, just to have someone to talk to who knows what you're going through? I wish I could help, all I can do is give hopefully helpful advice. I hope you feel better soon, and I hope you can see your family soon, or at least talk to them. I'm sure they love you and they understand what you're going through.

I'm very sorry.

When you own mind is your worst enemy...

...and your heart breaks because of it.

That's how I was yesterday and am right now. *hugs*

Sorry for the circumstances that dictated this drawing, But it is a beautiful and emotional piece. I truly hope things work out for you Remy *hugs*

Ey yo, I suffer from the same thing but found two words REALLY help: "Fuck it". Deep breath, good look at the whole thing like "So I'll be out there doing this and that, or at home doing the same stupid stuff....fuck it, I'm going". And not just once, saying it over and over and over until you're doing it. Still nervous as hell but worth it once you're there.

wow you captured this feeling perfectly. Well done... and I hope things get better for you

travel is always stressful, i wish you luck and try not to be hard on yourself, one's fears and anxieties tend to get worse if you beat yourself up over it. that submition art looks great, the expression in it is very strong.

The best way I keep calm when something severe happens it to force myself into believing the situation is an everyday regular thing.
Logically panic solves nothing and only creates problems, especially in a life or death scenario.

My mind is my own worst enemy, mainly because I worry too much. Mainly on the subjects of "I know I should have done this instead of that...", "There's not enough hours in the day, hurry, hurry, HURRY!", or "What if I mess up (now, tomorrow, etc.)?". I don't know. I just tend to worry about what could have been, what is, and what could be; time in general. This is probably what causes most of my problems in the first place, but my mind just won't let it go, there's always that undercurrent of worry and nerves. In other words, I worry about everything!

At least you have one thing that you can work on remedying... I wish you the best of luck (probably a bit late, but still... late luck is better than none at all...).

I think the same way! I also over-think things too much that's my problem lol.
