I've been having anxiety and panic attacks for like almost a year now. I've been doing things to help build my esteem and confidence and have noticed my anxiety and panic attacks are going away. Has anyone else had this?

Yes, when your panic is connected to a specific image and you've successfully changed how you handle that image, you reduce the panic, the anxiety!

Hurrah for you!

havalah you can change it, you have to really set yourself to wanting to change it. I'm a firm believer the mind can do anything we want it to as its that powerful. I'm still trying to make me believe i can over come the anxiety and panic, yet that bad side will not allow it but i keep trying. Positivity is the best thing.

I think there is symbiotic relationship between anxiety and self confidence.

I have been involved in schooling, and abuse by faculty, which has whittled away my self confidence, even though I went into the program with much self confidence.

Now that I am being shoved out the door, I am starting to make contingency plans which have built my self confidence.

Hopefully, with time and healing, I will be back to where I once was.

I am glad to hear that things are moving in a very positive direction for you.

    I did the dumbest thing today.  I charged my earbuds, unplugged the block and put the block in my little bag instead of the earbuds.  I wasn't happy about that when I got to the gym.  What a dummy!

    Years ago, I won a mirrored armoire from my job.  It's in my bedroom but I rarely stand in front of it.  Yesterday, I had to have a dexascan done so I had to change into a gown.  There was a full length mirror in the changing room.  I'm aware that I gained 5 to 7 pounds over the last year from cheating on Keto but I didn't know what it looked like.  It was a reality check.
