So PROUD of myself

Sorry, but I need to brag. I felt a anxiety attack start coming on. Instead of letting the panic get the best of me, I used all of the tools that everyone here has shared with me. I did not panic, did not rush to the emergency room. Instead, I was able to use my deep breathing, relax, and tell myself that it was just anxiety and it is nothing to fear. I was not going to die, I was not having a heart attack. The attack only lasted less than five minutes instead of the usual 30-60 minutes. This is the first time that I was able to do this. I am so proud of myself but cannot take all of the credit. A BIG THANKS to all of you that have provided me with advice and support to make this condition easier!
