Small victory. I think???

Well the last couple of days have been really good as far as symptoms, but still a lot of passing thoughts. I continue to bring myself back to positive thoughts but my mind just slowly wanders back, frustrating! Last night I did have a slight panic attack. I felt my heart start pumping harder. I tried to ignore and stay preoccupied but it continued on for a few minutes. I checked my pulse(normal), then my blood pressure (it was slightly higher than normal and it did come back down later) checked pulse again (normal again), continued to deep breath and it eventually went away. but while all this was going on I maintained my composure and didn't really freak out but it bothered me and I wondered if I would need a xanax. I finally settled down watched a little tv before trying to go to bed. I meditated as I have been nightly before bed as was able to fall asleep without a Xanax (Yay!). I did end up waking up around three in full thinking mode but once again I put on my headphones and listen to some ocean waves crashing and shortly fell asleep again until 5:30. Then it was time for work, but my  my weekend does starts after today. Thank God
