I've had GAD for a while but only started to get therapy recently. Had a big panic attack this last month, the worst I've had. Ringing in my ears, numb limbs, hard to breathe, tachicardia, the works. But got through it like a fucking pro with all I've learnt so far in therapy. Was back to normal in 30 minutes, whereas it took me hours before to calm down, coping with cigarettes, hard music and doing stuff to distract myself.

Not the biggest thing I've done (had a photography expo halfway around the world in Kazakhstan once), but definitely the thing I'm most proud of.
