Am i gonna get a panic disorder ?
today in therapy i got a panic attack i haven’t gotten one since like 6th grade which was like 4 years ago and it really scared me and got me thinking that maybe i am gonna get the panic disorder back? The circumstance was me talking to my therapist about painful topics, i have my period really bad and i just upped my lexapro to 15 from 10 and was put on busparone i am also really tired, do u think i’m gonna get a panic disorder? Or was it this one time.
NO! your not going to develop and panic disorder, what happened is that you are dealing with feelings that cause anxiety in the first place.
this is what caused you to feel the panic, you need to work through it.

You need to break that initial cycle to destroy that learned behavior – Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) does this. A technique that you can use without CBT will be Distraction… There are several other techniques to help cope them!
