I read over my last blog post and noticed how grim it was. I did notice a spike with my anxiety at the time of that post but things are a lot better now.
Things have improved to the point where situations that used to make me very anxious are not anxiety provoking at all. I haven't had an extreme panic attack in some time now but there are still some situations that I have to expose myself to but I have a lot of confidence and truly believe that I'll continue on the right path.
I find that the Zoloft is really helping and it is by far the best medication that I've taken for panic and anxiety. Of course I truly feel that the medication alone is not the reason for my recovery. The medication has taken the edge off some of the symptoms of panic so that I'm able to face my fears without being so caught up in the panic. This has allowed me to put into practice my CBT skills and stay in more anxiety provoking situations for a longer amount of time.
I truly feel that I'm making gains and with my desire to fight this to the fullest I'm sure I'll make a full recovery.
