While it's great to hear from you, I really wish that the news was less mixed, if that's the right word. *hugs*
I haven't had a "high-alert all hands on deck" type panic attack in years and yet I still fear them any time something starts going really wrong in my life, because my brain still hasn't gotten the message. I swear to high Heaven that I know intellectually what is going on, but nah, still not getting with the program.
On the other hand I have learnt what the new normal feels like and that this is how it feels like to be me without the soul-destroying anxiety and panic overshadowing everything else. It may have taken a little bit of time, but I got there in the end.
So here's to you, my friend, and your journey down the road of discovering your New Normal.
