Suggest Therapy For Anxiety And Panic Attacks

im 19 years old male and 6 ft tall. I used to have anxiety and would have panic attacks. I used to love playing sports but cant enjoy them anymore beacuse i felt like i was having a heart attack due to my heart beating so fast. I stopped playing sports for a while but finally got a medicine to slow down my heart rate and have been able to play sports again. I dont have panic attacks anymore but now i have thoughts that im going insanse and that im living in a dream and i feel like i will never be normal again.

Hi,

Please do not let these thoughts demoralize you. These are common in anxiety disorders and the more you worry about them, the more frequent they become. Instead, try to focus on your strengths and appreciate the good things in life.

Best wishes.
