I am so sorry to hear that. I am just a student of the social work and I am working as case manager in mental health agency. I know that my counselors are using different techniques not just cognitive behavioral therapy. They are using all kind of therapies and coping skills. Can you try mindfulness? It helps to accept yourself as you are and prevent panic attacks. Also, positive thinking as a doing a miracles. How positive thinking works? Easy, tell yourself that you are doing a good thing and commend yourself even when you just get up from bed and wash your face when you wake up. You made it. Reward yourself for coping with MH.
