I’m excited to share with you another Huffington Post article of mine that went live today! You may recognize parts of it, as it is a revised & edited version of one of my previous posts on The Other Courtney. Check it out and pass along to anyone struggling with anxiety, panic attacks, or any difficult situation in general. Acceptance can heal us in so many ways, I’m learning that the more I practice it.
————————————-
Fighting off your debilitating panic attacks often seems like the only option. But is it? Struggling with chronic anxiety is like living in a boxing ring with an invisible opponent. You don’t really want to be in the ring, you can’t seem to find a way out, and you’re not sure how you were dragged into this fight. But here you are again facing the familiar rapid pulse, shallow breathing, and intolerable dread. The harder you fight off the panic attack, the more you suffer. Each blow is more damaging than the last. Even when your opponent isn’t landing punches, you live in constant fear of his looming presence. Your opponent only gains strength as you grow more mentally, physically, and emotionally depleted during the days, weeks, or even years of fighting. The opposite of fighting is surrendering, and accepting defeat does not make you a winner. Or does it?

Once again, congrats on the national recognition. Very well deserved.
Another great post! Great job Court!!
You’re so famous! I love it and I love that you can share your story with so many people!
Thanks, Kelly!! I’m so thankful for the opportunity to do so, I hope it helps someone (or multiple someones) out there!

Yes, still rising! Thanks, B, love you too!
Dang, get it girl! Very awesome 🙂 Are you a regular for them now or what?
Thank you! I actually can write for them whenever I want and they either accept it and it’s published, or it’s rejected and nothing really happens haha. They decide where exactly it will end up on the site, but I can submit posts as often as I want. I really need to submit more often, that’s my goal for this year!
That’s AWESOME! Wow 😦
Woops!!! I meant —> 🙂
