Hey, Kelly. Good to see you again.

Don't try to force yourself to not be afraid of crowds. Accept it for now. Crowds make you panicky (me too). Not the end of the world. If being in a crowd like at a parade is going to induce a panic attack, perhaps the best thing is to not make yourself go to that kind of situation.

OK, maybe you want to be able to go, and I think over a long time frame that can be a goal to work on--treating the panic symptoms so you can tolerate certain difficult situations that you really want to be ablt to tolerate. But in the short run, it seems like a tall order to ask yourself to go to these types of situations.

I allow myself to choose not to go to big crowds. One of the best things I've ever done for myself!
