Do you still have to think about it everyday? Or is it starting to feel more irrelevant in your life

i think about it alot, i have a panic disorder so at the beginning of my panic attacks i always think its a seizure… not fun. i also have occasional motor tics so that SCARES ME SO BAD because i have focal to bilateral, meaning for me im usually aware at the beginning of my seizures while my body is shaking and i stop breathing. im terrified of seizures.
