hi everyone,
i don't know if i'm posting this in the right place, apologies if i'm not.
one of my colleagues recently re-trained as a masseuse - i heard that massage is really good for reducing anxiety and she is a really good friend of mine so i thought i'd give it a go and went along this afternoon. it was quite intense - one hour full body massage, but i felt really relaxed immediately afterwards. within half an hour i started feeling really weak and a bit weird and now i'm feeling really panicky.
is this normal? she said i'd feel sluggish for a day or two but i'm beginning to feel really rough. it's so annoying because i've been feeling so much better recently and now i feel terrible.
i tried doing yoga a couple of weeks ago and felt terrible afterwards - thought maybe it was too strenuous. massage has made me feel just as bad - i feel like there is nothing i can do to help myself relax (apart from meds which i am trying to avoid).
sorry to bang on about it,
henri x
