I've had quite a good handle on my anxiety and panic attacks the last couple of weeks. I felt really good about how well i was doing.
I had my first CBT session this morning - told my counsellor i felt i was doing well with distraction and self talk and felt it was really helping me. He advised me to carry out an experiment the next two weeks where if i get anxious feelings to just accept them and let them happen as the only way to get rid of them is to accept them otherwise he said i'm just masking the anxiety and never really recovering from it. This makes sense to me and im willing to give anything a try to recover from this.
I was in work earlier and all of a sudden it felt like the room shifted (like a dizzy spell) it only lasted about 10-15 seconds but it has sent me into a bit of a panic / anxiety attack!! (not as bad as my previous ones, i am getting better at getting them under control - no ambulance this time!)
Does anyone else get these dizzy spells out of nowhere???? I have a fear of feinting so when they happen my mind automatically thinks uh-oh!!!!
