ok so I haven't had a full blown panic in a while now yay!
The problem I'm having is when I'm walking alone. I've been walking to and from town (about 30min walk) to get to my studio. I'm skint which is why I've been walking. After about 10 mins when I get to the main road my chest starts really hurting and I get aware of my breathing and become anxious, I also feel very exposed if there is a lot of traffic. By the time I get to my studio I have to catch my breath and calm down, it's exhausting!
It doesn't feel like full blown panic but maybe it is but different?
Does anyone have any tricks for walking alone?
I've tried listening to music but that makes me paranoid about my breathing being heard. I need to somehow make myself believe I blend into the background.
