Had a blip today

[heths]

Hi everyone,

I've just been out this morning for another practise in a taxi. I was doing well on the journey and when I was in the clinic. But when leaving the clinic to go back to the taxi, I mustn't have been breathing correctly and I started to feel lightheaded and faint.

It scared me and I went back into the clinic waiting room to sit down. My heart was beating faster and I was shaking. My home support lady was with me and was reminding me to do my breathing and it did get better and I did cope with it. But now when i've come home I feel emotional and drained from it. And although i'm trying not to think this, I am worried something similar will happen on Monday when I have my first councelling appointment there.

Hi Heather,

Can I say I think you did really well this morning. You did it today and you can so do it on Monday. Try to put the thought of Monday out of your mind over the weekend(I know it's hard). We are all here for youx

Thinking of you

remember blips are an important part of recovery, essential even, they make you deal with any returns of symptoms or panics better in the future.

it is not a step back but another tough step forward and as claire weekes says an essential one

good luck on this rollercoaster journey

Thank you everyone for all you have said.

I've started to get more worried as it's getting nearer to Monday. I wish I didn't get like this. I keep feeling low and anxious and keep having to distract myself.

I feel scared.
