What a fab forum ... at last someone to talk to x

[Trembler]

Fabulous site, have already picked up some great advice :yesyes:

My issues are having panic/anxiety about going places such as supermarkets, shopping centers, basically anywhere I can`t escape from. I hate standing in a que "i have no escape" unless I am with someone which then allows me to walkaway at times.

My problem started about 8-9 yrs ago when I started feeling dizzy when I was out & about - usually when I was in the same places I mentioned earlier. Only last week I have had a balance issue diagnosed .... which is great because now i know WHY !!!

But the panic & anxiety has made it worse as I am always expecting it happen when I go out ... this is where my problem lies.

Happy to take advice & if I can ... give some too ... thanks for having me NMP xxxx

Thanks everyone .... :flowers:
Went shopping again today .. with hubby for support of course .. so sick of this feeling so have got to do something about it for the sake of my 10yr old :(

I went to a retail park (shopping centres ...no no !!) as had to get a few things, had a bit of a blip & felt such a plonker.

What helped me though was to think of something that really made me laugh ... I sorted this out before we went so i had something ready to use... I also made a list of the things i needed to get ... they may sound silly things but they did help a bit as it was something to take my mind off thinking "what if I go dizzy, what if I feel faint, what if I faint" moments.

Anyone else have any coping mechanisms they use ???
