Well, i'm about to post as a success story. I'm not sure if its classed as 1. Lets see what u other experts of anxiety and panic make of this
2 years ago i've suffered two major panic attacks. After that i was a reck & had to end up on anti-depressants. I had cbt, anxiety management & stress control over a period of two years. I've mstly gotten over the agriphobia that i developed back then.
Today, i went to the hairdressers. I did my slow controlled breathing and things were okay. Once i started talking to hairdresser, while she was applying my colour, i noticed i held my breath alittle for some reasn. It brought on a panic attack. I wasnt able to squash this one. So, the lady took me outsif with a glass of water. I remembered my slow breathing techniques. It seemed to help me get over it quicker.
I was okay. Wen it came to having haircut, after washng, i felt as thouit was ready come on. I was determined to get a handle on it. I ended up feeling very relaxed during my haircut! Theres some irny forwya lol!
I came away frm the experience feeling relaxf. I went into town meet a friend. I was ruming late late & startf to get stressy. Then, i reminded myself to rlow my breathing and not worry. I felt fine then. I exhilipated walking into town. Not something u'd expect to feel after a panic issue.
Two years ago i would have had to lay down somewiere. I would have panicked again having my haircv. I wouldnt have gone into town after.wi would have gone straight home, feling devistated! I feel as though i'm viewing my panic episodes differently. I certainly wish was over this. I wish it was no lnger in my life. Yet, i just care about panicking anymore. I'm of accepting if i panic, so be it. I just dont feel it worth me worying about
Am i really making progress, i wonfr.
