Hi all! :)
Since getting frequent levels of high anxiety and panic attacks I've managed to control some symptoms to a certain degree. My main issue at the moment is that my legs go very weak, numb and I can't walk properly. If I can sort this out, I feel like I'll have my panic attacks under more control.
My panic attacks involve me needing to go into a toilet, as I have the urgent need to go and that has taken me 14 weeks to get to a very manageable level. But before, if I was stuck in a toilet, outside of home, the fear of not being able to walk back because my legs won't work properly scared me, and that fear is still there even if I have the toilet part under more control.
I will admit that the whole wobbly legs thing used to happen when I was younger and had panic attacks (breathing, need for the toiler wasn't there though), so I thought that if I can at least do some strength training to build up confidence with my legs??
Any techniques or any advice would be appreciated :flowers:
