introduce myself

[Bunty]

Hi, I'm 37 and have had panic atacks since I was 18. Apart from visiting family I haven't socialised with anyone in 2 years. It's so horrible. I feel so isolated. I've tried hypnotherapy, CBT and EFT. They have all helped with my panic attacks but nothing seems to work with my social phobia. Not sure I can get myself out of this situation as, if I'm honest, I have no-one to talk to and no friends left as they basically gave up on me because I couldn't join them when they went out.

A big thankyou to the people who have left messages. I didn't think anyone would...
I need advice on where I can go by myself to meet people. I think it's impossible. To sit and have a giggle with someone would be wonderful.
I'm also desperate to get my hair cut but panic everytime I try to get myself in the hairdressers. I had a wonderful hairdresser that would come to my home but last time she visited I had a really bad dizzy spell and just can't face her at the moment.

Don't know if this will help but I have a woman that comes here to do my hair.

Mainly cos I have it coloured so it takes a lot of sitting around and secondly cos it is so much cheaper.

I explained to her that I suffer panic/anxiety so may have to stop at some point and take a break from it.

She was very understanding.

I, at least, felt better being in my own home having it done than in a salon.
