Hi all, I need some advice please.
A couple of weeks ago I was going through a very difficult time with family health problems and family commitments (check my other posts!) but I managed to cope and I did feel proud of myself.
I looked on the journeys that I was having to make as a challenge and every time I completed something I felt that I had made myself that little bit stronger.
I'm trying to figure out what has gone wrong in the past week or so, that I have regressed to the point that I am planning all my little local journeys down to the last detail and getting really worked up when I have to go anywhere. I'm avoiding the parts of the road that make me feel insecure (wide pavements and lots of traffic) and just basically don't want to deal with the syptoms that I know I'm going to have.
I'm suffering from light-headedness and the occasional giddy feeling and I'm not sure if this is the Agoraphobia or the high blood pressure that I have..
basically, I ain't doing so good! :blush:
I should probably go to the GP but I went to see him last time about severe swelling of my feet and ankles and he told me there was nothing he could do, he didn't even want to try a different medication. He made me feel like I was a waste of space. :weep:
Sorry, went off on a tangent there..I just need some reassurance that this regression is ok, that I haven't wrecked my chances and for someone to tell me why the hell it has happened. :mad:
Rant over. Thanks. :)
