Hi everyone
I am sat here totally scared to death. I came home from work early because i started panicking in work.
I was sat at my desk feeling fuzzy headed, faint, sick, shaking. All the usual crap.
I went home and being on my own my head started going crazy and i was writhing around in bed panicking, gagging, crying, shaking and planning my suicide.
I'm not gonna tell you the whole story as it's too long but basically i had my worst panic attack whilst at the dentist. This developed into some screwed up phobia of my own teeth.
Lately i have been doing well. I have been telling myself my teeth/phobia has nothing to do with my panic attacks. I have been feeling very much less anxious trying to dissasociate my stupid thoughts from panic attacks and then today this happens.
I feel like everything i have done to get better is undone and now i'm back to being how i was before.
I don't know what started it today. Think i had a slight toothache and it started everything i had been drinking the night before. I know that contributes to anxiety big time.
What should i do? I never expected the attacks to go away but why after trying to condition myself into thinking another way did my brain start thinking of my original fears?
I'm so frightened. How much more can i do for myself???
I just wanna stop being afraid of the dentist/toothache.
Please help
