Hello all. I posted about how NMP cured my Health anxiety.. it only took a few weeks to feel relief from it. Im now hoping I can be given some direction as to how gain relief from specific phobias/panic attacks
At the moment I find crossing bridges comfortably to be quite impossible.
If i am driving a car it is not such a problem but if i attempt to walk over a bridge(esp. a high bridge) I begin to feel
1. bodily weakness/vision changes
2. confusion
3. fear of passing out/ fear of being pulled from the ground (weird i know lol)
4. general awful bodily sensation (adrenaline)
I also experience this if i am in an open field or the beach or if i am in a very tall building. Also I feel the sensations much more on a clear blue day.
I know that exposure therapy is key for recovery but I find I am relapsing often. I will make great progress...skip 1 day and find i am nearly at square one the day after.
This situation is putting my life on hold and it is testing the patience of my amazingly patient wife.
I beg of anyone to give me a silver bullet(i know i know) or maybe a success story of their own??
thank you so much.. I am so grateful
