Hello everyone,
I suffer from panice attacks. It starts when I worry about the future. When I have anxiety, the panic typically follows, and I don't have anything to worry about, but I just worry, my cup overflows, and a panic attack begins!
For instance, I am going to a baby shower on Sunday, and because I have been super anxious, I keep thinking that i'm going to have a panic attack while I'm there because I'll be out of my element... Let me explain one thing, I am usually super comfortable in most situations. You could take me anywhere and I'd be fine!
I am really sensitive to change, and I recently started a promotion in work which has been causing the anxiety. Does anyone have any tips on how to avoid feeling panicy pre-baby shower? I know that panic is just adrenaline and I have to tell myself that I am ok, and I will do fine, but as we all know it's easier said that done.
The LAST thing I want to do is avoid situations because of this. Can anyone help? Thanks, and I hope you are all well!
ps... I have a blog that has chronicled my struggles with OCD and anxiety, it's called lollyshope.blogspot.com. Follow if you'd like, hope to hear from you soon!
