Hello. I'm new to this forum, but I could sure do with some advice and support!
I had a panic attack yesterday - the first one for 2 years - and it scared the living daylights out of me. It was at work. Its always work that stresses me out. I'm a lawyer and some days I feel I can do the job and some days I am just filled with the most awful doubts and fears and just want to run away. 2 years ago I had a breakdown through stress with full blown panic attacks - the works. Now I fear that I am going down the same road again. I don't know what to do. I wonder if I should get a less pressurised job, but then I get the feeling that I would find something to panic about in everything!!
I hate how I feel at the moment. Everyone on the outside says I'm doing great, but on the inside, I'm a jibbering wreck. And I know its a spiral thing that the more I worry, the less I talk to people about my worries, the more I try to cover up, the worse it gets, until I do make an error or upset someone. I wish more than anything that you could buy confidence pills on the NHS!!!!
Anyway, I'm determined to get back on track again and was thinking about hypnotherapy. What do people think about hypnotherapy?
Any other good quick fixes to help me face work tomorrow?
