Just when you thought it was safe.......... Went to see an old friend today at a pub I'd last met up with him when I was previously ill (4 years ago), been feeling on top of my anxiety. Pulled on yo car park and remembered a few things and that last time there was ill, no probs, walked in saw somewhere where I'd had an anxiety attack, met friend who had a glass of wine (I've been on the wagon 4 weeks), alcohol been a contributory factor this time and had an anxious day yesterday over it..... Then bam anxiety attack and at that point I'd not put two and two together so my head goes spinning thinking I was now experiencing anxiety attacks whilst out and about...managed to compose myself and it clicked why but by then the old head had put the notion in my head that I was going to become agoraphobic . Been in a mess for rest of afternoon and needed a diazepam to calm down after a few hours.
Truing to remind myself that I've not gone back to square one as been doing so well this week and getting confidence back
