hi everybody, just a quick thing for everyone. There is hope for everyone on here just be strong. I suffer with health anxiety and social anxiety.
Today I had loads of things to do outside not in my comfort zone. I had to take my wife to our local shopping centre loads of people there. We needed to get some passport pictures for her. So we got into the car. I was still feeling very unwell lightheaded a bit wobbly on my feet, but I got her there, but it was hard going. When we got home, my wife had to fill in some forms, so she done that then we had to take them to our local library. Another big issue for me back in the car up to the library when I got out of the car and went to the library loads of people I'm talking about 75 to 100 people standing outside I pushed past them and said to the lady what is happening, she replied the fire alarm has gone off. That's why everyone is evacuated the building. Bugger. I thought I said to her. Can you take this form in for me she replied yes. I was so glad she said that. Anyway got in the car. I had to walk 400 yards to the car. Wife told me the chemist and just phoned her up and told her her tablets was ready bugger. Where will we end. By this time my head is still spinning feel very anxious, but got to the chemist, which is about a mile away I went in and got her tablets and guess what they wasn't ready instantly bugger again could feel myself sweating, heart racing. The usual stuff anyway got the tablets and went home my wife praised me up for doing such a hard task and it was hard, but I'd done it. So this is just a quick thing saying to everyone out there keep going, keep being strong and hopefully we will all get through this. Anyway going to go now see if I can calm down a bit. Still shaking take care everybody.
You got through alot👏I wouldn't even be able to be around the people in the library. Good you did it👍 Sounds like what I go through. Heart racing, hands sweating, mind is racing, I just want to get out of place, I do Inside I'm having a panic attack on the oustide people can see me go pale and I seem tense and mad. I'm not mad just feel desperate to get out of public places and go home. I feel relaxed being in the car knowing we're leaving but still not completely fine until I'm inside my house. You did it even though I don't know you I'm proud of you. I know how hard it is to do these things. Take Care🙏Hope you feel better.💖
Wow 😳 well done Shaun, that is one hell of a lot outside of your comfort zone you achieved even if you were feeling anxious 😩
You should be so proud of yourself!
It does take it out of us when we push ourselves.
Today I caught the bus into town had a look round, did a bit of shopping and caught bus back by myself, completely out of my comfort zone too!
We're going on holiday next week, it was booked before I hit crisis point 6 weeks ago, I'd never of agreed to go if I knew I was going to be in crisis a few weeks later!
We have to do these things I guess to see if we can!
