public situations??
Posted , 8 users are following.
I am curious and I would like to hear and maybe learn from how do you cope with anxiety or pannic attacks in public spaces( supermarkets , travelling on busses etc)
I used to manage it well but lately I'm lacking of skills which makes me agoraphobic

The anxiety is a reaction to a negative thought but them thoughts are also a off shoot of anxiety. I tell myself that yes the anxiety feels uncomfortable but it can not physically stop me from putting one foot in front of the other and walking out the door. I also tease myself with the thoughts(kind of like exposure therapy),I lay on my bed and get myself relaxed then purposely bring the thought that bothers me to the front of my mind,allow it to be there,allow myself to think it and I always find that I don't have no reaction and fear of it!!
So then when it comes automatically throughout the day I can easily brush it of and think...this is just a thought created by anxiety..live already dealt with it when calm and I'm cool with it xxx

Will probably go on medication as I tried to avoid them.

I have suffered with social anxiety disorder for a year and something. I was desperate because I couldn`t function at all...I didn`t get out much, been scared all the time couldn`t go by gtube, bus, couldnt go shopping, couldn`t talk with people without beeing terrified... I was so afraid of everything that I couldn`t go to the doctor either...I have finally decided to see a hypnotherapist...went 5 times, and now I am normal again, and to be honest a few months ago I really didn`t think I will be normal again...so if you can afford it go for it..make sure you get an experienced hypnotherapist...good luck...
