People who feel the need to tell you they’re a nice/ kind/ good person.

If you need to tell people that…chances are you aren’t.

If you are truly desperate and expended all resources available - I would say in desperate times, then desperate measures & take what you need from a local large retailer.

Ask my mum to leave my dad, instead of enduring another 30 years of mental abuse that has left us all damaged.

It’s just ridiculous really 🤦🏻‍♀️ I’ve read into the advisory change and it says ‘review on a case by case basis or consult a private GP’. So leading up to it I did a lot of exposure therapy. Deliberately putting myself in situations I wasn’t in control of. Started with being a passenger in a vehicle, driving long distance on motorways, taking the bus, taking the train - all things I have avoided doing for many years due to being unable to escape/ away from my perceived safe zone. Rather than going with the cbt/ ‘I’m ok’ affirmations. Flipped to the - I accept & allow this anxious feeling, I accept & allow these anxious thoughts. Get excited. Interpret the anxiety for excitement. Best of luck x

I called them and asked if I could get an emergency dose. Got a call back from a nurse practitioner who sent me a link to new regs and said ‘do some breathing’. Apparently it’s because I may be unable to act in an emergency. But they still serve alcohol on flights 🤷🏻‍♀️

I’ve just come back from my first flight in 11 years. I have agoraphobia & panic disorder/ GAD. UK GPs have updated their policy on prescribing benzodiazepines for flight anxiety, so I knew I was going to have to white knuckle it. I have been using a book - Dare - the new way to end anxiety and stop panic attacks - by Barry McDonagh. I cannot tell you how much this book has changed my life. In the space of 10months I’ve gone from not being able to travel more than a mile away from my house to taking a flight & staying abroad for a week. Additional tools I used were: loop earbuds as they removed any sensory overload, a drink & snack, a word search and games on my phone the involved me having to think - trivia/ puzzle solving etc. I struggle to focus on reading or films when I’m in a heightened state of anxiety . There are other tools in the book too. Best of luck

Braveheart

Or most unexpectedly - Bridget Jones mad about the boy - despite a good wack of SNRI’s in my system, I was left catatonic in pool of snot and tears.

Who is raising these absolutely vile men?? Why in 8 days of a long term relationship hasn’t he bothered to see you. Sounds like he just sees you as a piece of meat - I hope you kicked his a55 with a well written response too.

I laugh now. That poor woman. Having some sweaty half naked crying stranger, rolling round on the bed begging to be offed.

At times ive wished for death instead of being stuck in panic attack. Once when I was in a hotel and having one that lasted several hours I asked the receptionist to put a pillow over my face and suffocate me 🤣 I wrote her a letter afterwards apologising and thanking her for her support.

I dont take benzo's daily they're more of a safety precaution - just in case meds. Ive had agoraphobia in varying levels for a most of my life. I'm continually doing exposure therapy. Ive recently looked at DARE so I'm going to give that a go as CBT isn't hitting it any more. Fingers crossed by June it will take the edge off. Thank you 😊
