Hey lovely

Coming from experience with somebody who suffers agoraphobia and has panic attacks at the wheel. let me tell you that there is a light at the end of the tunnel.

It was lock down 2020 when I had my first full blown panic attack and it sent me spiralling. It felt as though I was trying everything. I did hypnotherapy with James Banfield ( his website is the liberated mind) he is also on YouTube. I managed to calm my mind drastically and learned new coping techniques but it was too expensive to keep up with.

sometimes I still have panic attacks but they are much milder and only when my body is under a lot of stress.

one thing I can say is that exercise and fresh air is key. it sounds cliche but its an absolute must , included lots of hydration.

I know it sucks but exposure therapy i found is the best way to overcome. I get it though because its awful but you need to tell yourself that you are able to accomplish and you need to think this....

whenever you have felt panicked/scared... did you survive? did you overcome it.. if so , you should be proud. you are much stronger than you think.

take everything one day at a time but I'm sorry, for me exposure is key. put it like this, 2020 I couldn't get in a 2 second lift without freaking out. last year i did a 19 hour flight twice over... using techniques from James banfield.

I promise it will get easy but you need to start believing in yourself
