Title: Feel like I can't breathe
Post by: Tacey on November 08, 2012, 09:57:43 AM

There is no point to this post.  I just need to get it out!  I'm waiting for a telephone assessment which is in 5 minutes, and I am so panicky I think I might faint.  How on earth am I going to answer the call?  I am counting the seconds, then telling myself not to be so daft, she won't call on the stroke of ten, and that thought makes it worse.  I can't get my breathing under control at all.  Why can't I just answer a bloody phone call?!

All done!  50 minutes talking to a very lovely therapist, and I'm going to get CBT.  I feel like I'm on my way to getting my life back.

Need to calm back down again now!

I read your post and made a fist and said "Yeay" out loud and my 2 year old copied me!

I'm glad that things are starting to happen for you and I hope you are on the mend soon. I'm glad the therapist was nice

 =+- Toddlers are great aren't they?  Thanks for thinking of me.  I'm a bit scared that I'm going to have to stop wallowing, and face my issues, but it's exciting to be on that path.
