Sorry in advance if this post gets a bit long.😬😂
I'm finding myself getting into an episode of anxiety at the moment and I can't seem to put my finger on why. Twice this week, I've woken up and had a huge panic attack, heart racing, feeling breathless, chest /abdominal pain, horrible feeling of doom etc. I'm pretty sure this is from a couple of weeks ago when I had horrible gum pain at night on holiday in EuroDisney, after eating the most sugary ice cream ... the pain was awful and felt never ending. I didn't sleep well so consequently it made the last day of our stay not as enjoyable 😞
Then a couple of days ago, I had a horrible pain in my big toe after a day walking and shopping. It's gone now thank goodness, but it was throbbing at night again, and I think the anxiety of not sleeping because of the pain became a vicious circle.
Anyway. After all this, I've felt jittery this week, being silly about minor things and have a constant feeling of worry I can't shake off.
I've had a breakdown years ago so I know how debilitating it is, and need to stop this before it spirals.
Any tips/breathing exercises etc please?
