Worst Panic Attack I Have Had Yet.

[Deleted member 26314]

Thank you, I have gotten a bath in place of a shower today which went okay. I'm going to have to shower tomorrow though as I know I can't avoid it. I've spoken to my boyfriend and had a long hard think about my options and what alternatives there are, but considering the fact I don't have any I can pull off, he's encouraged me to get a shower and as soon as I start to feel dizzy or even a bit ill, to get out and sit down and try divert my attention. It might work, I'll let you all know. But considering the fact I don't have a full on flashback where I end up being restricted physically (hard to explain), I can still move and think (to some degree) and so getting out of the shower, wrapping up in a towel and focusing on something might help lessen the effect. I don't think I'm going to be able to avoid it for a while, until the underlying issues are worked out, but this could work. I'm half excited and half terrified to try it.

I hope you find a solution xena, have you tried speaking to someone about this?

I didn't want to hijack your thread. I appreciate you asking. My therapist knows its been an ongoing battle. I don't really know how to fix it. Thanks for asking. I hope you continue to find a way out.
