Rough day ;)

Woke up at 7am because i had a rehearsal for a play im participating in , i usually dont bave stage fright but anxiety is making me panic about everything, eventhough , im still forcing myself to participate which is very scary

I started rehearsing at 7 and throughout the day i had alot of things to make me anxious, i hit my throat on something and i have been feeling very sore and short of breath , i then decided to exercise in the afternoon and after i finished i felt really anxious for some reason, maybe because my heart rate was high and i just felt really weird , and now im getting an anxiety attack baout these really busy and eventful few days , im forcing myself to participate in alot of thigs because i thought it would make me stronger mentally but im worried its too much pressure, i participated in a competition , a play and a bake sale , all within these 2 weeks

Wish me lick and give me advice if any

Kudos to you for being brave and getting out there! I found when I had my most serious breakdown years ago, getting better was a matter of finding a middle path through my fears. Obviously staying home or in bed wasn't going to make me better. But I also remember forcing myself to go on a long meditation retreat before I was really ready. I panicked and left early. After that, I introduced new challenges more gradually. I believe that's the path to getting better. You have to do it at the right pace for you, so you get stronger slowly without being overwhelmed. Pay attention to any warning signs, and make adjustments. Take care and be well.

Thank you for the support

After many months of work to reach a point where i felt remotely normal after so many months of severe uncontrollable anxiety and panic attacks. I had to make changes

The first thing was a complete physical and medical tests because i have a big fear of doctors which intensified after my anxiety started to worsen , and i started getting more confident as i got over my fears and started to get less frequent attacks.

Im getting very nervous getting ready for this play , and all the social events im attending and participating in but i forced myself and i know i will be happy to finish this best worst year with a complete change from when i entered it
