Any tips??

6 Replies

I’m going shopping with my partner in a bit, I used to love shopping but since having anxiety I always feel like Im going to pass out in shops now.

Can someone give me any tips on how to try and enjoy shopping or how to make the light headedness go away?

Breathe properly in through your nose 3 seconds and hold breathefor 2 seconds and exhale for 4 seconds this will reset your nervous system ALSO look for LAVENDER ESSENTIAL OIL its pricey but VERY EFFECTIVE place it under you nostrils and youll feel calm

Is it safe to tip a bit out and rub it just above my lip by my nose? Don’t want it to burn my face lol

I used to feel like that all the time. Peppermint oil helped a lot. Having a cart would help too. I would lean on it if I felt weird. Also reassuring myself that everything was ok and that I had felt like that before helped some.
