I think I’m having an attack. I got up and everything was all woozy and I’m scared I’m gonna die. I got a cold wet towel for my face and it’s easing up but I’m so scared. why.. why.. why.... I’m shaky. Everytime I get ready to go somewhere I freak.

Your anxiety has ramped up into a panic attack. These can be a single episode or develop into something more problematic. Mention this to your doctor for the record. My psychologist reminded me that this state of high anxiety can only last 20-25 seconds before the body needs to reset. Obviously the time seems irrelevant when you are in the midst of feeling so wobbly. Just to let you know it's kind of like surfing. 🏄‍♂️Anxiety is like a wave building into big wave for suitable to surf. You get on the wave at it's peak. The power of the wave takes you to the beach where it breaks and it rolls gently into the sand.

Ty that’s a really nice way of looking at it.. I washed my face with cool water and forced myself to continue with my plans and go grab lunch. I wasn’t alone so I had to play it cool.. 🥵
