I’ve been avoiding going out for walks alone because I think I might have a panic attack or feel physical symptoms so today I pushed myself to run an errand by foot instead of going in the car. I did a whole 16 minutes walking on my own! I generally felt okay, some mild physical symptoms popped up, I felt some dizziness/fuzziness, air hunger and my pulse went higher. I reminded myself I’m exercising so it’s okay my pulse is going to be higher. Has anyone got any tips on exposure therapy? I felt like I weren’t uncomfortable enough and didn’t navigate my thoughts in the right way to of made a difference to what I was trying to achieve.
