And today it happened again - had to face one of my biggest fears. 🐝 On my way home from work, a wasp flew at me which immediately triggered my fear, and the intrusive thoughts started with - What if it stings me? What if I have another allergic reaction again? Before I knew it my anxiety was trying to take over. But it took me around 15 mins to calm myself down in metro. Usually I get stuck in those thought loops for over 30 mins (can’t relax in public transport) and it often ends with panic attack. Today I was able to recognize what was happening, work through it and gain control much faster. I am grateful for this amazing community and thanks for all the support I have received 🌸
