Monday morning.
Kinda anxious today. Slightly shaky. Head floating a bit. Nothing like it was before. On a scale on 1 to 10, Im about 4 right now.
During my haydays with the height of panic/anxiety, symptoms included shortness of breath. I have retrained my thoughts to breath normally and not hyperventilate (which was the cause of that problem).
I have to also be careful as I have a tendency to sigh a lot during panic. This may cause hyperventilation to sneak up on me.
My confession..........drinking. I made some homemade salsa this weekend. For those of you who frequent mexican restaurants, what happens when the waiter brings you salsa and chips? You guessed it, a bottle of corona, or tecate. It was a major trigger for me.
Another contributor to panic/anxiety can be spicy foods. Yep, my salsa was spicy as all get out. Made with ground habanero peppers. Alcohol, spicy food, a double whammy!!
Not feeling very productive today. Better break out my itinerary and get busy getting thru my to-do list.
