Hi , I have lived with anxiety most of my life (I’m 47) through past therapies I have gained coping strategies … recently I experienced (what I didn’t know at the time ) a trigger and this caused a downward spiral to where I couldn’t manage to get the same relief from my go to strategies and did see a Dr (after cancelling a few times and feeling too anxious ) and I’m to have CBT in two weeks . I’m anxious even about that because I don’t know where to begin .. I don’t want to go all the way back to the beginning it’s too much . Hope this all makes sense. Trying breathing exercises 4 slow in nose ,hold for 7 and out mouth for 8. (4,7,8) easier to remember when I’m high anxiety symptoms. Dr put my also on wait list to assess for ADHD as he feels possible partial reason to anxiety symptoms, I don’t know why hasn’t it been picked up before now , what else ? Anyway that’s my now.
