So I am currently at my therapy appointment I had to wear my work outfit to my therapy session. I find it have it in the morning I find I have a better day. Ashley: Sam when you booked appointment I knew it was important as it's your second one this week so has something happen? Me: I had a panic attack at work my fiancé calling me darling, it was the first time someone called me darling since I was kidnapped by Toby Ashley: okay that is understandable there is some methods you can take to handle these attacks would you like to know how? Me: yes please Ashley: Okay there are five tips I can give you; 1. Use deep breathing; while hyperventilating is a symptom of panic attacks: if you are able to control your breathing- you're less likely to experience the hyperventilating. So focus on your deep breaths in and out through your mouth allowing air to slowly fill your chest and belly and then leave again. Breathe in for a count of four, hold for a second and then breathe out for a count of four. 2. Recognised that it's a panic attack and that it's temporary and it will pass and that your safe and ok 3. Picture your happy place: what's your most relaxing place in the world; picture yourself there and try to focus on the details as possible. This place should be quiet, calm and relaxing such as a sunny beach with gently rolling waves. 4. Keep lavender on hand: lavender is known to be soothing and stress- relieving. It will help your body relax, out it on your hands, forearms and breathe in the scent. You can also try drinking lavender or chamomile tea as they are both relaxing and soothing. 5. focus on an object: Some people find it helpful to find one single object to focus all of your attention on the object. Try to not everything about it.
Me: Okay thankyou I will try those tips.
*Then the timer went off*
I stood up and she said "Sam he cannot get you, your fiance will keep you safe no matter what." I looked at her and said "yeah these are just the steps to recovery. I'll see you next Wednesday." "Alright see you then Sam." I slowly walked with my moon boot to the car parked out on street. Once I got out there I saw Hero leaning against my car and I grab hold of his hand said "What are you doing here?" " hmm I thought I could take you out for breakfast but also I need to talk to you about something." "um okay, is it serious?" "its has to do with our future. Can I drive?" "hmm yeah sure, where are we going for breakfast?" "The breakfast Club Soho" "ooh I love that place." "hmm I know you do , lets go aye." He opened the door for me and then I hop into the car and then he shut my door and hop in the other side, I handed him the keys and I didn't take the mustang today I took the range rover instead. I wanna buy some things for the apartment today.
Once we arrived at breakfast.. I opened my door and got out and met Hero on his side and grab hold of his hand and said "I am going to be okay. I love you and thank you for always staying by my side" " I always will be baby girl." we walked into the cafe and instantly st down in a booth. we looked at the menu and I ordered pancakes and berries and Hero got the full Monty, we both got a latte to go with it but instead he got almond milk in his which I think is gross but aye its fine.
