One situation I'm afraid of is going to a salon for a hair cut. It's been over a year since I had a hair cut. I just wear a ponytail and forget about it. But, last week I walked into a no appointment place and got a nice cut that looks better and feels good. :)
Also last week, since I was on a roll, I made an apppointment for a massage at the hospital fitness center I belong to. This was my first one ever. My back and shoulders feel so much better. So awesome.
I grieve over all the years, months, days, times and moments I lost to panic disorder---I remember when I wouldn't drive if it was raining! Just rain would keep me at home.

... Lisa, I'm so happy for you :) What you've done is so like CBT and Exposure Therapy. Only difference is, you're working it out by yourself. I'm so proud of you. I grieved over my losses too but it passes soon after the realization and acceptance. Enjoy your new found freedom . . . hugs |

... That's something that's tricky for me too. I usually go first thing in the morning (walk-ins are welcome). I don't eat breakfast and take a xanax. I go with my hair washed and combed, so it's just the cut. I don't get them to style it, I go home and do that. I tell myself that if I feel sick, I can go to the bathroom if I need to. That it doesn't matter if I make a "scene". That has worked for me. |

... Loves October, I know exactly what you' re saying. I take a xanax beforehand. Getting into the chair and the cape tightened at the neck, and then awkward conversation. I remember back in the day, when it was hard to breathe with heavy hairspray and perms going on. Just never did like salons. |
