Panic attacks and nervous system dysregulation?? 🥺
Does anyone have any tips on how to regulate the nervous system from “fight or flight” mode and how long would it take? I think my panic attacks came from burnout, pushing myself past my limit. Constant timing in my ears. Over stimulated.
When I’m grounded in nature on my day off, I feel better when I’m surrounded by loved ones I feel safe. But when I drive to work and I’m working all day, the panic and anxiety and breathlessness kick in. I already took days off of work and cut back on my schedule, but I read it can take 3 to 6 months sometimes longer to regulate the nervous system after burnout.
Unfortunately, I work in a hair salon blow dry bar, so I’m booked and busy every 30 minutes with a client in my chair. and we don’t get benefits of taking a leave of absence. I had an emotional breakdown last week at work. I spoke to my boss, she’s very compassionate, but my schedule is fully booked. I just would like to know how to heal so I can get back to normal.
Any advice will be really helpful.
