Hangover after anxiety exposure

Hangover after anxiety exposure

Hey All

I'm on my recovery journey from depression and anxiety was off work for a couple of months and have started to get back into it. Of course with that comes anxiety and I am really trying to follow the process of exposure to my triggers which unfortunately was basically everything related to work but have slowly been adjusting.

I did a big exposure last week which was a presentation to a preety big audience let's say 30-40 people over zoom.

I had the huge adrenaline rush and come down afterwards which I was expecting. However in the week following I have had increased generalized anxiety and had a really rough day yesterday in terms of spiraling thoughts. Today doing a bit better have been really trying to keep doing despite how im feeling.

Just wanted to see if anyone had similar experiences in there recovery journey

Re: Hangover after anxiety exposure

Yes @Jynx sorry I fell asleep last night, we had a chat this morning and yeah she said it's her way of managing and we cleared the air and had a good talk. I'm similar to you I need the closeness. Good to be back home. Return to work tommorow this is my longest break since I had a big chunk of time off for depression and anxiety earlier in the year which I'm nervous about but I think I'll be ok. Actually I know I'll be ok despite the feelings about it
