I’ve been going to my therapist for about 10 months now, I started going due to bad generalized anxiety and some panic attacks, and it went really well until about February where I had a severe panic attack on my way to the therapist, and in the waiting room. I was okay for a bit but recently I am getting extremely anxious before and during my sessions, it’s hard for me to concentrate and talk about things because I’m so anxious. I had a small panic attack during my last session and it seems to be getting worse. I can’t go without my heart rate going through the roof and constantly worrying. I seem to be fine outside of therapy, my anxiety is very very minimal until my session…. I think my brain has associated therapy with feelings of anxiety. I feel like I need to stop but then I’m letting my anxiety win, but I’m starting to dread going.

My most common allergy symptom, which is almost year round for me, is sinus aching above and around my eyes and in my upper jaw. This causes brain fog, can slightly affect vision, and I even have issues with my ears like them going muffled and ringing occasionally and them popping loudly when I swallow. I also have almost 24/7 post nasal drainage. I never get sinus infections, it’s just constant aching and pressure. I do get the occasional sneezing which is almost the only time my nose runs. There is times when this aching and pressure is worse, like spring and fall. Anyone else have similar symptoms?
