Looking for some ideas from people with a similar situation or any ideas on therapy or medicine.
About 4 months ago I had a panic attack while up in the bucket holding back primary wire so we could set a pole. I’ve been doing this for 13 years and never had an issue before I end up in the hospital the best day because I thought I was having a heart attack.
While I was in the bucket nothing crazy or unexpected happened different than normal. Just a normal day until I started to feel like a way having a heart attack. Arms weak legs weak and feeling like I was going to pass out.
I took a whole week off work and since that day I still have a crazy fear or holding back wire and being “stuck” in a situation where I can’t really escape. I can literally go up and do everything else normal. But as soon as I try to untie wire and have to actually hold it in the jib the feeling comes back and I feel another attack coming on. I’ve tried several times to just overcome it. And I literally can’t make myself do it. It’s terrible and making me hate my job that I used to love. I’m on a type of anti anxiety medicine and a beta blocker. But still having issues. Any help or advice is appreciated

Edit to add - I’ve been in weekly therapy since the first panic attack 4 months ago. And have seen a Psychiatrist and several other doctors trying to figure this out. Also I have started doing more cardio at the gym. I try to make it to the gym 6 days a week. There is nothing I’m not willing to try to get back to being “normal”
