Jenny - Module 8

I added another exercise on, like suggested, since it’s usually when I start to get hot and sweaty that my anxiety really starts to increase, because I think that the person will notice that I’m getting anxious. Some of these also were similar physically, but didn’t freak me out, because no one was around to see me and I knew I was bringing the feelings on myself.

Exercise	Symptoms Experienced	Intensity of Symptoms (0 – 10)	Intensity of Distress ( 0 – 10)	Similarity (0 – 10)

Breathing through a straw (0 – 120 sec)	Hard to breath, a little faint	7	3	2
Spinning while standing or sitting (60 sec)	Dizzy	8	6	6 - When they really get bad, I can get this way.
Running in place (60 sec)	Breathing harder, heart beating faster.	5	5	8 - I know this happens when I start to get anxious, but again, I was at home and safe and knew that it was happening because of what I was doing.
Sitting in front of a heater with blankets	Flushed and sweaty	8	4 - at home, but if I was at work it would have been 8.	6
