Hey there,
I'm about at my witts end, and thought my fellow salon geeks could perhaps shed some light on what I'm going through.
I just opened my esthetics shop in the lower level of a hair Salon in March. While on vacation in Mexico, I had my first panic attack in February. I had them frequently for a month after that, mainly at places I felt "trapped" into not being able to leave. Restaurants, hanging with friends etc. I now started getting them with clients. My clients are my everything...this part of my life that keeps me excited and passionate and thriving, has now left me feeling defeated and dreading going into my shop. I will add they were random until my auntie committed suicide a month ago. Since then they are almost every day. My hands start shaking, I cannot catch my breath or focus on what the client is telling me or what I am to say next. It is humiliating.
Has this happened to anyone? What did you do to get through it...
Thank you everyone!
