    Default Going back to dancing with anxiety...

    So, I have been a dancer for almost 7 years, with some well needed breaks.
    I had panic attacks 2012, together with GAD. It was a hard time, and this time I didn't dance. I got better and went dancing, doing better than ever.

    From 19 to 26 I have always been a dancer or camgirl when I needed a break from dancing.

    Some months ago I got sick again, a hard break up, pregnancy with abortion, and moving back to my country gave me heavy panic attacks. I am better now, and planning to start dancing again.

    Although, the idea of being on the stage scares me to death. I got my first panic attack dancing and had to escape the stage. I have been dancing in another country these years, but this panic attack was so strong my legs started to shake and I couldn't breath.
    I escaped to the dressing room and since half year I am terrified to dance again. One week later I moved back home to my country and had to start medicate with pills against anxiety.

    At the moment I'm camming, and it works okay but I can't let this one panic attack end my dancing career. I am scared that in two weeks when I'm moving back I will do my first dance and have another panic attack... Even though it's silly, I have been dancing on and off for 7 years and only once I got an attack on stage.

    I don't know if you ladies have any ideas? I miss my old life, when I was a happy dancer making money, confident on stage and always wanting to dance... Since half year I am scared to death to go on stage again and get a panic attack.

    I’m so sorry to hear this ���� <3 I would advise getting in the right mental state before stepping back into the club. Whatever you do to get your mind right do it! You don’t wanna start dancing and fall into some bad things or peer pressure from anxiety... once you feel more confident then try to audition.

    Hi, sorry to hear about this..
    Maybe visit a club w/a friend as customers, to get a feel for it?
    I myself am going back after a very long absence.
    Good luck, maybe read around the forums too

    What if you go back to a smaller club and slower shift, where there aren't a ton of customers, or pay to stay off stage for a while? At least until you get re-acclimated to the club environment. I find going back after a break of any length can be anxiety-provoking--so if you lessen the stakes when you're getting back in the game, that might help.
