exposure work
Hi all,
wanted to talk about my experience, my friends mother n law (a dear lady)
is in the hospital and I have been saying that I was going to visit her
but things kepted coming up so it kept being put off, well I told
my daughter that we were going today. I have been working hard on
my exposure sessions and have been doing well not even having anticipatory
anxiety, well last night I kept waking up and trying to worry, I kept pushing
it away and went back to sleep. this morning I woke up to worrying about going
even started having physical symptoms which I haven't had in awhile and it
got so bad that I told my hubby that I wasn't going to go but he said yes you are
that I needed to worry but do it anyway( I have such a great hubby!!) I went and even
though I had symptoms all the way their, I went and was glad I did! We had a nice
visit and even though I had the panic feelings before and during the visit I have to
say that I can have the panic and still do it anyway. I did feel good about myself
afterwords but I guess I still have some ways to go. just wanted to share thanks
for listening .
