So being anxious to a point is ok but never being afraid is what you are saying right? The fact that I am anxious because its a new place and its a dentist on top of all that is ok and normal. If I let fear become my main focal point for this then it is going to end up in a disaster for me and another bad memory.I think I understand exactly what you mean about this. And just to let you know,the I want to mantra has really been helping a lot this week. I've started repeating positive things in my mind every morning when I'm exercising and I have been including my I wants in there along with listing all my good qualities and how I accept my agoraphobia and panic as a part of me but it is not all that I am etc...
You have some very good advice and lots of knowledge about this and its awesome being able to talk to you and learn new things. Thank you very much for always taking the time to explain things and reply to me. I appreciate it very much.
