Hi lissy, I'm another newbie who€™s just started Session One. Exciting, isn't it? Too new to advise on the diary entries, but I'm sure lots of others will.
Unlike you I get anxiety attacks at home, and one of the things that causes them is thoughts of going outside. Sometimes I master the fear and go, sometimes I don't €“ but Session One€™s right in that, when you don€™t, the relief is short lived. The most telling bit to me in S1 was Problem 3 - The more you fear and avoid, the less you like yourself. How true.
But that€™s why we€™re doing the programme, right? To beat it and control our lives?
Congratulations and good luck!!
