Hi, ive been agoraphobic for 2 years and had IBS about that long and more recently (about 3 months ago) i started being constantly pannicky, all day every day im on edge, shakey, heart palps, nausea, dizziness. I have the feelings alot of losing control and going crazy and feel detached from my body, my dr has prescribed me buspirone but so far hasnt helped much, only been taking it 3 days though so far. I have lost a 1st 7lbs in the space of the 3 months so am now only 8 st, find it difficult to eat anything and am currently thinking food intolerances are the cause of some of my anxiety and feeling sick.
My negative thoughts are mostly "what if i never get better" "what if i lose control and hurt myself or someone else" what if i have an accident" times going so slow, how am i going to make it through the day" "what if i have a panic attack" If im alone i know ill panic" "what if everyone leaves me" "what if CBT doesnt work"...and i dont know where to start challenging these thoughts. Everyday just seems to go so slowly, ill look at the clock and 10 mins has gone by and it feels like hours. Any advice on how to challenge these thoughts would be much appreciated
