off for my first session of cbt today feeling very scared as it's the first time I have left the house on my own in months and have to drive in to town and then park up and walk to the place .. Upset tummy already really not what I needed today . Hope I cope ok :-(
Hi, good luck hopefully this will help you. ill keep my fingers crossed for you. Xx
Thank u Sally x
doing great to get out and go to it, let us know how it goes
It's gona be really hard :-( thank u will do x
Hi domdomz, Although I can really appreciate what a massive challenge this is for you I suspect the rewards will be well worth it.Sometimes I find it hard just to go to the supermarket down the road so I greatly admire your courage and determination.I think the upset tummy is to be expected and anyone else in your situation would have the same.Each step you take ie, getting into the car, driving,parking etc is a massive achievement in its own right and you should be incredibly proud of each step that you achieve.I wish you the very best.Cheers from Rick
Thank u rich am just about to leave now head is all over the shop just hope I can hold it together enough to feel the benefits of the session .. Thank u for your thoughts
Good Luck and well done so far ... Let us know how you get on x

Hi guys it went ok cried a lot at first and found it very hard actually getting myself in the place as was finding it hard to breath but he was really doing another assessment said we will concentrate on cbt next time but that isn't until 16th so just gotta keep trying from here thanks for all ha support this morning really helped xx
you on meds also?
Yes mirtazapine although I don't like it the guy doing the cbt says u have to be careful with drugs and cbt as it works based on evidence and sometimes the drugs can fog that coz u think it's them that have made u cope not the strategies ..
