Hello, I think this is my first post (sorry, terrible memory),
but I was just wondering if anyone has any advice on it?
I've been forced to go for other reasons (SA is just a part of it)
but I'm finding it soo difficult!
I've only been to a few meetings for it but every time I get so anxious and I can feel myself shaking/going red/sweating etc...
and I can't even say anything. :afr
I don't know where to look in the room... I haven't yet made eye-contact with the doctors, one of the times that I went I just stared at the door constantly but they kept asking me why I was looking at the door and whether I was worried about the people outside (I think that may have had something to do with wanting to run out of there as fast as I could lol).
I have less than a week until the next appointment. :|
It doesn't make sense to me!
Why make someone who is afraid of talking, talk?
I actually feel as if my anxiety has been getting worse since I've been going. If anyone has any advice, please let me know.
I'd appreciate it so much.
:stu
Even worse, apparently I have to interact with other people at some of these "therapy sessions" :hide I don't know what to do! I have no choice in going, I'm more or less being forced. Please help anyone?
