Hi all
My current issue is that I need to have an endoscopy after a recent issue. I have posted on the relevant page when I signed up.
I realise it is just an uncomfortable procedure but just seem to be going into panic mode.
I am now practising my relaxation techniques and positive imagery. The appointment could be ages away as it is not an emergency so I have plenty of time to practice.
In the past I have beaten social anxiety and phobias.
The most recent fear was swimming in a lake as I hate fish. So I decided to make friends with the fish by calling them names like Terry the trout, Clive the cod and picturing cartoon like fish. It was really successful, I want to see a fish now. Unlikely though as they keep away from us swimmers lol.
Another thing I have beaten is eating chocolate so much it was more of a compulsive disorder. I got a Book on self hypnosis and it really worked. Best £6 I have ever spent. Saved £100s from not eating choice.
No need reply to this post as I am already on my way to a positive out come.
