I'm working on 5 things at the moment, I have more than one anxiety related problem, and i'm working on 3 of them, (agoraphobia, social phobia and my OCD).
I feel like it's too much and i've felt overwhelmed with it all this weekend. I've been low and on Friday I went for my usual walk and had a panic attack.
I had a think and thought if I could stop with one of the things i'm working on, then that might help. And I decided that the thing I'm doing to help with social phobia, the confidence course, it might help if I dropped that. It is the hardest thing i'm doing at the moment. I've been to the same place for another group and I'm always highly anxious when i'm there.
So I told my therapist that this morning. She is concerned if I drop that because she says I need to be in a social situation and also need to be working on independence. Both of which I would get from going to the course. And everything i'm doing at the moment, i'm working with someone.
So I'm confused. I felt that was the best thing to drop. Everything else I do I don't think I should drop and I can't think straight and don't know what to do. Does anyone have any advice they could give me?
Thank you,
Heather
