Exposure therapy on train

[Eva May]

Getting on train in half an hour for less than 10 mins (I hope) and my stomach won't settle down. Hate exposure therapy :mad:

How did you cope Eva May? Hope you were ok.
:yesyes:For atleast trying.

Oh christ that was hard haha. Worst part was the anticipatory anxiety, had a headache and sore stomach but once I sat on the train it calmed down. Had a few moments where could feel it rising again but it didn't :) going to try do that every week now and the only thing I can see setting me back is if it stops between stations for some reason, then I'll freak

Well done Eva May!! I always find the run up to anything I'm unsure about is worse than actually doing it.

I am currently trying the exposure therapy on the train aswell and the thing that scares me the most is it stopping in between stations I am fine when it's moving and at stops hopefully we will all be able to over come this if we keep telling ourself even if it stops nothing can happen that's what I keep doing :) xx
