    Yes if I get deleted it feels pretty awful so I know it’s wrong. Maybe I will have to add less? I did add a few recently and had no anxiety and suddenly the anxiety came back? My ocd has got worse lately as the topic is about cbt I was thinking now lockdown is being eased I may be able to return to the Cbt in person which would be good news? Before I said I couldn’t afford it however having saved during lockdown I could probably afford some cbt. But yes adding less friends may be the way forward

    My Ocd has flared up recently and it’s been a daily struggle. I am unsure why perhaps covid less on my mind but all my old worries seem to crop back up?

    Re: CBT update

    I have yet to get anymore CBT since the NHS is not offering any right now and the one I was going to never got back.

    Anyway my issue is when my ocd is more settled and not as bad my anxiety is worse. Past few weeks of months I have had awful worries of dying a horrible death or dying sometime soon. I believe this has triggered my anxiety where I feel tense restless headaches, spaced out, panicky, anxious and just sit thinking I am dying. I sit trying to do a relaxation but often it takes around one or sometimes hour to calm down..like I say the death anxiety has been a bit of a trigger I worry how one day you can feel fine but next day you could be ill? Can anybody give me any tips I am not sure if it’s the corona stuff on the news or just me in general feeling this way. Often I go through spells of daily anxiety for months how can I relax and see this is anxiety?

    My CBT update is

    I went for a session today but they never got back about another appointment after the free first session? Feeling a little downbeat

    My original therapist ignored my emails twice so also felt down beat about that. NHS is closed other than Covid not good.

    May have to look at online CBT or books again?

    They won't get back to you, you have to be proactive and contact them, you can't expect them to plan your recovery for you... you have to do that and ask them.

    Yes true only they said they would email a CBT worksheet and discuss next appointment but never did.

    Re: CBT update

    I’ve started reading the worry trick by David Carbonell. He takes an Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) alongside some CBT elements.

    I have done CBT in the past, private and group, and found it somewhat helpful. Carbonell, however, has been really helpful. Much of the CBT stuff focuses on challenging irrational thoughts and thinking patterns with evidence. But I’ve always been aware that my worries are predominately irrational and unsupported by evidence. Carbonell explains that this leads to us feeling like failures because we can’t control or stop this form of worrying. This really spoke to me, and I’ve been doing much better focusing on accepting my worries and not looking for solutions.

    Re: CBT update

    I got a call about therapy and they asked if I still wanted to be seen with long waiting lists for COVID I said yes I am guessing this is the nhs cbt I enquired about some time ago. I ruled this out as it was group cbt but they told me on phone it wouldn’t be group cbt so that’s a bonus so I said I could stay on the waiting list. It’s been around one year I have been on the waiting list though so no idea how long I would have to wait?

    You should have asked them that really, we don’t know your waiting times. It’s promising that you got a call though.
