I am trying to desperately to overcome my agoraphobia by going out 3-4 times day. Every morning on my way to the shop I see this old man on an electric scooter. As I turn the corner I see him coming doen the street towards me I get the horrible thought that I am going to attack him.
This morning I was running late so went out with my cuppa and as I turned the corner I saw the man coming down the street and I was terrified because I had thoughts about scoulding him and then beating him up!
The harming thoughts started to settle down a while ago and now they seem to have come back worse than ever. I suffered from monophobia (fear of being in alone) because I was scared of losing control and hurting my son. I have overcome the monophobia now but fear that it may return because of the harming thoughts again.
Has anyone got any advice on how to deal with this please???
Take Care
