I have my second cbt session tonight. At the end of the first one she gave an exercise to practice whenever I feel anxious.
I am meant to write down the situation, how I feel emotionally & physically and how I act as a result.
I know it sounds stupid but I'm finding this really hard to do. Often I will be at work or somewhere with the dc's when I have a bad thought that makes me anxious and so it's not possible to just stop and write it all down.
But also I can't bear to analyse my thoughts like this as it makes me even more upset and anxious especially as alot of it is health anxiety.
Now I'm worrying about tonight's session as I won't have done anything.
Has anyone else felt like this? I feel like I've failed the treatment before I've even started.

Does anyone else find the CBT exercises hard to complete?
