It's six months now since this developed, four weeks since I started CBT, four weeks since I upped the dosage of Citalapram. I saw my doctor once a month, I see my counselor once a week. Some days now are good but some days out of the blue, it just hits me. And I'm exhausted with constantly dealing with it. When will it go away? If ever?
Specifically I have developed a teeth phobia. I believe that my teeth will fall out and that if I use them less, I will keep them for longer. I either don't eat, or I only eat soft things which I don't have to chew. Every time I need to eat is a battleground with myself and it's just exhausting and overwhelming.
I'm thrown off today as for the last six months I've sat on my own in the office but this morning someone has been moved to sit next to me. I find this a big problem as I don't like eating in front of people. I went to get some lunch but on the way back was so overwhelmed with an image of biting into it and my teeth falling out that I had to stop and stay out of the office for a little while longer whilst the panic subsided. Now I don't want to eat, but I am hungry.
Has anyone else had similar? Is there anything else I could or should be doing? I just want it to stop
