I’ve had anxiety for years now
At the minute I’m dealing with intrusive thoughts really bad.
I worry about illness /death
I worry about all of the bad things that could happen
To a point I track my partner on the map for accidents when he’s driving
When my elderly dad is heading to town I will check the route for anything he might fall over.
I scan for body symptoms constantly and check for lumps (my mum passed when I was 14 from breast cancer )
Anyway I had my initial call today
He told me I would benefit from CBT
He told me the wait times was 92 weeks
I knew it would be a wait but that is crazy
He said “I think CBT would be helpful for your silly death intrusive thoughts”
So now I feel pathetic
I knew the thoughts were not normal but I don’t think il be able to speak to someone knowing it’s stupid.
I also have a choking fear.
i have bought a book called anxiety panicking about panic and im reading that
