Hope this is the right board to post on. I have Anxiety which mainly affects me eating and drinking infront of others - apart from my children and my mum. I tremble and feel like I'm going to wobble and spill my cup of tea or my food or choke and make a right mess. I hate being this way. I would like to Date again but it makes it very hard and embarrasing. To go out for coffee or meals even with people i know fills me with dread. Picking the cup up to my mouth or food to mouth shouldn't be so hard. I couldn't drink out of a little China cup infront of anyone other than my children. I can't go for afternoon tea with a friend. I don't want to take anti depressants for this. I have had cbt which didn't work she told me to accept me as I am - she said if I shake so what it's not the end of the world and if people did stare then there not worth knowing anyway. Anyone similar? Do I just have to accept this is me? Would medication make me able to drink/eat infront of people with no worries? Should I consider therapy again? Thankyou.
