Losty... I can't give you any advice I'm afraid, but I am sending you positive vibes and ((((hugs)))). I am a fellow-sufferer (though perhaps less severely) and have had a lot of support on here over the months/years, so I didn't want to let your thread go by unanswered.

Lots of love and strength for tomorrow. I hope it helps, even if only in a very small way.

you're being very brave and clever by going for treatment. i don't know much about it but given that a phobia is by definition an irrational response to something that most people find okay, i bet you tomorrow night you'll be posting that it wasn't as bad as you'd feared... bet you Any Money. good luck, its exciting to think that you might be free soon.

thanks - I dont knopw whay I posted. In fact I thnk I shodl forget it. I dont talk abotu this. aaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrgggggggggggghhhhh but thanks for psoting

Well done losty! Will be thinking of you tomorrow x

aaargh. it's a good thing you're doing, you'll be fine, i bet you'll impress yourself.

thansk - I am sucha an idiot thogh

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgggggggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

You don't have to talk about it, and I won't post to ask how it went. But my thoughts will be going with you anyway. Might not help, but can't do any harm (unless I infect you with some of my phobias... Oh gawd, better not think about it!)

Hang on in there. Goodnight!

I posted on your thread I think last night califrau - what a pain, I would have felt very let down if it was me.

I am very embarrassed about starting this thread last night. As was perfectly apparent, I was drunk, and so my normal reserve and inhibitions had gone. Anyway, as I did start it, I will update.

The appt didnt go as I had expected. It took quite a while to fill her in on my situation (as it does with all the therapists/pyschs/docs I see) and after going through it all again, for the umpteenth time this month I was very drained. She then said that she was not sure that my phobia was the appropriate thing to tackle atm. So, after all the hype, and incredible nerves at getting there, we didnt even talk about it! (She did counsel me a bit on one of my inbuilt coping strategies, which I found hard and emotional, so I suppose it wasnt a total waste of an hour...).

Anyway, the long and the short of it is that I do not know if I can see her again. She has to discuss my case with her supervisor, and they will decide if it is appropriate to see her again.

So, I am back in limbo land. I cannot believe it can be so hard to get treatment.

I flit between being and and upset and about the whole thing. But, deep down I am just

wehy is it so difficult to get help califrau?? I eeven had to spell it fdor her today - doenst exaclty make me feel confident eh?
