Therapist

Went to see Elaine today (my therapist - as she likes to be called) for my assessment DH bless him, came with me and sat in with the consultation.

She wants me to put myself into positions that cause me anxiety or stress, and to keep a diary of the situation, my feelings and rate it out of 10. She will then have a better idea of what things cause me to panic.

She did remember me from last time, but I did point out, that I felt it didnt help much but I really do want to sort it out.

I explained how I have isolated myself from my friends, how I am unable to go out on my own, and how I avoid situations. Avoidance is probably made things 10 times worse.

I am seeing her in a fortnight.
