Tomorrow's the day for my CBT "experiment" - go for either lunch or dinner with my wife. It has to be a restaurant, and not a fast food place (where I can get the food, and get back in the relative safety of the car). Facing two of my fears tomorrow!!
My wife will be looking forward to it - getting to go out with me, like a normal couple...
I'm supposed to not think about it, and try and just do it... but tonight I've already succumbed, and am starting to panic, and feeling really sick.
Maybe I should get drunk as I feel braver then, and my anxiety seems to ebb, but then that's cheating!
Can't think how I'm meant to "not" think about it, when it happens so quickly, and then it's too late, the seed it planted ...
