It went well with the therapist thanks. I also have a phobia about escalators and I have two conferences to go to in London. So I needed to overcome it. I mastered going up after 4 goes much to my surprise. Next time I have to master going down which is far scarier.
I hate taking medication but I would not have been able to face my fears this time without medication. Seven weeks ago I was so very ill that I could not walk past the inside of my front door without having a panic atack. I also could not open the front door to any callers so I have not been able to order my wine for Xmas yet. With my small dose of medication I can face each of my fears without the fear going up to 10. In fact the fear is about three now - which is great!
Would it not be worth trying medication? It might make you feel a lot better.
I would love to see you well again and going out and enjoying yourself without fear.
My thoughts are with you
Love
Gladxxx
