Welcome Michelle, your difficulties sound very familiar to me. Isn't it a relief to know that there are so many of us (and I'm sure FAR more out there who haven't discovered UKPT yet); that knowledge in itself really helped me. The workshop was a great help, mainly in being able to be open about it with others who understood. Since then I've made steady progress, the level of anxiety has definitely lessened and I've had several successes in difficult situations (like a camp site with flimsy partitions that end 8 inches from the floor) often with the aid of writing texts on my phone) though still there are times when I can't cope, but I work hard at not hanging on to them and focussing on my improvement. Just thinking of all the others struggling with the problem really helps. So very best wishes to you. Finding UKPT will be the start of a new way of looking at the problem, or perhaps more importantly at yourself. Most people have some phobias and anxieties, it's just that ours is around a subject that's embarrassing, so we find it hard to talk about.
