Not sure if many emets that are recovering still drop by, but just in case.
By and large, CBT was a resounding success for me; I no longer feel panic with regards to other people being unwell and when I'm not feeling unwell, I don't even think about becoming ill.
However.
All it takes is a deep growl in my belly or a particularly forceful burp for me to be almost crying and automatically doing safety behaviours.. I'm fine until nausea washes over me, then all I can think is 'please don't let this be happening'. The panic is overwhelming.
Has anyone ever experienced particularly tough 'mental road blocks'?
