Help finding suitable CB Therapist in Perth
Posted: Fri Apr 16, 2010 1:19 am
I have endured AP for over 25 years now and am very depressed about it. I have withdrawn from life a great deal. (People at work think I am strange, though nobody mentions the fact that I am never seen at the trough! I have become a master at avoidance! ). Somehow I have been quite successful at work and seem to offer value to my empoyers but I avoid going out to any functions etc. It is hampering my progress in the company as i don't push myself to do any courses etc that will put me in uncomfortable situations. I am a very shy person naturally and get embarassed easy, but get on very well with all at work. I take hope from the fact that it is possible to recover on your own as I find the thought of sitting in a room with others discussing this curse as overwhelming.
I feel like I am acting a double life at the moment as with my own direct family there is no problem. (I find it impossible to talk to my wife about it, yet we have been married for over 20 years). I also take my sons to sports events but avoid going to toilets even if I am bursting. I travel occasionally with work but find it impossible to void on a plane, or airport toilets, which raises anxiety levels greatly.
This is the first time I have ever admitted this to anyone so I suppose it is a start.
Does anyone know of a CB Therapist in Perth that I could contact, as I realise that I have to make a start.
Good luck everyone!
