That horrible stomach churning moment.

As much as I'm not a regular bus user would love to know why when I go on a bus usually with my kids,I get half way to where I want to be and my stomach starts to go weird,I sit there wanting to get off because it feels like my stomach is going to cause an embarrassing problem,I really hope starting cbt next week will give me ways not to think bad thoughts when I'm away from my home comforts x

Hi

I am sure the cbt will help with these feelings you have & teach you how to turn these negative thoughts which causes fear & anxiety into positive ones

I have a problem with waiting times , i have noticed I am ok , till without me even realizing it after 30 mins & its usually to the minute , if I havnt been called in some where like if I am at an appointment , I start to get a panic attack , I find it so weird as I am not even aware that its 30 minutes I have been waiting , yet it just happens !

Have you a lucky charm or something you could have in your hand so when you are on a bus you can play with it & it could make you feel secure , I no I wear a ring that gives me some comfort when I am out & I fiddle with that on my finger

Let us no how your cbt goes :)

Love

Hi thanks for replying it seems to be when I'm somewhere out of my comfort zone I tend to try and count in my head just anything to distract me from that feeling that I need to get off the bus and find a toilet lol.i do notice I shake my legs when I'm trying to distract from how I feel.once I'm home again I always feel like I've a achieved something coz I didn't give in and get off the bus,I know its mind over matter but it also can be scary when your whole thought process is making you want to do things.im looking forward to the cbt to hopefully find the root cause,because this came out the blue for me over a year ago and I know my past probably has a part to play in it,il keep you informed of my counselling.thanks again x
