I feel a bit bad

Lounge

I have this friend.

I keep saying I will meet him on this and that day.

Then 40 percent of the time, I cancel because of social anxiety nearer the time :flushed:

I need to stop this bad habit NOW.

I will tell him tomorrow that I prefer we don’t arrange things until nearer the time.

This way, I won’t feel bad anymore, and he won’t feel disappointed, demoralised about my cancellations.

What are your bad habits and are you trying to change them or let it be?

I had social phobia comorbid with schizophrenia. EMDR therapy for social phobia helped me a lot. I recommend it to you.

So EMDR involves moving the eyes a certain way in order to speed up trauma healing?

That’s definitely interesting. I don’t understand it but I’m glad it helped you a lot.

I could mention it to my doctor the next time I see them…

Give it a try! Bilateral stimulation can be with eye movements or with music with bilateral sound. In my case the second one worked.

My trauma is so bad I don’t know how I will ever forget it.

But I’ll keep this in mind out of curiosity.

@Zoe i cancel on my dad and mum sometimes and it makes me feel really bad but they understand my anxiety. I think leaving plans until last minute is less anxiety inducing, less time to build up the anxiety, yeah thats a good idea :bulb:

Yea u understand it.

It really is anxiety inducing, it’s better to be a bit more spontaneous with meet ups.

I just told him now and he agrees.
