Is it worth it?
I'm working in baby steps on exposure therapy, but things don't seem to be getting any easier. I still get extreme anxiety when people get in my personal space. It's not getting any better even when I try to get out around people more and be in more social settings. Am I just not understanding things correctly? Do the disturbing thoughts never actually go away? Do you just learn to somehow "live" with them? If that's the case, I don't want to live. Learning to accept that I'll be tortured everyday isn't any kind of a life. So the bottom line is, do these obsessive thoughts and worries actually ever "go away" through therapy?
