Hello @outlander, I don't know how long blood tests take. What I meant by facing more than 2 fears, was all the everyday ones you face - for instance, just getting in to see the Doctor. Hope that explains it better 🙂

Well done on facing your fears @outlander. One of my favourite phrases in the DBT skills manual is "avoid avoiding". I tell myself that a lot when I am anxious about doing something, and I find that it actually does make me feel much better to get in and do the thing I fear rather than sitting around feeling anxious about it. PLUS, after doing the scary thing, I get the super nice empowered feeling. I hope you are feeling good about your achievements of today.
