Hello @Evie1
I am glad you have support for this, perhaps you could address this in your next session? Maybe also try to not worry about crossing that bridge until it is happening and focus on taking one step after the next, as quick as possible to get to the other side. You could also take some deep breaths and think about your favourite animal or food, or call someone to distract you from those thoughts. It is good you are talking about it and trying to find ways of managing that.
Lunar 🙂

what suggestions have your psychologist given you to help manage so far @Evie1 and what have you found works for you?
