Four steps, one decision at a time. Select a step to read more.
Anxiety that doesn't go away can start to interfere with daily activities (NIMH). Often it shows up in plans: the ones you skip, cut short or dread for days.
Saying no, cancelling late, or finding a reason to stay home.
Getting through part of something, then needing to get out.
Running a conversation over and over, before and after it happens.
Re-reading the message, re-checking the plan, asking for reassurance.
Feeling nervous about a group is understandable, and it's a fair thing to bring up on the free call. Questions you could ask:
If I ask a question, everyone will judge me.
What makes that feel likely? What else could happen?
I can be nervous and still ask. I don't know what they'll think.
Approaches described by the National Institute of Mental Health, such as questioning automatic thoughts and gradual exposure. Whether and how they're used is part of your plan with your clinician.
In a study of 66 adults in an intensive outpatient program, the group's average anxiety score went from the moderate range at the start to the minimal range at the end.
That program met three days a week for three hours a day.
Anxiety symptoms: group average 33.65 at the start and 17.80 at the end, on a scale from 0 to 80 where lower means fewer symptoms.
| Measure | Start (average) | End (average) |
|---|---|---|
| Anxiety (CUXOS, 0–80) | 33.65 (moderate range) | 17.80 (minimal range) |
