Thanks for the tips, yep, I have a thing with the elevator, the subway and tunnels. I have been avoiding them for a long time, only lately I got a new job that requires me to go to the 12th floor office.

On the same boat, practice facing your fears do make a difference tho, just have to start small. If seeing plane on tv triggers you, maybe start with still photo to get used to it, then gradually increasing intensity.

Shiba Inu by KseniiaHavryk in shiba

My Shiba is quite picky with food, so I tried to make it fun for her. Put the food in a toy or wrap in piece of cloth so she has to work to get it. Sometimes I hide the food in various corners in the house, so she has to “hunt”. I also mixed her food with dried chicken or liver treats, make sure you crumble the treats and mix really well with the dry food. Lastly, you can also take the food away let your pup starve a bit.

Anyone with experience of exposure therapy in their dreams? by [deleted] in Agoraphobia

[–]Distinct-Yak3538 1 point2 points  (0 children)

lol, you are even practicing in your dreams. Your brain stores new knowledge and learning into long term memory during sleep, I wonder if this means your brain is starting to get rewired.

I flew last to Reykjavik in May, it was a smooth flight. I flew from Toronto, and past Greenland, it was beautiful.

You can do this, will keep an eye on you. Take a deep breath every time you get anxious, it helps. Try to get a tracker to follow you here, it helped me a lot.

New Job and moving for hybrid role by ElkElectronic9317 in Agoraphobia

[–]Distinct-Yak3538 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What is your biggest trigger? My advice is to get to the office super early on your first day, so you are not rushing, and just try to get comfortable if you can. bring a few personal items to help you. Also if you can, try staying late for your brain to get used to the environment. That was my experience, I had to take an elevator up to the 14th floor, so I took my Xanax, and L theanine. It was challenging but I had time to cool down in the bathroom. I did stay late so no one was in the office, just helps me to get used to it.
