I do allow some time for exposure but I have to be real careful and not let it take over. I have found reading or doing something else to help. Today when it started, I could feel a panic attack coming on so I started my husband's supper earlier than I usually do. (I hate cooking). It is just if I allow them, the intrusive thoughts will get the best of me. I, also, have to contend with ADD. I am not giving up. I just hate the thoughts. I can control them at work by staying busy. The people I work with have learned I have to be doing something. I am the office manager and if I am not busy, I will find some mundane task that needs to be done and do it. I am not better than anyone else at work. I have found the new employees don't mind doing the boring tasks if I am willing to do it, too.
