Does anyone do CBT, and if so have you conquered your "irrational beliefs"? I'm a big fan of CBT, but I can't stop believing in my underlying fear of abandonment, and the more I work on it, the more it bothers me. Just thinking about the anxiety causes anxiety, day after day.

I'm going through all of the steps to disengage from my current beliefs, but every day is hellacious. I've been constantly reassured since I was a very small child that I was loved unconditionally, but I never completely believed it (I was diagnosed with PTSD when I was three, never really recovered).

I've had all sorts of anxiety-related disorders (obsessive-compulsive, anorexia & bulimia) and now bipolar too... so now I don't know day to day whether I'll wake up on top of the world and anxiety-free, or barely able to leave the house.

I've also been waiting for over a week to get the results for this incredibly severe skin rash (covering my torso) which has a high likelihood of being psoriasis. Sorry, I'm majorly unloading, and I know that there are people here have it much worse than I do... I'm just really overwhelmed right now. Any coping advice would be highly appreciated.
