Hello all. I havent been on here much. Tomorrow I start an outpatient virtual hospital treatment. Its over Zoom and I am so anxious i want to puke. I thought with virtual I would be less anxious but by was I wrong. Any input or good vibes are appreciated. Its DBT and part of me is excited to learn but the other part of me is telling me to cancel. Ugh this is tough.

What are you thinking, that is causing you to want to cancel? What's causing the worry about this particular thing?

I understand anxiety and feeling excited and scared at the same time. Don't give up.

I am honestly scared the most to be on camera and mess up my words. Like what of I don't make sense or what of I annoy everyone on the meet. Other than that I have no idea what is making me want to cancel. I am not going to give up even though part of me wants to. Thank you for the encouragement! I appreciate it!

Understandable, I hate being the center of attention, even for a moment. It sounds like you'll be joined by other outpatients, yes? Does knowing that they might be thinking the same thing help? Even the doctor/therapist/leader of the meeting is probably feeling the same nerves. I know that doesn't always help me feel better, but sometimes it does. Knowing that other's are sharing the same worries. But it's cool that you're involved in some activity that will help you learn to deal with things a little better. I'm a little envious.

Good luck to you.

Thank you so much! I didnt think of it like that. I actually feel better about it. I am getting my desk ready and have my clothes out. It does feel better thinking someone else is feeling the same way. I am feeling more optimistic about this experience. I will keep you posted if you dont mind. It will help hold me accountable too. Thank you again for the support!
