Jane,
Start challenging those feelings and thoughts about mirrors and showers slowly.
Try visualization techniques to get you started before exposing yourself to the phobia.
Ex: Imagine yourself in the bathroom looking at yourself in the mirror brushing your hair. Rate your anxiety. Repeat this visualization until you can bring your anxiety down to a manageable rate, then step it up.
Keep repeating this until you feel you can walk by a mirror, then stand in front of mirror with your back to it and so on & so forth.
Just remember to utilize relaxation techniques like deep breathing and if your anxiety becomes too overwhelming, stop, remove yourself from the situation and try again later.
Lastly, don't forget to keep working through the program.
Hope this helps,
Danielle

I've had panic disorder for about four years now, but in the last two months, things have taken a turn for the worst. I've been experiencing almost non-stop feelings of unreality and depersonalization, even though I haven't been having any actual panic attacks. Specifically, I have a huge fear of looking in the mirror - because I don't 'recognize' myself. It's an incredibly strange feeling, and I'm worried that I'll always be stuck like this. I think over the last two months, I have developed phobias of mirrors and taking showers (I had an almost 'out-of-body' experience in the shower that I'm guessing must have been a panic attack, although after dwelling on the sensation for so long, I'm starting to have doubts...) Anyway, these feelings are severely disrupting my life. Any suggestions for how I can cope?
