Anerol: if you are using distraction, that's o.k. Sounds like something is starting for you, something positive. Are you challenging your negative thoughts and using positive self-talk? Good for you! That is definitely a step forward if you are staying in the building for longer periods.
I am finding being in a public building for a not-so-short period of time, difficult. There are harder days for me challenge and they are usually the days after overwhelming days or gloomy, rainy days. But these days I've been getting better at letting go and have experienced days which 'should have been' bad in the past to become a pleasant day. I can't really pin point what has changed in me, but I might be just interrupting all thoughts and be thinking or looking at something else.
Are you finding some situations harder to challenge than others? Are there harder days to challenge, than others? How did you cope and get passed this mountain?
A good idea is to take a look at your symptom tracker again and pinpoint which times or, places are most difficult to challenge. Be ready for the following week armed with this information and take a look at how to challenge your thoughts and use the 10 Tips: Exposure Work.
