Right so this is my 1000th post on NMP it is only right I suppose that I should add it to the success stories…..
19months ago when I joined NMP I was in a complete mess, could not get out the house , even getting out of bed and facing the day was a struggle, to be completely honest I really felt that if every day was going to be like that then I really did not want to be here because it was not a life I had it was an existence and one to me where I had no future because of the way I felt completely anx ridden, panic attacks, depersonalisation, derealisation and depression just to rub salt into the wounds.
I looked back at one of my early posts on here, my anxiety diary and realised much things have actually changed for me, it is not until you start to look back at things that you realise where you were and where you are now so those who are really suffering at the moment I suggest making an anxiety diary because then you can see how you are progressing and it makes you realise that it is the little achievements which are important rather than the bigger picture…… you have to take those little steps to be able to achieve your end goal.

I have come from there to being able to go out anywhere, driving to places I have never been (BIG thing for me) I really do not mind being alone, I still don’t like getting up in the morning…..but for a different reason now, I like my sleep J I can still be shy and withdrawn (nobody believes me that I am shy) but to me the change in is like black and white and I am hoping my friends can see that too.
Never under estimate how having a friend who understands what you are going can help you. I have met a few very very close friends on here and they will know who they are :D :D I have also met one inspirational woman who I can talk about absolutely anything to knowing that I can trust her completely with anything I say and if it was not for her then I know 150% that I would not be where I am today, So thank you lots and lots Miss P xxxxxxxx
In my mind there is no cure to Anxiety, we all get it just unfortunately some of us suffer with it to the extremes and in the worst it is extremely debilitating as all of us know. I know it will always be there sat on my shoulder and when I let my guard down it appears again but NMP has given me the tools to deal with things and I know that when it does appear I am able to tell it where to go, this is one of the things that NMP does best.
Remember that things can change for you, medication or no medication, take those small steps and do not aim for the giant leaps because you will just fall over and have to start your journey all over again…. You WILL live your life how you want to live it you just have to believe in yourself and believe in your ability to over come the obstacles that are in your path.
