Channel 4 Documentary, I've been Chosen!!!

[langlim]

Hey all,

Just thought I'd say I've have been chosen along with 4 other people to take part in a documentary for Channel 4!

God I'm so nervous, filming starts on Thurs, I've gotta go into London for a consultation, i get an intense course of CBT from one the the countries leading CBT therapists - AND I CANNOT WAIT!!! as yet again my anxiety is back and BAD!

I have never really seen a documentary on health anxiety before and so many people just don't understand how awful this is to live with, and how restricting it is on our lives.

I'm 26, wanna be going out and enjoying my life, but am so scared all the time if i go out I'm gonna have a panic attack and die!!

Anyway hopefully it will show people out there, who are suffering, they are not alone, and thats why I'm doing it!!

Will keep u updated when it will be going out!

Congratulations, Laura!

Anybody is going to be anxious about this, but think of it as a golden opportunity to get some first class treatment and at the same time publicise health anxiety to the public at large.

Is this being down by the same team as OCD House?

Are being seen by Paul Savolskis?

Cheers,


Ray

Well done Laura.

I think its wonderful on two levels. One, that you get to access some excellent treatment and two, hopefully, as most of the others on here have already said, HA might get propelled into the public forums so that people can see how much we suffer and how it affects those around us.

The very best of luck to you.

I want to go up to my anxiety, smile, put my arm around it and say to it caringly, 'Hey! How are you? How's your day been?'

Then, just as its about to answer me, I wanna throw a sack over it and give it a hiding within an inch of its life.

That would be nice.

[langlim]

thank you everyone you has given their support and think its a good thing!!! - I just hope it helps me and can put the message out of how awful this is!!

Will keep you all updated

I was approached about this too but I emailed them saying I'd be far too embarrassed to go on TV, but that I thought it was great they were doing it.
So well done and good luck- we're all behind you, Laura.

Can anyone tell me more about these new documentaries? Are both Channel 4 and BBC about to go into production with these documentaries?

We are looking into a project ourselves at he moment, about health anxiety, can anyone suggest any clinicians or experts they would reccomend to speak to on the subject?
