Evening all,

I have decided that after tonight I am going to try and stop visiting this forum as I firmly believe that in a way it is keeping me locked in a place where it is ok to seek constant reassurance which I know is not helpful to recovering from anxiety.

However I couldn't leaves without saying a sincere thank you for all the support I have received on here. Some people's posts have been genuinely sanity saving.

I dare say I will pop back, hopefully when I am in a completely better place and able to help other people.

Good luck everyone,

Good luck and well done your right it's a fab site wouldn't knock it at all , It literally has been the only place I've been able to express my worries but it is sometimes a substitute for google as you type your symptoms into the search bar instead , let us know how you get on when your feeling better x

Completely agree it is a lifesaver and actually have met some wonderful people who ill stay in touch with. For me though it can only take me so far, and I have to reach a point where I don't think about health or health anxiety constantly.

Good luck to you too, I firmly believe that everyone will have their time when it feels right to get better.

Is that the bushes I can see twitching outside Katie. ;)

Roxy - as will you, eventually you will see the pattern and look back and wonder how your brain worked for a while..

Fishmanpa - your posts have helped me more than you could possibly imagine. I sincerely wish you the very best with your continued recovery and hope that when my time comes to face health adversity that I cope with it half as well as you have. I also hope that you continue to hang around here as so many people benefit from a rational non HA voice.

Honey, absolutely would love any tips. I have a plan, just need to discipline to follow it now. But you sound like you are talking from experience so please if you have time PM me any thoughts.

At the moment I intend to:

- continue CBT
- stop avoiding triggers
- face my fears head on
- start exercising more again
- spoil my kids
- watch Plymouth Argyle which in honesty puts everything in perspective
