Hi

I just wanted to update you all as i havent been on here for a while.
I have been having cbt and facing up to my fears. Dont get me wrong it wasnt easy and there are still some bad days but not many. I have learnt to vope with them and how to deal with situations.
After been told that there was nothing wrong with me i have found out that i do have a rythem issue with my heart (only minor) and my tummy issues are caused by food.
What iam trying to say is dont give up. Keep fighting this anxity as things can get better.

Good luck to everyone and happy new year

Wow, I am glad that CBT is working really well for you!

I am actually considering it but I can't seem to find an expert here who can accommodate me with my current HA fears.

Keep us posted!

I'm by no means an expert but there's a free course here:

I don't suffer from anxiety but I downloaded it and find it helpful for several issues in my life. Knowledge is power and by understanding why you react the way you do, it helps you to control it. This course does just that.

I started with the free no panic cbt course and it was by doing that which made me get help from first steps. My first counseller didnt work and i asked to see someone else. The new person listerned to me and for the first time ever they didnt make me feel silly with what i was thinking. Cbt isnt easy and its difficult facing up to what i was doing to myself but it works.
I tryed medication which does help some people but i would defo give cbt ago and positive thinking.

Good luck and

Great to have positive stories for inspiration.

Good luck flossy74. Remeber its not easy its hard work. Things can get worse before they get better (i relised what i was doing to myself and my family- it was a real shock) but things can get better. Life is for living and its too short to let anxity rule things.
Let us know how you get on.

Life is for living and its too short to let anxiety rule things..

That sounds very familiar.... I may have said that once or a dozen times here ;)

Hi Cpe1978,

Whereabouts did you see your therapist? I am in South East England (Kent).

The cbt lady I saw was very nice but I don't think she's had much experience of HA, and although I finished the course I was a bit disappointed that it didn't address a lot of my issues.

I would love to find a therapist more specialised in HA.

Thanks
