Morning all,
Not going to post about my symptoms again, they're actually not awful. It's just my worry that makes them even worse.
But I just started flicking through threads on here and was in floods of tears. So many of us are out there, all over the world, suffering with this affliction/illness/malady that is called health anxiety. So many of us come here for friendship and reassurance and comfort. So many of us are suffering alone day to day, scared and upset. And it's such a hard cycle to break. And my heart wept for every one of you this morning. It's unfair. Why can't we live our lives like all the other people we see, free from worry. That bloody word. Worry. It's a disease, I swear it is.
Anyway, you're all in my thoughts. We'll never meet, but it doesn't mean we don't feel for each other. Or cry for each other.
Now on with my anxiety filled day!
