Hi everyone
Hope your all well?
Well as many of you know I was a wreck and in a bad bad place. I could not follow anyone's advice. I bought books, asked for reassurance everywhere, tried different things like reflexology and nothing worked. I am sorry to everyone but want to thank all those that helped me. The day I started to change was my past doctors appointment and the day of my first CBT! My doctor did a blood test on me and after seeing him and others about twice a week for about 3 months and calling all the time he told me he was sick of it basically and told me to see a psychiatrist. I refused and started CBT and haven't looked back. I have a great relationship with the therapist. It is so different to doing it online. I was in a state as people know, I couldn't leave the house or talk on phone. I was convinced I had dementia and ruined Christmas etc. I couldn't sleep with health anxiety and no diazapam would help. The one thing that helped me most was the thing everyone was trying to tell me to stop on here.....asking for reassurance. I cannot stress enough. Stopping was THE hardest thing ever but I did it and now am getting back to normal. Can go places, speak to people Ect. I am starting to enjoy things again and haven't been doctors since Jan. HA is evil but can be beat. I still worry but techniques help. Anyone that's got HA really bad please see a doctor and demand CBT. It may not work for everyone but is worth a shot.
